Here I am working on my website!

I have been so busy developing a website for another company that I have hardly had time to work on this one. But now that I have that website done and under a good management schedule, I can find time to work on this now.

I hope you enjoy the changes!
 
     
Looks like I was in Fayetteville. That's my nephew, Jonathan and my father, Dan. And of course Milesy. We were having a great time together.  
     
My girl! She can't get enough of me... always bothering me. hehe  
     
Donna grabbed me on my way out one morning and forced me to pose for this picture with her. She's a nut!  
     
I re-planted my front lawn with Penncross Bentgrass on Labor Day weekend 2010. Here, I am syringing it to help it during stressful weather.

Man it really looks beautiful...
 
     
This is after 7 days. The seed germinated in 4 days, and it just took off.    
     
I am mowing it three times a week @ 7/8 of an inch high. I mow it on Tuesdays & Thursdays with a 7 blade reel mower, and again on Saturdays with my High-Vac Honda.

 
     
Bentgrass requires a lot of maintenance as well as an eye for identifying turf diseases. I almost lost it after the third week to Pythium Blight. But an application of Subdue Max (Mefenoxam AQ2) did the trick.

Disease management is key, but very expensive.
 
 
     
I fertilize it every 4 weeks with a fertilizer I purchase at my local Lesco store (John Deere Landscapes). I use 18-2-18.

When under stress, I'll spray Green Flo Phyte (0-0-18) on it to help. 
 
     
My man cave! I have been too busy to fly much lately, but I think things will get better soon.  
     
My first RC passion-- Helis!

Did you see our video?
 
     
This is a picture of me cooking during our annual 4th of July party. Ahren Whitman helped me pull the pork apart.

I cooked 30lbs of pulled pork BBQ and  about 20 pounds of chicken legs!

 
     
We had about 75-90 people this year. My parents even came up for the party. That's them in the back of this picture!  
     
Here I am lighting the giant sparklers for the kids! A blow torch works best.  
     
My mom & pop. They look great and happy!  
     
In the fall, I had a chance to play golf with Bobby Knight! He's a riot. Very funny guy.  
     
Another picture of me in the snow from around February 2010. What's new?

I'm tired of snow.
