Rain today. We need it, about 9 inches behind where we should be.

Aerated the last section of my lawn, a strip that runs along the left side of the driveway just before the hedgerow.
It has a considerable slope and I've been trying to re-grow the grass there after having the new driveway put in. I want to avoid erosion there, so I added topsoil up to the asphalt and re-seeded.

Forgot to add that I also performed my break-in oil change this afternoon.
Drained the oil tank and refilled it with 16oz of fresh SAE30.

Thanks, I'm doing indian rain dance-offs in the yard! The city also tickets you $500 if they catch you watering your yard outside of designated times. Unfortunately, those times are on 2 weekdays and start at 10pm at night and ends at 6 am. My "yard" is over an acre (my field is beyond saving) and I couldn't water it all in the time frame even if I could stay up all night to do it.

After a month of rain, we finally have some sun and it looks like my aeration, overseeding and fertilizing are a success:
