You guys nuts? leave the moss.Tried that but it didn't work.

I have learned to embrace my moss. I no longer stand on the sidewalk looking at my house with a mix of disgust and guilt. My neighbours like me better because I make them look so good. My life is so much better.Moss killer, wait a couple weeks, power rake, punch, top dress with coarse sand, lime every fall. Do this every year at work and lawns are beautiful. Best to power rake early spring and fall if possible.
There are many causes that contribute to moss including excessive shade, compacted soils, poorly drained soils, low soil fertility, high or low soil pH, and poor air circulation. Poor lawn care practices are another source of moss problems. Too much shade for grass growth is a common cause for moss invasion.
doesn’t grow as fast as grass and it’s nice and green. leads to more fishing time
Update: This batch is a mix from my farm - 2 Norway, 1 Red, and 1 Manitoba maple, okay not a farm but I have some trees in the back and one in the front.We had a couple decent days for gathering sap this week before the freeze comes. I have 9 litres of sap from 3 maples in the freezer and turned 14 litresView attachment 61535View attachment 61536 from the one box elder/manitoba maple into one jar of syrup today.
It was a test drive for a beginner. Tastes great, very sweet, but more like an Okanagan apple syrup than maple.
very cool. Hope you can review it soon as I do think I want one of those. Where did you buy it? Thanks
Been thinking on one of these myself. Would be nice to have along when moose or deer hunting. Always a lot of grouse when we are moose hunting but we don’t want to shoot while hunting for moose. I think one of these would fill that need, plenty enough power for grouse yet quite enough not to scare game.This ain't your granddaddy's BB gun!!
Umarex Synergis 22 900 fps. Fixed barrel, nitro piston, under barrel lever, and 10 round magazine

First notes:
Heavier than I expected. In fact pretty much the same as my 300 Weatherby.
Instructions appear easy.
Scope is OK, but will be replaced down the road.
Overall impression - seems well built and very robust.
Now to assemble it and learn how she operates.
Tomorrow or Thursday to shoot depending on the sky-water...
Cheers,

How much did you boil down from to get that?Update: This batch is a mix from my farm - 2 Norway, 1 Red, and 1 Manitoba maple, okay not a farm but I have some trees in the back and one in the front.
Here it is beside what's left of the first jar.
That's Cecil, my sourdough starter my wife named in the background.

Alrighty then, here is yesterday's range report:
Took a few measurements of the single group shot previously when it just arrived, and adjusted the scope so as to try and get them centered properly.
Then wandered out to a close gravel pit and got set up:
![]()
Only company was a couple of tossed mattresses to watch the show:
![]()
Ammo of choice (recommended for this rifle):
![]()
First group at 15 yards. Pretty close guess on the scope adjustments:
![]()
So, out to 25 yards:
![]()
A few tweaks to the scope, again at 25 yards:
![]()
Almost acceptable. But the next group shocked me:
![]()
And the next two were even more opened up?
If my crossbow did this, I would suspect a scope mount / bolt issue.
But a quick inspection suggested these were all fine.
Will look closer today.
Will also clean the hell out of it, and try again when the sky-water quits.
Other comments:
Rifle cocks easily.
Magazine functions well.
Two stage trigger is initially a little gritty - makes it a little effort to determine the wall.
Trigger does break clean with about 2.5 - 3 lbs.
Scope is only so - so, and will eventually need replacing.
Overall weight leans to the heavy side.
I suspect an issue with the scope or it's mounts. Going through it one thing at a time.
Ordered a sampler pack of various pellet weights today.
FAR from done tinkering with this one methinks, and pretty certain I will eventually get her dialed right in.

Barrel warming??
I think it was 24 litres.How much did you boil down from to get that?
