From Frosty Lager to Lush Lawn: Navigating Post-Summer Bermuda Grass Care and Pest Control
Are you ready to turn your Bermuda lawn into the envy of the neighborhood? As the summer heat starts to cool, we're here to reveal how to keep that green glory looking its best. We've got a frosty Brooklyn Lager in hand, so let's dive into the four pillars of post-summer lawn care: mowing, watering, fertilizing, and weeding. We have a lively chat about soil temperature and the magic of applying pre-emergent at just the right time. With a potential El Nino on the horizon, we discuss how a wetter winter might be a blessing in disguise for your lawn.
Ever wondered what creepy crawlies lurk beneath your lush lawn? We're shining the spotlight on grubs and insects that could potentially wreak havoc on your Bermuda grass. We share the tell-tale signs of an infestation and how to protect your green oasis. We also have a special shoutout to Justin Kornek; you won't believe his impressive fire hose irrigation setup! Remember, regular pest control treatments aren't just good practice - they're a must for maintaining a healthy lawn.
As we bid farewell to summer and embrace the cooler temperatures, we explore how the essentials of lawn care evolve with the seasons. Weighing the pros and cons of overseeding with rye, we prepare you for the best outcome. With pre-emergent weeding and the right fertilizing and watering techniques, your lawn can thrive in winter, too. As we wrap up, we share our plan to keep the tips coming, switching to monthly podcasts over the winter months. So grab your favorite brew, sit back, and listen in - together, we'll ensure you have a lush lawn all year round.

Speaker 3:Welcome to another exciting episode of the BLD podcast. As the warm summer days begin to fade and the crisp autumn breeze sets in, it's time to shift our focus from beach towels to rakes. In today's episode we're going to unlock the secrets of end of summer lawn care and guide you through the journey of transforming your Bermuda lawn into a post-summer masterpiece. But first let's quench our thirst with the Lawn Beer of the Week.
Speaker 4:Welcome to the Lawn Beer of the Week, where we motivate your lawn care with a side of hoppy happiness. Join us as we sip on refreshing brews that pair perfectly with tending to your lawn. Get ready to enjoy some grassy goodness and raise a glass to a lawn well done.
Speaker 1:So this week we have the Bricklin Lager from the Bricklin Brewing Company.
Speaker 3:Bold, toasty and iconic. It says that's right.
Speaker 1:It's supposed to have hints of grapefruit and it's supposed to taste kind of toasty. So my daughter lives in New York, you know on Long Island.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Long Island, and so we were up there visiting her. We were in the city, we usually stay in the city, and so when I'm somewhere else, I usually try to get a local beer.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh yeah. So this is the Bricklin Brewery.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I got a the Bricklin Bricklin Lager the first time up there and we're actually in Manhattan but they had it at this place. We were eating and so I got that and it was really good. I really enjoyed it, really good beer. And then I came back to Texas and found out you don't have to go to New York to get it.
Speaker 3:You can get it anywhere. Oh good yeah.
Speaker 1:It's all over the place.
Speaker 3:Well, they have a website too. It's Bricklin Brewerycom, if anybody's interested.
Speaker 1:So this is 5.2 ABV, so it's a little more alcohol than some of the others, but it's a it's it's still a light crisp beer that's good for the summer.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, that's a good, that's a good beer. I like that it is. I don't really taste grapefruit. Yeah, I don't taste it, I don't.
Speaker 1:I don't. I usually the notes that they tell you you're supposed to taste it beer.
Speaker 3:No, I got the, the second, second swing. I got a little bit of that, maybe because I was talking about it, thinking about it. It's good though it's, and I guess that citrus kind of makes it a lawn or a summer beer for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, light, light beer.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's perfect. So, yeah, I like that. So that's 10 beers now. People ought to have quite the collection for next summer, if they haven't already started.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like that one. That's a good beer. There's a good one. It's a little bit. It's got a little bit of a bitter bitterness to it. The kind of the. This is the amber lager. Why, yeah, kind of reminds me of fall, as a matter of fact, just fall. Yeah, there used to be a beer I loved that was came out only at Christmas. It was Corsair Winterfest beer. You ever heard of that?
