re: How often do you pull up all your old mulch before laying new?

Posted by tigeroarz1 on 3/27/26 at 1:12 pm to OysterPoBoy

Add a layer of some black cow manure or compost and mix it in. It will give it the fresh darker look and add nutrients.

Old mulch will still do most of its job (retains moisture and weed deterrent). I’ve never removed it.

Depends on what kind of sand.

Kiawah, SC the sand is flat and hard. Almost like concrete. The 4 small wheels work well.

On softer beaches where your feet sink ankle deep while you walk the big fat tires work better.

I trust the apple batteries more than the Amazon batteries (to not explode).

15 years ago High Point was basically a community college. They hired a president that is a master marketer. He sales the school on it’s amenities and it being gated from the outside. You can live a life of luxury as a student at High Point way cheaper than you could living as a struggling student going to school in the North East. The president puts his name on all the buildings.

I can’t believe Hawaii had a team. They had to be the first team to go broke.

80% of the students are from out of state. Most are Yankees.

She likes to cover punk bands Rancid and Operation Ivy (90s Northern Cal punk). Here’s one of a Rancid song

Saw her play with Billy Strings a couple of years ago. She’s recently married to/or engaged to Ketch from Old Crow Medicine Show.

I would rather put prices on items than hear this all day “How much dis? How much dat?”

re: Aruba - recommendations?

Posted by tigeroarz1 on 3/2/26 at 2:37 pm to TommyCheeseballs

I’m headed there next week. Any recommendations not mentioned above? We’ll have a rental car (sedan). Anything cool to visit that doesn’t need a 4x4? We mostly just want to hang out on Eagle Beach but wouldn’t mind an hour or two sightseeing trip a couple of times.

Sam Fender

Posted by tigeroarz1 on 2/22/26 at 12:05 pm

Anyone else here a fan? Over the past couple of years he’d have songs pop up on Sirius/XM that would peak my interest but I never went searching for him.

Late last year I finally deep dived on Spotify and I’ve been obsessed with his last album. His album People Watching is my 2025 album of the year.

This YouTube video of his sold out concert in London Stadium is really good.

re: Mazda CX-5...Any of you have experience owning a Mazda?

Posted by tigeroarz1 on 2/21/26 at 7:37 am to doublecutter

I bought a brand new Mazda 3 back in 2006 and owned it for about 15 years. It was a great car and never gave me any problems. I only traded it in because my wife wanted a new car so I inherited the car she was driving.

Two out of the box ideas would be visiting the Botanical Gardens in Phoenix and legendary architect Frank Loyd Wright’s home and school Taliesin West in Scottsdale. Both are really cool.
