This is the most “Facebook marketplace” listing I have ever seen. Saying “It has an electrical problem, but everything is fine.” when talking about an 18 year old Bentley is just absolute perfection!

The 2026 World Cup had a major challenge with grass: FIFA retrofit 16 stadiums in Canada, Mexico and US to keep fields consistent for 48 teams and 104 matches. It asked grass scientists at U of Tennessee and to design solution: ▫️they made a modular hybrid turf (95% grass / 5% synthetic fiber) that is easily rollable, transportable and installable ▫️each field has 20 million synenthic fibers sewn into dirt (grassroots intertwine with fibers to prevent field from tearing) ▫️all 11 stadiums in US host NFL teams…7 of those had to do special conversion of astroturf fields (Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, LA, NY, Seattle) ▫️5 stadiums have a dome (eg. BC Place in Vancouver) and scientists developed special UV grow light machines to help maintain grass in those structures ▫️grass in Southern US and two Mexico locations (Monterrey, Guadalajara) need grass species for warm and humid temperatures (“Bermuda grass”) ▫️Northern US/Canada and Mexico City need grass for cooler climates (“Kentucky bluegrass”) ▫️scientists built special machines to test player foot impact and ball bouncing effect (reduce injuries and make sure ball movement consistent) ▫️grass sods we’re grown on plastic so they spread horizontally, making it easier to roll and transport *** Interview with U Tennessee grass science expert Dr. John Sorochan (via PBS): youtu.be/21BEimIs2bY?si=MdQ5…

We had a visitor last night. No reference in the video, but they are good size prints.

Only the second time in 20 years that we have pulled out the aerifyer to break up ice. First time hooking it up to the dingo to help get around the snowy course. Transport speeds were almost identical so it worked great.

Honda is really ahead of the game with these autonomous snowblowers!

Well, it looks like we are going to go for round 3 of melting/shoveling snow and ice off the greens. Never seen a December like this one!

I feel lucky that we avoided the wildfire smoke for most of the summer. Looks like our luck wore out.

I take it back. Akins and Tre both asked them to get off the head before it happened. Holloman then forcibly removed them from the logo. Welcome to the rivalry youngins.