Speaker 1:one? No, I haven't.
Speaker 3:This one has that hint of that same flavor. Oh yeah, yeah, it was. I don't think they make it anymore. I hadn't seen it in years. Yeah, I like this beer.
Speaker 1:So what are we talking about this week? So this week we're talking about end of summer lawn care. So what do we do toward the end of summer? I mean it's getting close to the end of summer. I guess it's kind of hard to believe here because you know it's been 105 for the last month and a half.
Speaker 3:Yes, we probably got some rain, though for anybody keeping track, finally, what two and a half months?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't even think we broke 90 yesterday. I don't either. It was in the 80s, most of the day yeah, it was really really nice. Yeah, today wasn't too bad either. So how much rain was in your gauge?
Speaker 3:About three quarters of an inch.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's pretty good. That's what I say.
Speaker 3:All droughts are ended by floods. Here, yeah, it didn't quite flood, but now I suspect we'll get A lot more. It's supposed to be a I've heard different sides of this, but it's supposed to be a wet fall.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Which I'm hoping for, because I'd like to get out and get the lawn where I want it for the last of the season, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:The October 31st marker that I have.
Speaker 1:That's right. That's my last show date, the last show date for the lawn. Yeah. Yeah, we have an El Nino this year, and so for the folks in the southern half of the US it's supposed to be a wetter winter. There's supposed to be less, less tropical storms in the Atlantic, although they were like four or five this last week. So I don't know, I don't know how well that's panning out, but hopefully it'll be a better winter than we've had.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so as we move into the fall, how do we change our lawn stuff? You know, I really don't change a lot. It's still the four tenants right Mowing, watering, fertilizing and weeding in that order, and you just got to keep those things under control. So with my mowing sometimes I start to slow down a little bit because the grass isn't quite as active as it has been in the heat, because the breeder loves the heat, right, right, he loves the heat as long as he's getting water.
Speaker 3:So it hasn't done that, the mowing I typically will slow down and typically don't need to put any PGR down. If it's slowing down Watering you can usually back off because it's not quite as hot. Watering a little bit. Fertilize I still every four to six weeks. And then it's also time for me to put down some pre-emergent. And this is about the time as we start to come out of the heat of summer down here in South Texas. July and August, as we start coming out of that, it's usually when I'll start fertilizing again. So it's about time for me to put some fertilizer down and some pre-emergent down, both.
Speaker 3:So with your mowing, do you take it up the height of cut Well, I do start taking it up towards the end of the season, and that's because the grass is going to go dormant in the winter, right, and so I just think it's just a personal preference for me. I think it looks better to have a little bit longer dormant grass out there. That's nicely cut, so I'll start taking it up as we get closer and closer to the dormancy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've heard people say that the longer grass helps insulate the roots from the cold and that sort of thing. I'm not so sure that there's any science behind that.
Speaker 3:But we have a 12 inch frost line here, so it doesn't really matter here so much.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've also read people say keep it longer in the summer because it provides shade for the roots. Yeah, for the roots. Yeah, which isn't true either. No, well, I guess it is true. Maybe it does provide some shade, but I don't know if there's any benefit from it. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3:The watering. Yeah, I start backing off just with the weather, though you know I use the Racio so it's automatic and it starts backing off based on the temperature. So that's no problem. But if you're hand watering or you're manually watering or you've got a manual controller, I would start backing off. You still want about an inch a week, but if it's not as hot outside, you definitely don't want to be putting as much as you were when it was 100 out there.
Speaker 1:So do you water throughout the whole winter? I do not. I do not. I used to.
Speaker 3:I used to do that and I've just found that it wasn't necessary. You know, there's some theories out there that keeps the roots well moistened. I guess if it was a super dry winter which we don't have super dry winters here, so we usually get a little bit of precipitation throughout the winter, so I've never had any issues. The water bills here are so expensive for the sprinkler system.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I, just as I enjoy the break from having to mow in the winter, I also enjoy the break from having to pay the water bill.
Speaker 1:You save up in the winter for the summer water bills. That's exactly right, yeah.
