My grass grows like crazy. My front yard could be mowed every 3 days...back yard not much different. The sun beats the piss out of my house too....no trees either. Guess we've had just enough rain and muggy weather.

Did just over two last night as my dinners was sloshing around in my stomach. Coulda stopped and puked. ...probably 3+ tonite and again tomorrow. Feels good to get that sweat goin.
