Greeny Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Now I just have to make it through work without jumping in front of a bus and then I can enjoy my weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimOdin Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) It’s too hot here to mow other than early morning, so I missed my opportunity yet again. Enjoy the bus. Edited July 1, 2023 by SwimOdin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Got mine done around 1pm local. Came inside & thought I heard thunder, it's been raining on and off since. We had a small chance of rain (we're down around 7" for the year) and I didn't hold out much hope. Now there's flash flood watches just to the west of us. Climate change weather is crazy.

Vela Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Mowing the lawn is a big production for me because I live in lyme disease territory. I have to cover from head to toe which is oh so much fun in the heat. But my neighbor down the block lost her husband to lyme disease so I'm terrified and don't let even a centimeter of skin or single strand of hair show I even wear goggles. I look more like I'm going out to inspect hazardous waste rather than out to mow/weed wack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just kill the whole lawn and replace it with the fake grass they use in domed baseball/football fields. It's a pretty big lawn though...that's a lot of astro turf . By all accounts it's a decent size for a ride on mower. Greeny's right, I should probably invest in one. I can't let it grow because my house is conspicuous. The property is triangular shaped with main roads on both sides and at the tip of the triangle where the two main roads meet is a little monument with a fountain n everything...long explanation short my house is on display and one summer I visited family for a month and came back to a notice from the town yelling at me about "overgrowth". In all fairness they probably have strict ordinances because of the Lyme disease, it originated only about 40 min from me in Old Lyme and the ticks are less of a threat in short vegetation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened to me about a year or two ago. My (now former) next door bitch of a neighbor reported me because my grass got a little high. Only reason it did was because I was very sick at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