Speaker 3:And then if you're in city limits, you know, february is when they measure how much water you use, to charge you for your septic Right. So you definitely don't want to be watering then, although with the here we have the separate water meters. So I don't know that. I don't know if they count both both water meters.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I wouldn't think that we count?
Speaker 3:I wouldn't think so either, but if you're on one water meter, then definitely don't want to be watering in February when they're monitoring it for to figure out how much to charge you for the septic or for sewer.
Speaker 1:So with the fertilizer you say you just keep going with what you normally doing. How late into the season do you fertilize? Just until it's the growing season is over?
Speaker 3:Yeah, usually that show date, that October 31 show date, fertilizing right up to probably three to four weeks out from it.
Speaker 3:So what, the beginning of October is using my last one, maybe three weeks out, and then I might usually throw a little iron on three or four days before Thanksgiving or before Halloween, just to green it up a little extra, yeah, and it's warm enough here to do that at that time, but that that's usually the last time I'm throwing anything down for the lawn for fertilizing the lawn Now on the weeding side though, and putting down pre emergent in once a quarter regardless. I mean, I've skipped it before and I've paid for it. Yeah usually around January those winter weeds start popping up. So my nice, dormant, evenly cut long grass starts getting these weeds that pop up.
Speaker 1:Now. So you're looking at September or October to for the pre emergent or Well, yeah, I just do it once a quarter.
Speaker 3:So although I'm behind right now, I just I should have done it in July. But with the heat I didn't do it because nothing was growing, no, not even the weeds were growing. So with the heat and the lack of rain, so I'm behind, so I need to do it now.
Speaker 1:It's mid-August. Yeah, it's getting toward the end of August. Oh, yeah, almost the end of August, so one more week left, yeah if I do it this weekend.
Speaker 3:So you're looking at the, you know, 90 days out from there. That's a contract to the end of November before I put down another pre-emergent. But then that November one will take me through the rest of the winter November, december, january. Oh, maybe I need to do it around February.
Speaker 1:So what do you? Do you look at the soil temperature at all for pre-emergent? Well are you doing it by the calendar?
Speaker 3:Well, pre-emergent. I do by the calendar. I just do every quarter, yeah, and I try to swap back and forth between dithiapyr and pro-diamine. Any brand will work. Somebody asked me today what brand Any brand will work, but you're looking for the chemicals and putting out the right amount. So, yeah, I do that by the calendar, not by the soil temperature, yeah. Yeah, now for fertilizing. I will wait for the forcithia to bloom. So I have a forcithia in the backyard, specifically because it starts blooming around the 58 degrees 56 somewhere in there, when the soil temperature start getting warm. Maybe it's a little bit warmer. I don't remember what the number is, but I know that when the forcithia starts blooming, it's time that the lawn is going to start waking up.
Speaker 3:So it blooms right before the lawn does. So that's why I? Have a forcithia in the backyard. Okay, it looks I don't take real good care of it, but it's just back. There is my canary.
Speaker 1:It's your indicator. Right, it is Time to fertilize.
Speaker 3:Yeah, if you're in a place that grows forcithia really well. It's an easy way to tell. It's good to know the soil temperature and you can get on the website. So there's websites that will tell you what the soil temperature is, or you can even buy the the soil temperature probes and do that. I had one before. We had that, we had a fire in the ground. Yeah, I lost a lot of stuff and that was one of the things I lost, so I haven't replaced it just because the forcithia is back there, and that's really all I needed was spring time coming out of dormant, coming out of dormancy, going into dormancy. No problem, you can just watch that happen.
Speaker 1:Right, I don't need to know the temperatures. Yeah, yeah, so I used to keep track of the soil temperature.
Speaker 3:Oh, did you do it with a thermometer?
Speaker 1:No, just on that, on the website. Oh yeah, yeah. So I would look online to see. And then whenever winter, late winter, early spring, you know, whenever the soil temperature was getting to a certain degree, I would go out and put my pre-emergent down. So try to catch it before the, you know, the weeds start germinating.
Speaker 3:That's a good way to do it, but I find that there's weeds that'll grow in any temperature. There's some type of weed. I don't know where they come from.
