How is everybody coping with the heatwave in the U.S. at the moment ? Keep safe
We’re doing fine. There was a storm that cane through last month that knocked power out for like 250,000 people, but it barely missed us by like 20 miles. Those poor folks were without any power for up to 10 days with high 90’s temps.How is everybody coping with the heatwave in the U.S. at the moment ? Keep safe
Oh ok. 4 hours away. I thought you were South of San Antone. It’s still darn hot !Yup! We're in the Austin area. It was about 95. Today it's 96. At our home, in the RGV, it's it's in the low 100s every day.
We go back and forth between Weslaco, at the border, and Cedar Park. We came up to CP around the 15th of June, and will be heading back down to Weslaco around the middle of September. Then, back up here, to CP about the middle of November, and stay through the Holidays. Then we head South, in early January, and enjoy the warmth of the valley during the colder months.Oh ok. 4 hours away. I thought you were South of San Antone. It’s still darn hot !
When I first moved to TX I dated this girl that lived in Round Rock. She played football and she was the nicest looking girl every bit of 5’10”. She took me to Austin to Zilker park? and went swimming. Plus the Lake Austin nightlife and other hot spots. It was really fun but then I went and married a Rockwall gal. Something about Rocks I like
Oh ok. My partner at work goes to South Padres on vacation about every other year I’ve never been (yet) but it sounds nice down there.We go back and forth between Weslaco, at the border, and Cedar Park.

Amazing area in the winter time. We live in a 55+ park, and the majority of the people are "Winter Texans," which is like a Florida Snowbird. We have constant entertainment, and activities, and really kept busy. It's a golf cart community, and we're out and about all the time, with something to do. In fact, we started as Winter Texans, and decided to call this our permanent home down here after both our Sons moved to the Austin area.Oh ok.

I work in a refrigerated facility. Lined pants, ski outfits & caps, electric vests are the norm. Production area is kept in the 40's.

about 2/3 of our lot is lower or shaded to a degree. Cutting has been slower, but still green and looks good all things considered. I have a little over half acre area that higher and full sun and is pretty cooked in spots especially where it reflects off the house and glass.Once the pendulum swings back and we get some rain I'll be a happy guy. So dry where I'm at. The Northern parts of Wisconsin seem to be getting all the water.
My wife insists on mowing the straw that USED to be my front lawn.
Early this spring, I was mowing every 3 days. I get home tonight and Momma mowed again - so bad for a lawn - I emptied the bagger and it was DUST .. grass dust.about 2/3 of our lot is lower or shaded to a degree.

They broke our well when connecting to city sewer and it had to be capped. I still wonder if that was intentional or not. But no way i'm irrigating this much in this weather regardless and even less of an option paying public utility prices vs some electricity for the pump.
Last year I was cutting every 5 days thru June. This year I'm not sure if I cut more than 5 times in May/June/and so far July. I enjoy cutting, so this kind of sucks.
Pics or didn’t happenI slept naked in my neighbor's pool last night(Their out of town).
Perv!Pics or didn’t happen

I hear you, but it's too late for me. As I said, Momma would mow a parking lot if she thought it looked scraggly and I refused to cut it. Swear to gawd herself, that I'm going to have to pull out the spark plug. (If I did, she'd probably be pulling on the recoil for hours hell-bent on mowing that lawn, and she's not even a stubborn farm girl, go figure, but obsessed nonetheless... "Good for you, Hon."Our gardener is only mowing our lawn about once very three to four weeks, unless we get at least two decent rains. The last thing I want is burnt grass.

I'm in Phoenix it will be at least 10 more days over 110Speaking of heatwave. I just read an article about the heat this year.
Death Valley (Mohave desert, California) reached 128 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s 2 degrees shy of the Record hottest recorded raw temperature on Earth (130 deg)
Phoenix, Arizona just had 19 days of 110+ degrees which broke their records.
China set their All-Time high at 126 Degrees.
Most impressive of all was the Persian Gulf. The article didn’t specify but I’m assuming it was on 7-18-23 there was a recorded heat index of 152 degrees there. It formerly peaked at 136 degrees, so that’s their record.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.Why? You could be a female
