Mowing and edging

[bigredfish]

….at 67 in 92 degree heat with 72% humidity is only slightly better than doing it in 95 degree heat and 80% humidity

Thank god for tiny yards and lightweight battery powered mowers!

It could be worse... you could be obsessed and stripe a 1/2 acre yard, twice a week.

My compliments!

I will not do any yard work over 85 degree heat plus 70% humidity. Be careful with heat stroke as we get older with out door activities.

 

[bigredfish]

For sure. I took 3 breaks over the course of the roughly 60 minutes it took me to mow and edge. Drank a full Gatorade each time and cooled down.

5 minutes just standing in this shit and you’re sweating your ass off, just dripping. Like being wrapped in a hot wet blanket

oh .. after only a short while working in The Swamp

This morning, on coffee #2, I thought, Naw… it can’t be 90% humidity.. but it sure feels like it …..

Yep

That was early Monday morning here. Went outside to blow leaves off the driveway and back out my car for a mobile detailing service appointment. In the fifteen minutes I was out there, it was not too hot yet, but the humidity was overbearing.

It's amazing how much better an edge will make a lawn look.

I guess, if you say so. Personally, I've never seen the big appeal of lawn edge cutting, it looks odd (fake) to me.

To me, it's the same as getting your hair cut and not trimming around your ears.

The next time I go for a walk I'll grab a picture of two neighbors with differing philosophies. I would like your opinion on which you prefer.