Speaker 1:Well, the thing is. I mean, if you do it by the calendar, you're not hurting anything and you're probably preventing a lot of weeds that you wouldn't otherwise. So I think that's probably a good method and that's yeah.
Speaker 3:I just use the temperature for when to start get the most out of my fertilizer. I guess, I mean not that. I guess if you put fertilizer down early it's not gonna be a huge deal Right.
Speaker 1:Just may not be as effective.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we usually have rainy springs here, so I want to make sure the grass is coming out of that dormancy before I'm putting down my fertilizer Right. When it just starts to come out of that dormancy is when.
Speaker 3:I like to put it down somewhere in there. There's usually a couple week gap, you know. There's also a few week gap where you can get If you're having a Dallas grass problem. Dallas grass comes out of dormancy before Bermuda. So I've had Dallas grass issues and there's about a week or two, probably two weeks, that the Dallas grass will come out of dormancy and you can spray it with Roundup.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, so you can kill the Dallas grass with Roundup without killing the Bermuda?
Speaker 3:Yeah, if you're gonna do that, be really careful, because you just try to get just the center of that clump and that has worked for me in the past and that's how I've gotten rid of most of the Dallas grass. I've still got a couple clumps that pop up here and there, but you got to be exact, you got to be. There's only a short window where. Dallas grass is live and the Bermuda's not live yet.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It's very short.
Speaker 1:So do you do any post-emergent, like if you see any winter weeds, or do you just let them go until?
Speaker 3:Depends on where they're at.
Speaker 1:They're in the middle of the front yard. Yeah, they're in the middle of the front yard.
Speaker 3:You know, to be honest, when it's cold out I don't get into all parts of my lawn that much when it's cold outside. So sometimes I don't know and I'm just as surprised to walk around a corner and oh you know the side's all taken over, but no, I have sprayed in the winter when it's gotten. If I've had a bad breakout of something, yeah, if I get a pre-emergent down, though it typically don't have a bad- breakout, yeah, the pre-emergent.
Speaker 1:I can't stress enough how much good that does.
Speaker 3:It really does.
Speaker 1:I skipped one application at my previous long and it was that I could not believe what a difference that was making.
Speaker 3:Yeah you forget when you've got it down and you're not getting any weeds. It's kind of like you know taking your medication, right, right, you take it and you're like oh, I don't even think I need this anymore, yeah you put it in.
Speaker 3:Like, oh God, I do need it. Same thing with the pre-emergent. I've done the same thing. I get a little lazy in the winter. I don't like going out in the winter and dragging all the stuff out and putting it down. It's really. It's easier to do that one time than to go out and spot spray all winter long.
Speaker 1:We're also talking about pest control and you might think that as the weather cools down, that the pests go away, but there are a lot of pests that come out at this time of the year.
Speaker 3:Yes, I had two coyotes in the backyard the other day. Speaking of that, yeah, they were not in my backyard, but just out past my back fence there's two of them out there. I suspect probably looking for water. I don't typically see them in the winter. What have you seen that start coming out in the winter?
Speaker 1:Well, in the late summer early fall there are grubs actually that come out. The grubs are usually the beetle. Larvae is what we call grubs around here. I guess that's everywhere. So you know we have those beetles we call June bugs around here. So you get those grubs early in the spring and then around late May, early June you get the adult June bugs. But you also get these other types of beetles larvae around this time of the year, around August and September.
Speaker 3:They'll eat up your roots on your grass, just like the other grubs, well, and then they invite in other stuff because there's lots of things that eat them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true, and that's one way you can tell if you have grubs. Is you know? Do you have something a skunk, or around here we get the armadillos a lot. Come in to eat the grubs.
Speaker 3:Both of those.
Speaker 1:And you can tell you know, because you'll have the brown spots, of course and then if it's really spongy or you can lift up the turf, you know they're eating the roots of the.
