    Red delicious Apple tree problem?

    I replaced a golden apple tree as I have a neighbor close by with a diseased cedar tree, this caused the Golden apple to have a disease called cedar apple rust. Now my Red delicious apple tree, it has been producing apples 2-3 seasons now. I few of the apples are eatable or last season they were. This season I noticed the same problem the apples are too far from perfect, some discoloration and rot. Many of the new limbs growing the very ends 6 to 7 inches will die to grow new ones. Tree is getting plenty of water. Only other problem is the ground does not freeze here in w.tenn. It began to lean at 12 degrees and I straighten the tree out and have it braced straight up and down. A few of the roots at the base are showing and need to be covered with top soil. Any opinions or solutions to the problem will be welcomed.

In western tennessee, grapes growing in full sun afternoons, plenty of water.

  • Semi Truck owner operators?

    I retired from Class A {company driver} last year after 14 years. A business friend asks me, He wants to know if he buys a semi truck can he rent out the truck. I knew alittle about this as maybe he could and pay the a driver 40 cents a mile and make a profit. I could have tried to talk him out of this. The only thing I have ever heard simular is a owner operator buying 2-3 trucks and hiring drivers while working for a company. a small fleet.

    I know of the job boards where owner operators finds freight. I know very little believing these owner operators are leased to a particular company.

    My friend is willing to learn yet could what I described be profitable?

After paying the deductable $500, geico tells me a third party must be used to get the other insurance company to accept the at fault and pay up. And geico has been telling me this for 2-3 months.

  • Ulcerous foot infection?

    I am asking those who had a ulcerous foot infection to perhaps give me some insight on the last part. My foot infection surfaced last mid oct on my right foot where its 1/2 wider than the left foot. Right on the widest place towards the side below the little toe.

    I"ve had 2 vascular surgeries, both times the surgeon told me I cant get below the knee cap with the wire during surgery. Man when I hear the word amputation. I sought out a second opinion. During the 3rd surgery the surgeon told me he knew he didnt have the correct tool to get past the knee cap and unblock the blocked arteries going to my foot. Finally the 4 th surgery unblocked the arteries.

    Now in mid feb 4 months later I am seeing a plastic surgeon. Last visit he said come back in another week. I am presently waiting for surgery to remove the black scabby part and replace it with new skin. The entire ordeal is very painful, I cant work and watching tv most of the day and night well its better than sitting in the hospital the entire time. My question is after they replace the old with the new skin how long does the take to heal and get to where I can walk again normally?

  • Exactly how do I collect Unemployment benefits?

    I havent collected unemployment since 1986. Am a regional trucker and a landlord. In a few days my employer will terminate me as I am phycically unable to perform my job, they gave me 4 months of leave and the health issue I have is a foot infection. The infection I could have lost all or part of my right leg, am on the last part of recouperating. Maybe mid febuary I will be able to function with 2 legs.

    I was told by my doctor to collect unemployment. What will the government require me to do to make them happy about me finding looking for work nowdays? I think they want proof of me looking for work in any workplace, only I have no inclination of working I just need to collect till I heal up at the latest march. And I will be back on the road driving professional I have 15 years exp. Do I tell unemployment personal about my health condition? I dont believe telling unemployment about my rental property is a good idea.

  • 06 Prius wrecked, how do you get the body shop to replace the quarter?

    I own a one owner 06 Prius. I've held class A license since 1997. When I drive I dont make contact with anything. I was driving in the right lane on a undivided 4 lane road and went through an intersection, speed limit 35 mph. Next I noticed a 95 camaro z28 become discontent with the progress of the left lane, next the camaro changed lanes into my blind spot making contact with my prius. I pulled over as did 2 other cars the camaro and a maxima which struck the curb instead of the camaro. Called the police out. They gave the driver of the camaro a ticket improper lane change. My car insurance card being expired. I got a ticket for this. The woman driving the maxima was my witness as she told the police what actually happened.

    I go the police station to get a copy of the accident report and call progressive insurance as the driver of the camaro presented this insurance company at the time of the accident. Turns out progressive cancelled the insurance policy for non payment back in sept. I have uninsured motorists insurance with geico, next progressive wouldnt release a denial letter to geico for 10 days so that I might get my prius repaired. My prius the damage starts at the driver door, the passenger door is caved in and the quarter panel in front of the tire is bent, yet when you open the passenger door you see major damaged to the tracks where the door meet down at the bottom. This makes me mad. How do I get the adjuster to replace the whole quarter panel? when hey its an adjustment a claim where you usually take what you can get?

  • Need advise from a professional painter?

    I had my house painted a few years ago, only to notice before the painters waranty of a year the paint began to peel. Yes its still peeling from the siding of pressed wood. Painted with porter paint. About 20 percent peeled in places slowly and is really noticeable when it rains you can see the humidity underneath and paint separating.

    In no way could a person scrap off the entire paint job. I touch it up occasionally. How and why did this happen? The only solution I am able to think of is to take a pressure washer to it and next repaint with a different kind of paint. I would value your opinion alot thank you.
