Enjoying the summer this year?

Gotta say, Kudos to mother nature so far. This has been very good beer drinking back yard pool weather.

Summer so far:
cottage weekends have been fantastic!
basement renovations are hectic
not having the Mustang on the road....sad :(

[stangstevers]

Is it working? Or just stored up in the loft?

'loft' is full of all the basement junk, LOL. Mustang is on the ground in the garage ...surrounded by more basement junk.
It only needs a few minor things done to it, but just haven't had any time or motivation to tackle them. My one-track brain only works on one project at a time. And the basement is using up about 98% of it.

the other 2% is being killed by beer :hammered:

Summer has been great.. fishing and driving the fox every chance I get. Taking all of September off too, can’t wait.

Been nice but do we ever need rain, at least in the Oakville to Hamilton area. I work for a landscaper (think parks, stormwater ponds, new development grading and sodding) and our water truck is running 12 hour days to try and keep up. And not thunderstorm rain, good long day long gentle rain to allow it to soak in.

Also, going to the cottage in another week, need rain to lift the fire ban so that I can burn a whole lot of crap lying around.

Not at all. Not many storms, and what we've had I've missed due to work.

Just went for a rip in the fox such a glorious day

I was contemplating on washing mine.. but the truck needs a hand wash. So a dirty fox will be cruising tonight.

Edit: a dirty, leaky fox.. damn drain plug has started a leak.. just changed the oil too :(

When I had my landscaping done in 2010, we didn't lay the sod until after labour day. Keeping new grass hydrated in July/ August is almost impossible

both drain plugs on mine are leaking, as well as the area near the rear seal (could be the rear main seal too but I think it's the pan)... LOL Costs me $5 in oil just to park for a month LOL got a new proper pan for it and all that but not gonna pull the engine out yet.

We sod from the first cut in April/May until December if possible. Working for builders means they have a schedule and we have to follow it. It really isn't that bad to keep it watered.

If you're a DIY'er, it's really not that hard to do. I installed a 3-zone system at my house in a weekend, total cost was about $500 for everything.

Installed a orbit system last year.. works well you just have to adjust the sprinklers a few times a year.
