Brewers / Rain

Columbus only received 0.48 inches of rain in the last 24 hours compared to Madison who generally seem to be in the 2.10 inch range.

Columbus has had 5.25 inches of rain this money or, 142,500 gallons of water per acre.
Madison is about 1.25 inches more then Columbus at 6.57  inches. But when you start getting to those levels does it really matter?

I would think that lawn care businesses are hurting.  I know K&B called me up to see if I wanted the early summer fertilizer.  YEA - my yard needs freaking fertilizer! Every night it gets a fresh does of nitrogen from lightning** and soft water.

** actually lightning causes oxygen and nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere to combine to form nitrogen oxide the main nutrient in lawn fertilizers. But that's not the whole story -- does the nitrogen oxide created during a lightning storm really cause your lawn to look greener?  No, not directly. Winds blow this nitrogen oxide hundreds of miles away so we typically don't get THAT nitrogen oxide.  We probably get Iowa nitrogen oxide.

Unless lightning actually strikes the ground which would break the bond in nitrites and turn them into nitrates which is very beneficial to grass . . . . but I digress.

Last years drought didn't help them but in my book is perfect for my lawn - a dead lawn is a lawn I do love.  This year my next mow will be #10 and I still can not get my mower to the next lower level.  It's been stuck as high as it will go all year.

I won't get into my disc golf adventure here.  I have a new blog for that (a work in progress). I did golf 36 holes yesterday in Beaver Dam at Crystal Lake Farms and I feel GREAT.  Now DJ is going to buy a couple disc's tonight at Glide.

I'll let you know that address for ANYBODY interested.  It's more for myself documenting my experience going from newbie to GRAND MASTER.  Actually I'm already a Grand Master as that is what you call a disc golfer over 50.  In fact that is why I took up the sport as I can be a Grand Master right away!!

Tailgated the Brewer game Saturday.  It was great.  DJ was drinking shots and feeling "floaty" and people were enjoying my Belgium Pale ale.  There was even a game but our seats were in an area where you were not really connected.

We were celebrating balderdashs 50th birthday and a good time was had by all.

HOWEVER - during the game was the sausage races and Dan Patrick and the Danettes were in the sausages.  What many people do not know is what happened to the sausages AFTER the race which is one of the funniest things I have ever heard .  at the moment.

Seems after the race Fritzy gets claustrophobic and starts to panic with his arms over his head and can not get out of his sausage.  Here is a link to the story - go to about the 28 minute mark.

You guys gotta get me out of here!!
