    Hope so. I never do yard work (even though it's in my blood).....but we got these bamboo late summer. It was actually really relaxing during all this bullshit to go our there and watch the sun go down and water these things. Cool to see them multiply and grow. I was told they go nuts in the spring, so I was really looking forward to seeing them takeoff. Hope they survive.

    That whole corner of the back yard used to be completely surrounded by huge 6o foot trees in our neighbors yards. Then they died and had to be cut down. I came home from a work road trip and was totally shocked when our once secluded backyard was completely ruined. Thought these would help.

    I'm no horticulturalist..but I think bamboo grow and spread pretty quick so hopefully you'll get some of that privacy back soon..been thinking about getting something for my yard to block the view more than the fence

    My cars back window is shattered.

    At work.

    Can't tape anything up cause its all ice and nothing sticks.

    Don't have money for a tow truck.

    Power is out. Trees falling everywhere. Power lines down everywhere.

    So if you're sad or mad that nothing eventful happened. Be fucking happy. I am most likely out hundreds of dollars even with insurance because of the fucking deductible.

    Whatever you do research what bamboo species is to be planted. For instance, my neighbor two doors over thought that itwould be novel and planted the species that cannot be killed. The stalks had grown to over 30 feet high and since their roots grow horizontally, my bud next to them has had a battle for years. They survive in winter climates. It's so weird to see full plumage on them in 24 degree weather.

    usually driving in the tracks is not the best because that's where it melts and refreezes into ice. You will usually get better traction on fresh snow.

    Hardly any snow here in Oregon City, but plenty of ice. It was tough trying to sleep last night because of the noise from tree limbs in the big trees in our backyard cracking and dumping ice all night long. Good news is that the power is still on (so far) and no major damage to our place. A guy a street over had a big oak limb hit his house. Not sure how much damage that did.

    Greetings from the Marriot in downtown Portland. We lost power at 2am, PGE says it won't be back on until 3am on the 15th so I decided to burn some credit card points, lol.

    Very sly of you. Better than freezing your tail off.

    I could see the ice building on the power lines so I made the reservation a couple of hours before he lost power. Free cancellation so it was a good move.
