64 right now, high of 77 predicted. Looks like we're in for a couple days of rain.

Got part of the lawn mowed yesterday. I always mow in sections...normally on two successive days (this doesn't include the field). The biggest drag is there are a lot of clippings left. I've tried mowing faster and slower...doesn't help. Anyway, there's a tow behind lawn sweeper in the shed. I think I'll try that out. Never used one before...

Roy,
presumptuous of me to suggest to someone who has serious seat time mowing, but would mowing a notch higher help?

Heavy overcast this morning, doing nothing today but hanging out!
On it is 69 degrees and heading up toward the high 70's

Gorgeous! Any fish in there?

Good morning! 80˚ getting to 105˚ today. Dry and dusty. The dust is said to be from Africa and makes everything hazy.

txdon; With yesterday's southern winds, I believe your dirt is up here now, and my place is in Oklahoma, probably near 2LaneCruzer!

72 now and calling for mid 80's, we'll see, it's been cool for a few days.

Anyone else notice that the grass is starting to slow down? It's still thick and and all that, but it's not shooting up even after heavy rain like it was 3-4 weeks ago. That usually doesn't start here for another 2-3 weeks from now. Also the robins are starting to clutch(bunch up), and I've seen a few smaller traveling flocks of blackbirds, that's not unusual at this time of summer, though.
My picture isn't as pretty as Wayne's but ...

Nice, toppop! Only thing growing around here in pastures is the grasshoppers. :thumbdown:

I'm not sure...something I can try. The RFM manual suggests the travel speed is too high, but that's not necessarily the problem.

Yep a few small mouth bass, walleye, and northern pike
