cyclone77 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Looks like it hit 84 in Erie today with only 0.08" for the day. Sitting in Hays KS after a second Kansas bust in a row. Debating whether to chase southern KS/northern OK tomorrow or just pack it in and head home. Leaning towards heading home since I don't know if I can handle another bust lol.

That is tough...last year was really bad here for lack of rain..i think i went something like 6 weeks without mowing...maybe longer. I don't mind rain, but every day? I'd take last year, but with less heat...to me the heat was the bigger issue. 80F dew point is bananas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
