A meager .06" since last Thursday, but still hoping to get a good soaking before the frontal passage.

That sounds awesome! I went with my then wife and we really enjoyed it. She is a pharmaceutical rep and that was one of the many bonus trips that we went on as a result of her job. Falling Waters is pretty awesome, and though I don’t recall the details, I was left with a great impression of the whole area.

Yeah, but it was a long time ago. You going?

Picked up .52" this evening and 1.06" in the past 24 hours, so no complaints here! Still waiting for the pumpkins and gourds to germinate, but today helped a lot.

It looked like I was going to get split about 15 minutes ago, but now the line looks much improved.

I'm going to use the weenie code book and say since yesterday's "90%" rains missed us to the east, then tomorrow night and Thursday's projection of the 95 corridor getting whiffed while NPZ-land gets the goods will be wrong. It'll all shift east again and we will overachieve this one.

0.62" in the Ville. Nice for the garden and yard.

Got this email that made me think of losetoa6. The best dad bod contest is a bonus. I was really thinking of the classic car show.

Ha! I'd never put good beer out for slugs! Natty boh or nothing for them!

I did a little more searching and this bottle trap claims to be far more effective. Also watch the embedded video. That's a hardcore gardener there! https://www.earth-ways.co.uk/resources/slugs/

Moving from the obs thread.

Try a frisbee with some beer set in the ground. They love it and drown.

Just my opinion, but you can spray weed killer now on any warm, calm day. I'd use a one or two gallon tank sprayer and the concentrated Ortho Weed-b-gon that you have to mix yourself. Just be sure to get the stuff that is safe for lawns and does not say "weed and grass killer." Creeping Charlie is pretty stubborn and will probably take a couple of applications, but you can get rid of it. Aerating (if possible) and seeding around Labor Day is perfect for this area. If you get plenty of sun, I'd go with a tall fescue.

You also get a lot of root growth throughout the winter which is probably the most important thing for new grass in our summers.

47 and clear. Perfect morning.
