Good afternoon and evening all. 68ºF for the start, trace rain in the gauge, overcast, light breeze. 2 periods of rain that were forecast did not occur. Light wind, some breakup of clouds occurred, and high temp was 87ºF, HI 95ºF. Slept through alarm for an hour missed setup portion of chapel. In the process of getting ready for chapel found wallet had fallen out of shorts. One of the breakfast guys bought my breakfast, found wallet hiding in chair. Office work, then lunch, nap, start in on tractor posting. Went over to Stepdaughter's, she lost a foster dog they were trying to nurse back to health, and pick up temp MP3 holder she made. will take a break then do more posting.
Resuming Thursday 8/28 12:04 PM post 210,701:
Ton(eng) thanks for the link.
Mike I mow as high as mower allows most of the year, about 3 1/2 inches. I read somewhere the taller the grass the deeper the roots go, which helps the grass during drier times.
RS hope you got some rain. Glad your watering is keeping the garden going. The mildew looks like you dusted the plants with white powder. I always though clear snot from allergies. Hope you kick crud soon took me weeks.
Dennis Thanks for info on Visible. Good to hear you wife's phone is working again. Hope Chipotle was good.
Dftodd thanks for coyote story.
Dftodd about the same here on mowing height except mower does go to 4 inch.
Dennis good to hear ranger back operation. Had no run experience with 2 stoke motors with spark plugs that looked good, rarely with 4 strokes.
Thomas glad you survived busy day at work. Glad cubs decided to leave rather than incur further wrath of Mrs. Grilled cheeseburgers sound good.
Frits thanks for link, interesting only 3 gears.
Lou thanks for info on Mint.
Billy plenty of hiking to do

Randy(wag) glad toes are happy. I would suspect the wine fairies hard at work.

Drinking hot cup of coffee. 46° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 77° with a few clouds. Did not get at Hornet nest yesterday. Got back field grass cut . Cleaned up garden pond. Started cleanup of bird feeders. Birds are not happy that feeders are empty. Going to try and make today a Labor Free day.
Squirrels are already collecting for the coming winter.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Frac sand. Use it in the oil patch for fracturing oil and gas wells.

Ah, the depth of knowledge of the TBN brain reserves is limitless!
Thanks L4n!

good morning all
Welcome to September
52 out now going up to high 70s in continued dry weather

Mostly, really glad you found your wallet.
Ron, that's a big nut

I'm going to be an outlier on the lawn height issue. I like it short. Loved my golf course lawn in NC but that was Southern grass.
But here, cutting at 2.5 inches I have a lawn that is just an enormous patch of various weeds. Makes sense a longer cut means
more green material to plant and more plant energy. I just don't like the way it looks...
one thing is for sure, it will sure grow back and higher. Living next to woods, all kinds of invasive plants come creeping out.
Am trying not to use any weed killer; if I did I think I'd lose half the lawn.
Good thing I enjoy mowing grass since I've had to do it twice a week up until this dry spell.

I live in a community up on the banks of the Delaware River and all the chemicals from our lawns winds up sooner or later
down the hill into the River. Those chemicals and fertilizer create problems all the way down to the ocean, create algae issues in Chesapeake Bay,
just not a good thing. If land was flat with no runoff, I'd be less concerned. Some of you use an enormous amount of weed killer on your property.
As long as it stays put, makes sense.
Really don't want my personal legacy to be adding to the forever chemicals of the area and putting too much in local landfill.

which reminds me, need to get my 5 gallon waste oil can back from local garage. Will go get gas there and retrieve my can.
don't have as much use for it any more, so much has gone to cordless.
Think of all the motor oil saved on those nice EGO zero turns you guys are buying.

Good Morning from Central Texas,
At 5am, (weather station still down) have fog so temp/dew point the same. Nasty feeling out there.
Morning run to get mower gas and stop by the Legion for coffee if anyone else shows up. To me, just another Monday ! No where I want to go in this heat and crowds.
Hope all enjoy Labor Day.

Mostly, it is early for furnace startup. With overnights lows in the 40’s and high in the 60’s it takes about 4 days and temperatures in house are below 70°. At my age sitting in my Laz-Boy is no longer comfortable. Even with a heavy sweater and sweatpants on. Years ago I can remember not turning furnace on until November.
Yesterday I was able to open door to front porch and living room. It was 80° in there. Because sun is shining in. Front was designed as a Solar Room. But we do not get enough sun in winter to make it work properly. After opening door temperature in living room slowly raised to 75°. My favorite relaxing temperature.
