Mowing. I have enough battery life that I can mow for an hour. The weather app said 35% chance of rain. Kentucky weather is so fickle. A 5% chance of rain could mean that it will rain all day. And a 85% chance of rain means nothing.
As I’m mowing the small side of my yard, the sky darkens. The wind picks up. 5 sycamore trees line my property. Leaves and bark start flying through the air. It’s only when I stop the mower to empty the bag, that I hear the thunder. Always mow with ear plugs. Don’t need anymore hearing damage. It’s just thunder, so I move to the big side.
No sooner had I started, here comes the rain. It rained like a cow peeing on a flat rock and I got soaked before I could get the mower put up.
Then I’m gonna take a quick shower, knock the sweat and grass off. I’m wrapped in a towel only. Then remember, I left the batteries on the railing. Better get them before the rain blows in under my carport.
Did I mention I’m pet sitting? As I open the door to get them, Penny bolts. It’s pouring the rain. I’m wrapped in a towel, barefoot. Horrible thoughts race through my mind of having to chase this dog all over my neighborhood. And I would. She isn’t mine. Can you picture it? I can. Can you imagine the scandal?

The weather forecasters here play it safe. Everyday they say there’s a chance for rain. LOL

Florida weather is similar. Do you live in Kentucky?: If so, you know the lore. My wife and I were married by her ex-mother in law. She was a McCoy. Direct descendant. It was not a shotgun wedding.

Yes. I’ve never lived outside the state. Visited other states on vacation. I knew a Hatfield once. Nice lady. I’ve heard about shotgun weddings but honestly never been to one.

I can’t believe a battery can power a mower for an hour. That blows my mind.
Someone once told me that the percent chances of rain don’t work that way. For example, an 85% chance of rain in Louisville actually means 85% of Louisville will get rained on, while 15% of Louisville will not. It makes a little more sense that way, although weather people still have no more idea what’s going to happen than you or I do. I like the stick method. Hold a stick outside. Stick’s wet? It’s raining. Stick’s gone? Tornado. Etc. LMAO ‘cow peeing on a flat rock.’😂 It just rained here for the first time in two months. Thank the Lord.

I have 2 sets. If I’m lucky, I get 30 minutes out of a set.
Yeah, 😂 the stick method is great. We’ve got a chance of rain everyday this week. Time will tell.
