    With the removal of MSMA in Florida, anyone have a good plan of attack for this troublesome weed this season?

    I am 55 so I am considering "early retirement" as my plan of attack! When I was in my late 20's I remember a University PhD/consultant say he was going to retire when they remove Nemacur from the market. I have seen a significant reduction in TSG using Tribute. I am not sure why because you can tank mix what is in there and one AI does not claim any activity on TSG. (Actually I am not sure any of them do.)

    I hope everything is well with Lakewood Ranch. I nearly bought a house on the preserve there when I worked at The Longboat Key Club. It was at the end of a street, on the water in a very lovely spot.

    PS: Do you ever go to Linger Lodge out there by you? I loved that place, but I certainly understand those who don't. If you are not familiar check it out!

    This is what a colleague has been using with success.


    "15 gal sprayer. 4 oz revolver, 8 oz Raider, 4.5 oz sencor, 2.3 oz Blindside. It's hot. The raider prob isn't a must, as the sencor is already hot and the revolver kind of acts as a sticker also. "

    Brian,
    Give me a call, I may be able to recommend a mix depending on how much you need to treat. It is similar to what Andy mentioned

    Not giving it up Curtis, huh? (jk!) Good to see you in SW FL finally. Going to join SCGCSA?
    Crap, Andy! 4.5 oz Sencor? Flame on!

    Best,

    Wags,

    You missed a great meeting today at your buddy Maze's place. We had a great turnout and everybody had a great time. Hopefully you can make it up for the Envirotron in April.

    Yeah, Andy. Maze had invited me up, but too much going on right now. Maze always talks very highly of you. Would have liked to be there though. Might be making a run up to Wally World soon to celebrate a 20th year reunion with a certain group of anonomynous, shady characters. I just might try to make the Environtron this year, I think it just might be feasible. Maybe one of my peddler friends will invite me.
    Take care, brother.

    Wags, Andy was hoping you would make it to add to his winnings, or so that's what he was bragging about on Facebook.

    Mel-

    He would have succeded, no doubt in my mind. Hope you're doing well, brother.

    Wags,

    I guess I'll be seeing you in a few weeks. Bring your checkbook!

    Sorry for the hijack, Brian. Yes, Andy, I was informed of the arrangement today. All I can say is many, many strokes will be coming my way. Looking forward to the outing.
