Kind of hard to win, I guess your expected to keep your dried up lawn cut short ? I lived in Santa Barbara during the early '90s. Water restrictions were so tight that companies painted dead lawns green... Surprised no one came up artificial grass that looks real and not a crazy price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 30, 2014 Just woke up, Retirement nap, Currently at 107 and climbing, im in the cave and just munched a Hagen Daz bar in two and half min. Met at the door by "Cirus" our cat, beggin to come in. Got an idea, get an decent size ice maker and throw ice in the pool to keep it the water cool. I was going to say catch rain water to freeze for the pool but you need rain for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They banned that too, astro turf is shuned in Calif due in part to run off chemicals. and of course, that means no paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 1, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2014 We see some of it here, you can't buy anything without a label that says "some things contained in this has been proven to cause cancer in the state of California", good thing I'm not there I wouldn't want cancer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 let me give you a little insider information from california…we're sure it's the labels causing cancer; but, the label lobby is simply too powerful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I don't even pay attention to the weather, as it is never accurate these days. But this morning I am trying a new cheese in my breakfast burrito, mango/habanero it is delicious. Well off to the office. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 You have a portable AC unit in the cave, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 You have a portable AC unit in the cave, don't you? No, im actually selling the portable at this very time, when I used it last year the power bill was double. As one can clearly see, Moe, has the right idea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Have a portable AC in my den; the bill is high as the cats back. Got down to 68 F. this morning in my Den. Usually, by late May, I have to move my sofa 10 feet forward to be right next to that unit; re-run Audyssey, et Cetera. Then, even with running the portable 24/7, only gets down to mid to high 70's. Today, supposed to get up to 95 F.; Heat Index about 104 F. But, so far, has been a relatively cool summer...July, August & September will prolly make up for this abnomoly...lots of Gulf rain storms have kept temps down...but, the St. Augustine Grass needs to be cut every 5 days...I make it wait at least 7... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they will let me back in Wallmart We shop @ wally world for the staples only, meat/veggies elsewhere.

He had two six packs and one was already empty. shopping cart full sitting next to him wile momma ran around the store bringing single items back to the cart. He was still there when we were done shopping. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Storm coming.....will the levees hold. Wait....we don't have levees. I guess I need to wax up the surf board.....that's right I don't surf any longer. Well there must be something I need to do. Maybe have another cup of joe. A question for you brainiacs out there. Why do folks consume so much milk and bread during a storm? Is it something similar to garlic and vampires?
