Last night was great here Steve. Was able to open the windows on the truck for the drive home and not use the AC.

That it has been Steve. I have to trim the yard tomorrow. Sister in law mowed today. Should only take about 30 minutes to trim it.

I mowed some of the back part of my lawn today. Takes me about three hours plus to mow it all. I use roundup for most of the trimming.

I use ortho groundclear in my yard Steve. Mainly where I have to deal with poison ivy growing from a neighbors yard. Otherwise I just trim around the house and sheds. Also along the fence lines.

I spray the ground clear once a year as needed. Usually I spray very liberally and it takes the poison ivy back a good bit. Usually takes it 2 years to come back through the fence.