Speaker 3:And that's frustrating when you're in a dormancy cycle, because it's just going to be dirt until yeah it is. Yeah, you try to take care of that as quick as you can and once you notice it. I haven't had a whole lot of pest issues in the fall here since I've lived in this house.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And I can't think of anything in particular that I'm doing. I have a pest control company that comes once a quarter, yeah, and in fact they're out this week. As a matter of fact, they'll come out and spray the yard, but I haven't had any major issues, and it may just be because they're coming to spray in once a quarter, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that helps a lot. You know, if you get that study application, whether you're doing it yourself or whether you hire a company, as long as you're staying on top of it, it helps a lot. Yeah, that's our pest control. I just switch companies, because they come out and spray the yard once a month and then they come do the whole house inside and out once a quarter, so, and you can get army worms this late in the year too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've never got them, have you.
Speaker 1:No, never. But that's one thing. Even whenever I was doing the pest control myself, the army worm stories scared me enough that I I stayed on top of the pest control, sometimes even better than I did Fertilizing or watering or the other stuff?
Speaker 3:How do you know if you have army worms?
Speaker 1:Tips of the grass Blades will become transparent. You'll get big brown spots in the middle of your yard, you know, in different areas with green around it, and then some spots will you know. They'll eat everything. It'll be completely bare. So you may have seen pictures of people that go away for a couple days and come back and there's a huge dirt spot right in the middle of their yard where the army worms had taken over, and you can also do that soapy water test. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1:So if you think you have army worms, you know you can mix some dish soap and water, pour it into the lawn and it makes them come up to the service and then you can actually see them.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, that's a good test. Then you said that same test for something else too before right. Was that for grubs?
Speaker 1:I think it was for army worms. It was for army worms.
Speaker 3:I've never tried it, I just haven't had the problem.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I haven't tried it either.
Speaker 3:It's not one of the issues I've had to try to figure out how to fix.
Speaker 1:Well, I actually saw someone, and this has been probably a year or two ago someone on the on our Facebook group actually, you know, didn't believe it that that really worked and tried it and showed the picture.
Speaker 3:Show the results. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I never actually did. It brings them to the surface for some reason.
Speaker 3:I'm not even sure what they look like. I want to look them up here. Have you seen them?
Speaker 1:I haven't seen them in person. I've seen pictures of them on our Facebook group. You know where people are, like you know, look, oh, yeah and then Okay, I know exactly what they are. I just didn't realize.
Speaker 3:That's what the army worm was. That's a fishing worm where I'm from. Yeah, you could fish with those, couldn't you I?
Speaker 1:don't see one on yeah. So they I mean, they're really just like caterpillars, right? Yeah, they really are.
Speaker 3:So we got some shout outs this week. You have, let's see, you have Justin Kornek I apologize, justin, if I'm not saying that right Taking hand watering to a whole new level. One and a half inch fire hose from a Harbor Freight, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so if you read into the comments on that, he's actually hooked it up to a well.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's why he's been so much. Yeah, yeah so yeah. That looks like fun though.
Speaker 1:Yeah it does. That would be so much fun it would. Yeah, I don't guess it would work for us, you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, the city water yeah.
Speaker 1:The city water, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:And that's a great picture, though it looks like your lawn's doing great it looks like you got a golf green there. With your rough out on the edges up by the road, looks really good, justin.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 3:And then you also got.
Speaker 1:Chris Edmiston sorry if I butchered that name too says oh, atlanta, you want to get up to 108 degrees this week. Jokes on you. I have a one month old who runs the sleep schedule. I have nothing but time to dominate at the butt crack of Jesus. And before Dallas chirps in about these 100 degree plus temps, it's not our fault. You're living in Dante's seventh level of hell this season. So that's true. I mean we're filling it down here in South Texas too. You know we're not getting the 110s and 112s like they are up there, but it's a little more humid down here too.
Speaker 3:But his lawn looks awesome for those it does, especially with those trees in the back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, beautiful, yeah, your lawn looks great, yeah, especially with that I mean those bad spots in my yard. I'm blaming on the heat and after looking at that I can't really do it Well, they get a lot more water and rain. They've had a lot of rain this year, yeah.
Speaker 3:So it looks great.
Speaker 4:Chris.
