    Lawn care

    Yeah, I think I really need to start seeding in the spring/fall and get a more established grass system. I tried a organic pre-emergent this year which doesn't seem to have done any good.

    Lawn care

    My lawn wasn't too bad in the spring but the weeds have come back like crazy. 1/2 the lawn is crabgrass now. I'm a little embarrassed to go outside. Probably time to start putting down some weed killer on a regular basis. I'd really prefer to not use any chemicals.

    What's the most expensive STEAM game you've paid for?

    Don't think I've spent over $7 on any game on steam. I'm so far behind I tend to get the games that are on sale for $5.

    Sub-$20K car recommendations?

    We have a 2010 Elantra and so far so good. Engine isn't the smoothest thing but in this price range they're all a little bit rough. I love the look of the new one but the wife didn't want to wait so we went with the 2010.

    whats the most reliable SSD right now?

    I really would have expected failure rates to be really low, maybe it's still too immature but I recall way back when the drive makers were like "it's got no moving parts, nothing to wear out or break, it's indestructible. I guess I'm going to wait another year or two.
