19:42?

Exactly.  It is 78 outside.  It hasn't gone down much, but at least it didn't go up.  I wanted to take a look around.  Mostly checking on the lawn.

It is greening up.  More each day, but ever so slightly.  Now I can see green in most places.  There is one area that does not get green.  It must be the soil?  I had thought it was the sun, until some things made me realize it's not the sun.  Though shade might help?  Or not.  Still, most areas have fresh grass coming in, and even some of the old grass simply returning to green, a blade or three per bunch at a time.

I set up the sprinkler, up front.  Though, I am not sure I will spin it up tonight.  Probably tomorrow, assuming it doesn't rain again.  Though, it doesn't look like it will rain.  It had seemed cloud free all day.  Though, with the monsoon officially having kicked off, when it will rain is anybody's guess.  It might just pop up, from seeming nowhere, cooler winds from the north colliding with moist winds from the south, and momma and poppa are singing.  Wet, I say, wet.  Though, probably not.  We aren't quite to daily or even ever other or third days.  That seems to have been just a start, the announcement.

So, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, I will use the sprinklers.  I don't want to water too much.  And we really did get a lot of water the last few days.  Even with the sun out all day, the ground is still wet... damp anyway.  So, yeah, tomorrow.  Still, I was worried the grass wouldn't be coming back.  The first three sprinklings... it was just almost starting to sort of partly green.  Or was I looking too hard, seeing what I wanted.  But, now, that rain really helped.  Still, I have to think the previous waterings were working.  But definitely greening out there.  What a relief.  How much would a turf replacement be?  Or... putting rocks down?

Not cool enough to open up.  It has gotten to 82 up here, in front, near the machine.  But that isn't terrible.  An hour or two, I should be able to open up, get fresh cool air in, then maybe take a shower, heat something up or cook something for dinner, and get started on tasks, chores, and what else.  It could be a really good night, for work.  If it will work with me a bit, and cool off a bit more.  Having only gotten to 80 today, I am definitely hoping it will get down to the 50s tonight.  Low 60s can be okay, but... Depends on how fast it gets to how cool it gets though too.

The cool, which allowed me to catch up on sleep, was great.  But that just cuts it closer to even.  To go farther, I'll need more cool.  Or I am, again, at a standstill.  We'll see.  Later.
