gravitylover Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I was hoping it was done, but no... It's been a thick, heavy mist for a while now and it looks like another slug of rain incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxEngine Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 This is easily the greenest my front lawn has been in years. Its usually burnt out by the end of july and i can usually go weeks without mowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, no lazy days of summer break from mowing this year, especially with what looks like another wet week coming up. At least today is decent for the NY Air Show here but tomorrow is iffy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a favorite song came on the radio and I started cranking it, windows down, lost in the song if you will and as I got to the bottom of the hill here in the park they buzzed the park completely drowning out my blasting music and quite honestly startled the shit out of me. If I had a cup of coffee I would've spilled some on my shirt and I would've wanted some butts! (Top Gun reference). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god it didn’t take out the line or the roof. I’m on the south side of the cell. Not much wind, a lot of thunder with the CTG lightning. Good moderate rain currently.

There wasn’t a lot of wind in general except for two brief periods when I was under the worst of it. The gust was to 25 mph, which is decent for here with all the trees, .71” thru the tipper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
