You cut your's? I scraped mine off after using the weed burner on it. :lol:
Had to wait till dark because it was way too hot out to be that close to  the flame.
I know what's going to happen, the wife will want a huge lawn in the next couple of years and I'll be stuck mowing again. :glare:

LOL  They do make robotic mowers to cut the grass as you chill.  But you have to plan ahead so there will be no problems.  Then there is always Green cement and a gross of band-aids

I looked into them, they can't traverse my terrain, too steep.

With snow on the way, my RZR got sick, drive clutch went out. Be in the hospital for a whole week waiting on a transplant.
The bill will be over a grand, part is 6 hundred plus alone. I am looking at getting a new one, I want a bit more comfort and one where wee can take the dogs along.
So I'm considering this one with heat and air and ride command. :laugh:

Hmm... Don't they have a 4 Seater Side by Sides like that?  Need to keep the dogs dry and warm also.

They do, but it's slower, heavier and doesn't turn as sharply. I asked about the extra cab for the dogs and they told me everyone keeps the dogs in the back, because big dogs don't ride well in the back because the seats aren't deep enough.
The bed in back is deep and wide and I can get railing to protect them as well as stick a bed back there.
Only drawback, I'll have to trailer this one, my RZR fit in the back of my truck.

But I'm going to wait till Polaris opens back up, they only had one left and I want  more factory installed items. Polaris closed manufacturing because of Commie flu.

How is thing down your way Solar.  We been in the mid 60 all this week and starting Monday we will be back up into the 80's.  The first cutting of alfalfa is cut and bailed.  I am back cutting the lawn two times a week now. :lol:   All the roses are coming on big time this year.

About the same here. We just had a series of storms that brought a lot of heavy rains. Yesterday and today were 60, but it felt like 80 with all the humidity. :glare:
As the week goes on it will warm slightly as the humidity decreases and the forest dries out.

Had Snow on the Dogwoods, which means that was the last storm of the year and we go into summer from here on out. Not ready for the heat which will be blasting in a couple of weeks.
But at least the rains are done and that's a good thing.

Now I have a shitload of cleanup, especially the creeks, we lost a lot of trees, and they all seemed to aim for the water. :laugh:

Well they say we had between 80 and 90 mph winds last night.  Don't know as our power went out when the winds hit 45 mph.  First time power was out for 4 hrs. then on for 2 hrs. then off for 3 more hrs. 

What I can say we have 5 tress down and 3 hit the house.  The only damage to the house I can see is to the rain gutters on the house.  There is one yet to come down as it is hung up in a tree that is standing yet.

This is what the trees look like.  There for wind blockers.

Well tress mess cleaned up and set aside to be burned this Winter when it is safe.

Tuesday the 23ed we hit 103 in the shade.  First day for 100 and over, so it's that time a year that we will see 100 + off and on for the next 2 + months.   Along with that comes the 20 + MPH winds off and on.   Over 20 MPH is not good for a person may age.   :lol:

Ugghhh... The Valley is hitting 100, I'm in the low 90s, but what makes it so miserable is all the humidity, we only quit raining last week and running the heat.
Now I've got the air on high all day long, we only go out to run the dogs down to the creek, where it's usually 15 degrees cooler, but still muggy because it's still muddy in areas.
Looks like another week of hot weather before it breaks. :blink:

I would have never thought y'all would have summer weather as bad as we do here. Our humidity comes and goes but the heat does not go away, even at night, 88 degrees for a low is not that uncommon come August.  If I start early, I can work all day in it, the key is not to turn on the air conditioner. :lol: If I have to run errands and run the truck air, it ruins the whole day. I just wonder what the population of Texas would be if air conditioners were banned. :lol:
