That’s right folks I’m talking about bugs. After over watering and under watering the same dying patches of my lawn I have come to a unmistakable conclusion: Something is eating the roots out of my lawn. My neighbor was having the same problem and he put down something to kill them and pushed them...

Ranch Chicken
Chicken quarters or just thighs (You could use breasts but they just don’t have the favor) 1 lb shell pasta (Don’t mess around, Bertolli is the best that you can buy in a grocery store in America or Italy) 1/4 cup sour cream 1/2 can of chicken broth 2 tsp onion powder 2 tlbs...
Camping Out, Sleeping In
Now that the system is <a href=”http://angrygardner.com/?postid=3″>closed</a> I decided that we could start sleeping outside in the tent and what not. Just because we live in the big city doesn’t we can’t live like hicks right? We, the kids, the dog, and I, wait around for the temps to drop a little and set...
Finally, A Closed System.
The System being my back yard, and closed meaning completely fenced. Giving no way for kids or dogs to get in or out, well except for climbing, digging, chainsaws, or matches. I really like the gate even with its inherent problems, see Measure once. MC 84/70
Pork Parmigiano
Pork tenderloin (I buy the whole roast and cut off what I need) 16 oz bottle of Italian dressing (cheap is good) 1 cup Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (not the green can crap) 2 Tbls Kosher salt (believe me there is a difference) Cube pork tenderloin into 1 inch cubes Place meat into a non-reactive container...
Measure Once…
Something, something. For my more gentle readers I am now going into edit mode. STUPID, @#$@!$^&, PIECE OF PUTRID, SON OF A KETCHUP, ROTTEN CAT EATING measuring tape. I checked, and rechecked to make sure that my posts for the gate was plumb and true. I went to build the gate and measured again...
Because Exxon Was Hurting (The EDV)
I find it tough to watch the shareholders of the oil industry take such a beating as their companies struggle to make a profit. So in the interest of the greater good I bought an gas guzzling monster 1998 Ford Expedition or as I call it the EDV Exxon Donation Vehicle. The way I...
I’m Much Too Young…
To feel this damn old. Apparently, digging 3 32 inch holes and mixing 240lbs of concrete to set the last of the posts will kick my butt. However, my fence posts look great. Three post holes and the fence is done; well at least the hard part. By the end of the week the...
Free Water, As If From Heaven
I love rain, I love rainy days and Mondays, even though they bring me down, I love a rainy night, I love raindrops that keep fall’n on my head. You get the idea. It has been rainy and overcast the past couple of days, it is my favorite weather. Probably because I grew up...
I Hate My Sprinkler System
The front where I have the cheap little popups work okay. The back where it is covered by the big expensive rotary head always looks horrible. So I went to Lowes and bought a self timing pulse sprinkler MS 92/61
