Lol. I sleep with them open all winter...

You guys should get your home windows tinted. It hasn't been above 70 in my house yet. Fan on and that's it...

woke to a couple fresh inches of snow this morning. I love spring, and snow.[Beer]

I was happy about the rain last night. I hate watering as well. Next house I'm going to build and the yard will be that fake grass. No watering, no sprinkler headaches, no mowing, no weeds, nada!

Just thinking about the 90's coming this summer makes me want to hook up the RV and go work in Montana this summer.

The only reason I have any grass is for the kid and dog to play on.

Well said.
It cost too much $$$ to grow good grassed lawn in CO. Much easier to grow grass lawn in WA and OH. Even in non-valley southern CA, water their lawn 1-2 per week.
