We are already making plans to go back for sailing lessons in a couple weeks.
I think I saw you commented somewhere that it was 108 degrees F. in you neck of the woods? I don't think I would get much done in that kind of heat, yikes!
howdy back @hhayweaver! yes sir I would live at the lake as much as I could before the long winter starts.
Yes sir.. about the temperatures here, we're in some kind of heat wave. It gets warm gradually so you get used to it but when it gets over 102 it's very hot even in the shade so you just gotta be slower! lol.
and keep hydrated with enough electrolytes is all.
the bad thing is that it's so parched because of lack of rain so cracks are forming in the lawns that are 6 inches across and feet deep!
Holy hand-grenades you could bust an ankle in one of those cracks! You should post some photos of those.
Is this kind of drought uncommon for your area?
lol! "holy hand-grenades"! I'm gonna steal that expression, I love using expressions man. haha.
uh..well sir, every summer this happens to our lawns and those cracks vary in length from a couple feet to 15 feet so I will get some of them in one of my posts yes because for me at least, it's quite a phenomenon, I had never seen anything like it until we got here. We have a black clay soil and that stuff shifts and moves around and cracks, then when it rains it doesn't absorb into the ground so it floods everywhere! it's very strange..many people have foundation problems because of the shifting clay soil.
we're not officially in a drought yet but it does get hot and dry every summer like this..and today it's hitting 108, tomorrow it's supposed to be 110! that dries out the ground like crazy. ponds are going down fast too.
