4 hours?? When I grounded myself after hand-sanding the bracket pads, I had a smallish patch of black niblets on the floor to clean up. Ah, the wonders of an ancient AquaVac, strong enough to suck up a set of wheel nuts. But don't touch the hose (plastic) before grounding THAT. One of my cats did, boof! :D She doesn't trust vacuum cleaners now.

Usually it's avoiding rain we're interested in here (or timing it between the wet) :D There's a lovely light misty drizzle we get here that can actually glue dust/dirt to grass. It's the "tis a grand soft day" type wet. It can actually get you wetter than a heavy rain burst.

Though the grass I have probably needs cutting, I've got some small elephants and giraffes wandering about a bit lost. The back corner of the acre has 7 foot tall bracken, now that I will have to cut before it spores. I'll probably leave any grass cutting until after the flower season finishes, the bumblebees are happy and getting fat.

Ah, I'm blathering away, guess what? :D Tis a grand soft day outside. LOL.
