Isn't there some rule
about NOT having to do yardwork if the outside temperature is over 92 degrees? Something like the yardwork ground rule double rule?

I have a lawn to mow, weeds to whack, leaves to pick up, and the closure of what appears to be a tunnel to China one of the dogs has been working on. Should've had that animal about when I was digging post holes for my fence.

I just refilled the bird feeder, and there's already a squirrel hanging from it (squirrel-free, my ass) simply mocking me. I fear my other outside chores will go quite poorly as well.

1. Drink one six pack for every degree over 90 it is for every 10 minutes you spend outside
That's the rule

Look it up!

3. Okay, I did the math
92 degrees means 12 beers every 10 minutes.

I'm going to need to go buy a lot more beers.

2. Bring the dogs inside and hire a neighbor kid. Then use your spare time to call me.
Problem solved! Yay for smart, slightly bossy women.

4. When neighbor kid is just about done
I could then let the dogs back outside, so I wouldn't have to pay him. A number of them *are* pitbulls, remember.

I'm going to add this :sarcasm: just in case someone were to take this seriously.

5. Yeah, but you'd quickly run out of neighbor kids
and then the local cops would run out of marginally productive things to do and they'd spend more time tazing wheelchair bound octeganarians.

8. Souls of Mischief
I have stolen your 93 to infinity graphic as recognition of your patently obvious genius musical tastes!
15 year underground hip-hop for the win!

Thanks for the reminder of a perfect Sunday afternoon chill song :)

10. Plus she got friends, yo I can dig it.
One of my favourite songs to relax to on a warm summer evening, or skateboard to. Nice and laid back.

And everyone 'round these parts reveres my musical taste. :P (Maybe not, but they clearly should, haha.)

9. Sleep during the day, and pull a swing shift
Neighbors love the sound of midnight yard work!