Speaker 3:That's a great job you're doing there. I like that. You got your mower and part of that picture there is a. Which one is that? Is that the McLean? I think that's the McLean. It's nice, nice mower.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3:Well, good job, and I appreciate you both, Chris and Justin. Being active members of their group Helps a lot. We got a great community. A lot of people are willing to help each other out and you guys are part of that. Appreciate it. So let's recap a little bit about what we talked about. So, as we wind down this summer even though it may not feel like it yet in some places, but you're gonna keep doing the same things in your lawn Mow, water, fertilize and weed. It shifts a little bit as the temperature's cool, If you start getting more water, as we do in South Texas, or as the weather changes in general, but you're still gonna do the main four tenants. So mowing. You might start raising up your mower a little bit, letting the grass go a little bit taller Water Just for aesthetics.
Speaker 3:Yeah, just for aesthetics, I mean totally up to you user's choice. Whatever you feel like looks good. And then watering you're probably gonna start backing that down a little bit, not a whole lot, but just I don't know that you need an inch and a half when the weather's not quite as warm. Probably an inch, an inch to an inch and a half is kind of the range right For a week. So start backing that down as the temperature's come down. Fertilize Start backing off your fertilizing as you reach the end of the summer, depending on where your dormancy time is. When your lawn starts going into dormancy Sometimes around here it's usually November. So start backing off in October on my fertilize and then weeding. Make sure you get that pre-emergent down. Avoid the winter weeds, otherwise you'll have a nice dormant lawn with some splotches of green in it from the A big green.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there's definitely some winter weeds.
Speaker 3:It depends on where you're at in the country. I'd be curious to know what other people get. In other parts of the country we get. There's quite a few winter weeds that pop up around here.
Speaker 1:When? If you were gonna overseed with rye Well, that's a great point when would you do that?
Speaker 3:Yeah. So if you're gonna overseed with rye, it's right as the lawn starts going into dormancy, right? I believe that's when I've never done it, so I need to look that up. I think it's you want it to still be warm enough for the seeds to germinate. Now, if you're gonna do that that's another point If you're gonna do that, don't put a pre-emergent down, cause then your rye is never gonna come up and I think I've decided not to do it. I was debating whether I was gonna do it or not. Just cause the robot lawn more. I thought it might be nice to have the nice green lawn, but I still want the rye. You can get a water that rye, but if you're gonna do that, make sure you skip the pre-emergent.
Speaker 1:And just continue with the other, with the four tenants. Still, you know you're still gonna use your, your post emergence.
Speaker 3:You're still gonna have to mow yeah every week and I don't know that you have to really fertilize rye a whole lot For that winter. I mean, a little bit of fertilizer probably go a long way with the winter rye, but it's just gonna die out in the summer anyway. Yeah, so I wouldn't. I don't know.
Speaker 3:I've never grown it, so I'm just Guessing at some of the stuff. So I'm not sure. So, as we draw down on the summer and we're not out in the lot as much and it's still early, but I Think the podcast will probably go down to monthly. Is that what we're talking?
Speaker 1:about? Yeah, I think monthly.
Speaker 3:Yeah, probably monthly through the winter months. We'll do one a month because there's still some things to talk about in the winter and things that come up To set yourself up for the spring. Yeah, and then once spring starts getting closer, we'll start picking back up again.
Speaker 1:Yeah, start going back up. Yeah, it's gonna be a spring is gonna be an exciting time for me. I have a brand new lawn.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna have to get it leveled this spring in are you gonna do it or have it? Done. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. My plan is for me to do it right now.
Speaker 3:Yeah yeah, I don't know if there's anybody around here that does it anyway. Yeah, so I'm not sure. But, in the spring the roll-up. You know they've started selling in the state so this coming spring I think they'll have several shipments State side. So it'll be nice to see those moors going out and seeing what people think of those.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm excited to. Yeah, they look really good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, in Tyler out in Alabama he got to use one and he really enjoyed using that. So I like the chopper style handles on that thing too.
Speaker 3:So it looks really nice. I've heard a lot of great things. I haven't got to use one myself yet, but I'm looking forward to that this spring, being able to maybe get to use one myself and try it out.
