General Banter / Disc Golf on Real World

« on: May 12, 2013, 09:24:33 AM »

My wife just told me about a clip of disc golf on the Real World in Portland  It was good video, better than most on tv shows where they just talk about playing disc.  Look closely at one of the discs they are throwing.  It aired on May 8th.

Young Park - Blue Springs / baskets moved March 9

« on: March 09, 2013, 06:36:28 PM »

I moved some baskets today to locations  with the slope facing south except 9 to rt.  Moved 10 long and  6 rt.  Certain basket locations that get more sun/more open or that face south will remain there for awhile or will be be moved  for erosion reasons(mud) and in order to grow grass.  I know folks get tired of playing certain holes over and over, but it is more important to get the grass to take hold.  Last year we roped off parts of fairways and high trafficked areas, raked in seed, and put down straw.  There is no straw for this year to be donated from my sources so i am focusing on what i can fix with limited resources.  So please be patient with the layout.  Course was seeded by the parks last fall and will likely be seeded again in spring, but it only takes a couple knuckleheads stepping in the mud and all that seed gets disrupted.  Ponds are full and are ready to swallow your discs .

Young Park - Blue Springs / Shoveled pads-Friday, Feb 22

« on: February 22, 2013, 05:24:31 PM »

All 18 pads are clean, some short ones as well.  Tough getting into back part of the park  where the parking for the course is because it has not been cleared, however some folks have been traveling back and forth leaving some ruts.  I would park by hole 9 if you do not have 4 wheel drive.

If you did not know this already, those pads are really big.

General Banter / one of the best soccer games ever-USA women vs Canada!

« on: August 06, 2012, 04:20:54 PM »

this had to be one of the best games ever in women's soccer.  if you missed it and are a soccer fan, you must find a way to watch this game.  Sinclair with the hat trick, back and forth goals being scored, double  extra time, Rapinoe was as good as ever, and Morgan comes up big at the end.

Young Park - Blue Springs / spraying for ivy tonight 5-10-12

« on: May 10, 2012, 01:37:56 PM »

I will be out at the park spraying tonight at 5.  Come on out and let's get down on some ivy eradication.  We got 12 hours in already this year and this should be the last big ivy bomb drop before the KCWO. 

Future work projects will be  spreading mulch and weed wacking.  I will post those as we get closer.  I would like to see what the P&R accomplish first and then take it from there.

General Banter / Air Conditioning Freon Recharging Heads Up-Costs are tripling

« on: May 05, 2012, 07:35:20 PM »

So this is a heads up for those of you that have AC units with leaks.  My cousin is in Heating and Air and came over to recharge my house  AC.  Freon recently doubled in price and will triple in price in a few weeks.  So if you have an older unit, now might be the time to get it recharged before it costs you more.  Supposedly the EPA is trying to get Americans to switch over to newer units that use a different type of freon.  This freon can't be used in older units so millions of folks will have to face the unexpected higher costs of freon or paying thousands for a new unit, lines, a coil etc. 

When  he told me the cost for the freon (his costs) i was shocked.  So i hope this saves a couple of you all some dineros if you were planning on recharging your AC units.
