The first thing I remember seeing him in was The Full Monty. He was great and I have enjoyed noticing him in numerous films since

Thanks for the scene you posted

Only one sold. One hundred bucks to a single bidder

Looking forward to having a cocktail in hand and counting bats falling from the house I put up in Virginia when you are up there with me

The toughest part if you have one of each variety in the same barkgraft is picking which one to keep.

If they both keep doing well, next spring you can graft the loser onto the winner so that you get to keep both

I am so happy you had success.

I gave away the pot of 20-30 from last year, but I have about as many this year pulled and waiting to be potted in a cup of water in my kitchen.

I will watch this post and have clicked the "notify me when someone replies " button, and you can give me your contact when we are both online, so that you can erase as quickly as possible

or if you prefer, or for anyone in the future looking for bulk Cypress, they sprout like mad under every Cypress in the springtime, and if you catch them just after germination, with a gentle wiggle and tug (no pics), they come right up.

Poke a hole in the dirt an inch or so deep using a skinny twig, slip the seedling in, and push the surrounding soil down with your fingers.

The seedlings have a distinctive appearance, with the 1st leaves/cotyledons showing a starburst pattern

When I first moved into my house with my first pool, we hired a company called clear pool or always clear or Crystal clear, something like that, who promised to live up to their name with no effort on my part

After a few months with the pool always green, and getting settled in well enough to start paying attention, I noticed that the guy would come by twice a week carrying two five gallon buckets of " chemicals". He would do a quick five drop pH and chlorine test, dump both buckets in, and leave.

I installed a saltwater generator and I've been keeping it myself ever since

cheap(er)? Yes, probably, but also willing to pay or provide a favor in kind (though nothing too terribly naughty).

Also simpler, with less leg work, and an opportunity to share a common interest with a fellow tiger fan and hobbyist.

On this board /forum (H&G), where I have shared and received plant material with/from fellow posters, and there is an unusual degree of easy-going camaraderie compared to the other forums here, my presumption did not seem too out of line.

Can anyone recommend a local machinist with a lathe who can turn down a 9" length of pipe from 1.5" diameter down to 1.35" through most of its length, tapered up to 1.375" for 2-3" length on one end?

It is to modify a 5c Collet Closer Drawbar to fit the spindle of my own small lathe

It definitely is something you improve on with repetition. but in my experience, the trees do not read the textbook and my confidence in the quality of the graft does not always correlate with ultimate success.

Time for a replaster and also need my overflow/skimmer boxes replaced, along with some minor tile work

Recommendations for someone to do the work in baton rouge?

I can't find it now, but I recall someone here recommending someone who replaced their skimmer boxes and was pleased with the work and the price

We've replastered once before, and it didn't last long. There are quite a few available products, and I'd rather spend half again as much for something that will look good longer. Any advice on the best way to go?

We've had progressively worse water loss, and had the plumbing pressure checked with no leaks. Except the cracked skimmer boxes and where they are sealed at the pool edge.

But the guy who did the pressure testing told my wife that the grout for the line of tile at the top of the pool needs to be sealed periodically. I've been here 20 years and never done that, so a lot of my leakage may be there as well.

Anyone familiar with the right product for that? The water level comes about halfway up the tile, so it would need to be something suitable for submerged grout
