Greenwood Propane Torch (Harbor Freight)

We have a triangular area out front that is covered in river stones. The stones were dirty when delivered, but we were able to wash them off with a hose. Unfortunately, all that soil ended up under the stones and on top of the underlying anti-weed fabric. So weeds have started growing in that soil. We've been pulling the weeds by hand, but that's getting old and this year there are a shit ton of dandelions growing in the stones. We don't use chemicals in the yard, so the only other option was a weed torch. I took out a lot of weeds today in maybe 25-30 minutes. We'll see how long they stay gone.

I overdid it. Should have read Bob Vila first. You don't have to char the weed to cinders. Just a quick zap to alter the internal workings of the weed and it'll die in a day or two. That'll make it easier next time.

Tru dat. I was disappointed they didn't burn to a cinder more quickly. I really need a ray gun or some sort of laser zapper.

Those prices are why I just let the dealer do it. For about $20 net, they can deal with the mess and used oil.

I mean, $85 for an oil change on the BMW and roughly $72 for the Mercedes? Can't beat those prices IMO. BMW charges around $100 (they use 0W-20. Not 5W-30) if I am not mistaken. Idek if Mercedes solely does oil changes anymore since they have that service A/B crap.


Plus, I realistically pay about $45~ for an oil change on both the BMW and Mercedes. FCPEURO.com has a lifetime warranty on everything. All I pay for is shipping the used oil back.

So I've had some time to play around with my new Toy. This Fridge is absolutely incredible! The looks inside and out, the technology, the multizone temp control, the Beverage Station with built-in Water Pitcher, the 6lbs of two kinds of ice, the Ai features, the 30in HD Touch Screen and more.

Just picked this up at Costco. An impulse buy as it was 39.99 in store versus the 53.99 online...

I got the same one the other day. I believe it's a Costco-branded Apex8 model.
