One goose a fastball, two gooses a breaking ball?

Yeah, they're just south of me this go around. I can see the dark sky's to my south.

Just came from that area, looks like some more ramping up coming into the area.

I've had to do that a couple times when the water heater died, it shocked my body.

I've only done two mows but the second one was like cutting a hayfield, every time I had time to do it it either rained or something else came up. My lawn's a little browned now too.

My brother painted his shed today, it does dry much quicker at 80 with low humidity but he hates heat too. We're French Canadien so we don't mind the cool-cold weather, must be in our blood.

It was a great day to work outside, took me a while to work up a sweat.

When my father was a kid, they used to catch them and there was a guy in town where you dropped the turtle off in a box and come back the next day and he had it cut up for turtle soup, he said it was a treat back when he was a kid, course he grew up during the depression, so they probably didn't have much.

Back about 10 years ago my two labs were outside barking and wouldn't stop, I went out and found them barking at a turtle about that size in my driveway, I'm a mile away from the nearest pond so have no idea what it was doing in my yard. I tossed into the back of my truck and dropped it off at the pond, a mile away.

They're gonna try like hell to get tonight's game in

Heard they were covering the field at Fenway

I read a story the other day about a bear that somehow got into someone's car parked at their house and the bear got locked in. They ended up tying a rope to the handle and were about 50 feet away and yanked the door open, the bear ran into the wood but had beat the living crap out of the car trying to get out. Those Nevada bears must be clever, he got in the car with the doors closed and somehow manages to close the door while in the car. Looked like a brown bear running away.

Give it time, I don't have any yet either but it loves hot and humid.

I think Dendy nailed it, never heard of them before, I like the pickled fiddleheads. Osmunda cinnamomea (Cinnamon fern) | Native Plants of North America (wildflower.org)

When I was a kid we'd play ball in the middle of a forest fire, kids today, huh

When that happens to me I'll put $20 in and fill up when I get back home. I always found your area to be cheaper for gas, not sure why Springfield sells it cheaper but when I worked out there, I'd fill up before I came home.

Did you try Seresto, I swear by it, in 5 years no flea problems and there have only been two ticks on my dog in that time and they were dead when I took them off.

Bad news was on the 6th hole and it down poured and with the wind I got soaked. Good news, we won the match anyway. Didn't even have time to get my raincoat out it came so suddenly, I just got the bag cover down in time so my bag didn't get soaked.

There's a golf course in Oakham MA that has tons of bird houses throughout the course, they even use bird houses as yard markers. I saw so many different birds when I played 18 there last summer I had to get my bird book out to see what they were.

HRRR looks good for storms about 5-7 here, may interrupt my golf match.

I've only had one day working in the yard where they bothered me, last few times nothing except for a few wasps.

If they still have piles this year after the winter we had wonder what it's like on a good year, like 2015, snow til June?

The cat jumped on the bed and my wife found three crawling on the bed, she got them before they found her as they surely would have. I'm going to have to stay on top of pesticide this year if the ticks are going to be bad, the winter did us no favors in the department. How do you treat your dog? I've been using the Seresto collar with great success last few years.

We need a before picture before we congratulate you on your lawn growing skills. Looks really good now though.

Just pulled the first tick of the year off my leg, must have just got there, it wasn't attached yet. I sprayed around the perimeter of the house yesterday with Demon and treated the lawn with the Bayer product. Also got a new Seresto collar for the dog, still I got one.
