Trains End Supper Club

Posted on 7:26 AM by Unknown
To answer knowitall (which seems odd) - what you are talking about is called Milky Spor a soil-dwelling, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium. It is responsible for a disease (commonly called milky spore) of the white grubs of Japanese beetles. I believe it takes a few years to accumulate in the soil.

You sprinkle it on your lawn and it grows but these things are tiny so it takes a while to cover the lawn. The cool thing is that every time a beetle is infected it consumes the grub like a little incubator.

Timing is important and you don't spread the spore until August. This is a reactive defense - there is also a much more fun proactive where you spray the infected shrub and it not only kills the beetle on the leaves but stays for a few weeks killing other beetles (and any other bug that eats the leaf). This of course must be done carefully as all bugs are not bad.

Another thing to do is buy Bayer Advanced Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed. Recommended at Jungs.
---------------------------------------

So I might as well ask - anybody have a spare clothes washer that is laying around in their basement, I would like it relatively new!

The one we currently have is FUBR so it looks like a trip to the clothes washer store this weekend . . .. unless we buy one of those hand crank ones!!

----------------------------------

Went to Portage yesterday and met with the owners of the Trails End Supper Club. I would say it's the Portage equivalent of the Capri except with a pioneer motif.

It is a shot from the inside of the bar area.


and while I was driving around town looking for interesting places I came across an old grand stand.  Climbed around it and took this shot.


Anyway looks like I need nice 20x30 and 6 12x18 framed pieces.  Not expecting much out of this except for referrals.  It seems every time I put up images somewhere I get calls sooner or later so while I might not reap huge rewards on this spot, the long run always seems to be beneficial.
-------------------------------------

Guess I'll have to go into Madison Thursday to get a few things done which are not getting done!  I'm asking to get paid for this stuff.  grrrrrrr! Come on man!

Not much more to say.  I have to figure out what to put up and where.  I'll be installing the prints on the same day as THE ROYAL WEDDING!!   DJ is taking the day off for the festivities!

Cheers
Rod
