Huge victory as we approach the event. So basically more of the same "heatwaves" we have had over the last 3 months. Nothing extreme :clap:

Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

EC is going all in. 5 days of mostly 33c Highs for Abby, with special "Met notes".
33c is totally fine..way better than 43c right? :lol: :lol: :lol:

It does look like it was KING GFS breaking the heat trends on this event :clap:

I'm not sure what your post is trying to convey?

How is EC going all in? 4 to 5 days close to 33c is what Abby will see? So I don't know what you're trying to get across.

Definitely not the kind of grass I get all worked up about lol
So, like years ago when we had a heatwave. My parents' grass went all brown. They obviously didn't care, but the neighbors would water their grass 5 hours a day with zero regard. So my mom said, " Hey, there's water restrictions, maybe dial it back a bit."

The neighbor straight up said and I quote " if you want your grass to look like a piece of Sh*t and show everyone how much you don't care about your property so be it, But that won't be me"

See? It’s not your responsibility to conserve water. It’s your responsibility to “take care of your property”.
I hope your neighbour got whiffs of the real green grass for his troubles.
