    Zoysia is not really recommended for Colorado. It will not green up until pretty late, whereas if you sod the right kind of bluegrass mix, it will be green in the early spring if we get normal snow/rain. We did our last lawn so long ago I have even forgotten the contractor, but we always installed the turf ourselves after they delivered. Easy and you can put the best rolls where you want if there is variation. Check out the CSU web site for grass details:

    Posted in the Pay It Forward thread as well, free firewood in Arvada. It's cottonwood, so not ideal, but burns pretty well. Some cut and split, some needing to be cut.

    Ed, I will run over to the school tech warehouse. They NEVER throw anything away! I know we had some, so maybe I can find one. If so I will let you know. I am going to watch Lindsey throw at Air Force Friday so I could meet up with you Saturday maybe when I am going home, afetr a Cabelas stop..:wink:

    Sorry it's not what you need, Ed.

    I have two of these gathering dust in a box at my desk - used to love 'em for CAD work, but they went the way of the Dodo.

    You know how that device got its name, right? From the early beginning of computer devices:

    I went in to Grand Prix tonight for an oil filter for my Suzuki DR650. The guy looked at me like I was a space alien. :patch

    We won't have those.

    What do you mean, I've bought them here for years.

    We aren't a Suzuki dealer any more. We've become an Indian dealership.

    WTF?!?! :eek1 How many Indians do they think they'll sell? They still have Yamaha but Vickery is my lifetime dealer for those (1969 DT-1 :ricky).

    Does anyone know what happened? Didn't sell enough to make money or got dropped by Suzuki?

    They also got ride of about 2/3 of their clothing racks. :scratch

    They did have one filter left. :D
