There's blowing out the mice and then there's just watering the grass! A step in the right direction yes, but IMHO the classic blowing out of the mice occurs when you get those 1st few minutes of the late summer/fall when it's actually cold enough to get some crystallization of what's coming out of the guns!

That's one helluva powerful sprinkler system. My lawn could use a few hours under a fan gun.

100 gallons a MINUTE or so with a throw range of 200+ feet (depending on the wind) for many of them! Yup, all but the biggest of yards could be watered adequately in under 15 minutes with a fan gun! :)

The mist still looks like snow so I'm sticking with it for stoke.

Loveland is where I learned what altitude sickness is! Gaining 11K feet in under 18 hours is not my cup of java!

It was so sad seeing all the idled gear. Glad to see it getting a little exercise!
