It's not supposed to rain until ~9pm tonight, but I saw several dark clouds go over around noon, so I decided to get it done.

I'm good for 25-30 minutes at a time and my legs give out. -- TomTurkey Jul 09, 2026 at 03:58 PM ET

I thought about it, but my grass was still pretty wet from last night.** -- EDGEMAN Jul 09, 2026 at 03:07 PM ET
