@BaronDestructo Wish we could have had a continuation to this story, all those years later to see the process compete and meet the gadmeer.

Loved the shots of the terraforming process...

Stargate: SG-1 concept art - "Scorched Earth" On the Enkarans' new home, SG-1 discovers a giant spaceship is threatening the colonists as it terraforms the planet. The first script we ever wrote for Stargate, the one that landed us our staff position, was produced as the fourth season’s ninth episode.  Before my writing partner, Paul Mullie, eventually came up with the Scorched Earth title, I was simply referring to the script as “Whose Planet Is It Anyway?”.   The onscreen version of this episode differed in several respects from the early script, the biggest difference being the ending.  In the original version, Daniel convinces Lotan to make a difficult decision and the caretaker does, destroying his ship and the building blocks of an entire race, leaving the planet to the Enkarans.  In the episode’s final scene, Daniel sits alone in his quarters, listening to Lotan’s parting gift: the music of a now extinct race.  The ending was changed to allow for a compromise that led to a happier resolution for all.  While I didn’t mind the shift to a more positive conclusion to the story, I still regret that the solution to the issue seemed, in hindsight, somewhat convenient and obvious.

@MinikahdaTurf @plkoch2 Agreed, input anything to keep those dry winter winds off the turf is something

@plkoch2 We finally have some snow cover. It’s not much but makes me feel better than being bare.

With 'normal' winter temps and no snow the soil temps across the western Great Lakes have plummeted the past few weeks. Still plenty of winter left, but very low chance of snow mold at this point. Given the forecast I'm more worried about desiccation greencastonline.com/tools/soil-tem…

@SpaceX So cool, can't wait to watch the first atrempt

SpaceX engineers have spent years preparing and months testing for the booster catch attempt on Flight 5, with technicians pouring tens of thousands of hours into building the infrastructure to maximize our chances for success

@GriffithsJayson Dang wish my range looked that flawless, we get so much use it never looks that spotless of divots

After 25 yrs of marriage, Jennifer still enjoys helping out the night before Member Guest…a family affair, washing flags and setting the range…see you at 4:15am ⏰

@purdueturfy That stencil on the green is cool, I am assuming you either used dye or fertilizer to accomplish that. What did you use and what were the rates you used. Would love to try this for our end of the year tournaments

Course is primed & ready for an awesome Member Guest. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 to the crew. Proud of the Turf Squad!!! #golfcourselife #ouroffice

@AdamLesmeister Watched that little bit last night, she got called for an offensive foul on that nice illegal pick

I don’t/didn’t care who advanced it that game. But if you’re telling me this isn’t an illegal pick, at the end, middle or beginning of the game; you’re getting paid to make wrong takes just to create buzz. That’s the only way you think this shouldn’t be a foul.

@KunkelKurtTurf Starting to do some of the tomorrow as well

Early ground thaw here in Minnesota has given us the chance to get some much needed irrigation head leveling done.

@mike_Iaconelli @flambeauout That is a nice stack of hats in front of an epic bait wall

Folks at home! This week's Manic Hat Monday is brought to you by @flambeauout !! Like their page, comment below and you have a chance to have a SIGNED HAT and an Ike Flambeau Backpack!  ***Beware of scammers! We NEVER ask you to click a link or for a credit card!!***

@ECCSuper77 @Syngenta You will enjoy it and learn a lot. It is a great networking opportunity to meet people from all around the country. I was able to attend unfortunately during the COVID days of zoom so I missed out on the in person networking but I still learned a lot and met many great peolple

I extremely humbled to announce that I was selected to join an elite group of superintendents at this year’s @Syngenta Business Institute. I’m looking forward to meeting the other 24 folks that will make up the 2023 class. It’s a true honor to be representing ECC!

@razobe01 That was my plan as well

Test run with verticut unit as we get ready to verticut tees and fairways next week.

@WsRiedel Is that just twisted together with a ton of electrical tape?

I've seen it all... Not even a wire nut on this one. In 3 years I've fixed about 100 of these. On the bright side the 10th green will finally run from the controller! #NiceWork

@BrianDaigneau I agree

Never a dull moment!

First mow and cup cutting ahead of the opening today. Bring on the golfers.

@CBraunEM That is so awesome. I know you have definitely helped me through the years with both your posts and phone conversations. Congratulations

I joined #turftwitter back in ‘09 to follow a mentor because he tweeted content I could learn from & that’s what it still is for me today. It’s pretty cool to be a part of an industry with so many professionals willing to share their passion & experience with their peers. ⛳️

The rain held off long enough today to follow the last groups of the season to start getting sand and tarps down.

@jcameron88 Looks like some new irrigation, and tee construction going on

@JustinPZimm Almost

@CMichaelson13 Almost as good as when you turn it on AND there is NO leaks!

If ya know you know
