Yeah it was cold when I was up there... I think the high was
like 17* the whole time I was there. It was 95* the second day we were in
Detroit. The first day was really nice. Walked outside all day at
greenfield village and never broke a sweat course many locals were
complaining it was so unbearably hot....
Geri said I could probably come and play in september. It's
the best month to fly cause school has been in session for almost a month
and fewer people are flying.

Looks like your weather is going to be much cooler but wet.
It's extremely dry here. All of the grass out front is dead. Just twigs and
dirt. Same with the back except for the sticker burs that grow no matter
what the weather. Going to spray roundup on all of them and just kill
everything off. Need about 6 dumptruck loads of good soil to till in and
then cover that with sod(many pallets). Course without a well that's all in
vain. Need to explore more of the buried concrete in the yard and see if
they were old wells and if they can be servicable enough for watering the
grass.
