    Let's Talk Lawns

    I am using Scotts turf builder and gypsum/humate on my clay soil. So far so good. Also I water 2 times per week at night when it is hot. I keep my grass at three inches, less stress and keeps it greener. These are all experiments for me as the sod was put in last year.

    Help me decide I want a mid-size SUV

    The rest of the story. We finally decided to go with the 2.5 L engine as it got better gas mileage and accelerated well enough to get us into and out of traffic.

    Laser and plasma cutting agate

    I am a Rockhound and have been doing some carving of agate. I was wondering if it was possible to carve stone with a laser or plasma? Trying to reduce the time it takes to carve a dog without all the multiple steps of grinding and polishing.
