  1. Let's see if next Monday's system holds together, would really dent the drought situation.
  2. 85% isn't 100.... so there's a big of wiggle room in there for natural causes.
  3. That's a wrap. Just to compare, May 2022 had over 10,000 lighting strikes.
  4. August 2022 I actually had 17,000!
  5. I haven't detected a lightning strike in 17 days. Here's May 2022 versus May 2023 for severe weather. This has a 30 mile radius of detection.
  6. I don't water or fertilize mine, I just burn about a gallon of gas every 7 to 10 days mowing it. Grass is primarily a uniform erosion control, which native grass would accomplish. Cutting your lawn does work as a rodent and pest barrier for the home, so that's one unmentioned perk.
  7. I don't need sunglasses.... saves on eye strain.
  8. It's a giant waste of time for myself, but it keeps old men busy.
  9. This smoke overhead absolutely sucks. It has an September vibe.
  10. I read "ca" and thought that was California, kind of a weird abbreviation when California is synonymous with forest fires.
  11. My weather station recorded it's highest UV rating back in early May..... smoke has kept the higher sun angle from registering a higher reading since then.
  12. At least we know it has nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with arson. We just had one of the wettest seasons on record and just like that.... FIRE CITY!
  13. Everyone knows that 85F weather spontaneously ignites fires.
  14. Damn, arsonists getting an early jump on the intentionally set forest fire season eh?
  15. Summer storm activity in Michigan has really declined over the last 15 years or more.
  16. I might be wrong, but I believe they spray this down and then spread the fine gravel over it. They rarely ever do this here.
  17. I have had a sore ass about this subject for years. Had to weigh in.
  18. I noticed that Ohio & Indiana use a asphalt/gravel road composition for some rural roads. This road type you just don't see used in Michigan. We seem to be left with dirt. This is a typical Ohio rural road situation. You can see where the more privative low traffic asphalt meets a different texture/higher traffic asphalt mix. In Michigan the roadway on the right would be asphalt and a skirt would extend about 20 feet onto the left roadway, then it would transition to dirt.
  19. Been down a few Fenton area dirt roads.
  20. I totally hate dirt roads. Spent 16 years on one..... never again.
