Going to spray weed killer today. I have one of the backpack sprayers but got smart last year and got one for the ATV. I use that for all the ditches up and down the driveway and the ATV trails.

Headed back to NJ tomorrow for the weekend and I will see what other treasures I find in my FIL”s garage.

I got thinking yesterday about what Mopar engines I've owned. 273,318, 340, 361,and 383. No slant's and no 440's or big wedges. Oh and a 241 Hemi. That's the only one that didn't run.
 
Let's see, flip of the coin. Do I service the Swinger or the 66 today? The 66 gets a couple sets of fresh points (thanks Hoppy) and adjust the valves as well as a LOF.

I should pull the distributor out of the Swinger as well. I have a "too light" advance spring in there and it pings pretty easy. I plugged the vac advance which helped.

@Ben Drinkin is the guru on this stuff, what he did.

I'm not sure about the guru part... Your Credit 41 is a glyphosate (like RoundUp). Different brands have different surfactants loaded in them, makes it stick to the leaves better. That's why some seem to work better than others. It is non-selective so it will kill most anything that has not developed resistance.

Mike's 2,4-D shouldn't kill most grasses, stunt it a little. Stuff kills most broadleaf plants. Once the grass comes out of dormancy I use the 2,4-D to spot spray as needed.


Crabgrass is a whole different animal. Need to kill it with RoundUp early in the spring and get some pre-emergent down. My preference is a product called Prowl H2O. It is some nasty yellow stuff. Mix in some blue spray dye and 'paint' your lawn green in the spring. Seems to keep my lawn fairly weed free.

I need to study up. Round up doesn't have carry over correct? How long before you can reseed?

Which are you bringing to MITP? I would do that one first. Then you are set for the trip.

Are you bringing Lacey?

It is the plan, depending on the weather. If a bad day, then likely will trailer, bad weather weekend, then wont bring it at all. The Charger isn't ready, hopefully next year, so it is the only option.
 
I do have fenders that will be meeting me there, so I hope one of the two trucks that will be there have room to bring them for me.
