Moisture is swampy. I'm in Union County/Somerset border. That bitty rain just nurtured the weeds and gave the mosquito broods little pools.

We also need the cold. Plants sort of hibernate too. I need to get outside to trim plants, still fearing they will try to bloom, and plod through mushy grass.

Is that you, Dad?

My father drove us crazy over HAVING to buy a fancy snow blower. He even made sure to finally get a new lock system for the garage to protect it. Not that even when we've left the garage door up, and not having had it locked for years, even as we openly stored lots of useful tools in it, was anything stolen.

I've never seen my father eager for one snow storm, hopeful for multiple snow storms.

I'm in a apartment. the best I got is slow cooking ribs in a thing for 8 hours, then I turn the broil setting on in my oven and do that for 5-10 min. It's the best I got right now with my living situation. I was just curious about locations because I hate the clean up and prep lol

Your absolute best bet is to buy a smoker and learn to make them yourself… there’s no good bbq around here

You should see what it replaced... 1/9, 22, 21 had a traffic circle.... It's about 49 feet under the ramps, and obliterated.

They built the spaghetti to end traffic jams, and if you're there any weekday you can see that they failed... (Now they're expansive traffic jams)

Still not enough. I had a friend do that then walk through tall grass like an idiot. His pants had at least 9 ticks trying to burrow into the seams of the pant legs. While the pants stopped them, they still needed to be plucked off and drowned in alcohol.

The way around this is to treat your pants with the permethrin chemical before you go hiking or such. That clinches the defense against them.
