Lot's of miles for only a year old. Just hit 22k on mine but since last November when I retired it's been sitting quite a bit. I'd probably have around 35 or 40k if I was still driving a hundred miles a day. I got up to 18 mpg on the highway yesterday running about 72mph in the 75mph speed limit zones. 65 mph zones I got a little over 18 but getting caught in a detour in Houston mileage dropped down back into the 17's. Got a free wash from Beaumont to Lafayette running through rainstorm's!

We've had a watering restriction for the last 6 years.....

Odd addresses water on odd days...

Even addresses water on even days....

With no watering between 10am-6pm....

Hand watering is allowed at any time for gardens and flowers....

Pools over 1000 gallons require a permit

Cars can only be washed at home on your watering day unless taken to one of the car washes

Believe it or not kids water toys are allowed at any time.....some have taken advantage of this so their grass can get watered while the kids play....smart i guess

Thought of a couple of good comments, but I would get banned.

Yeah, yeah......I've always wondered who would have the honor to ban a mod or admin if they slip up. If you add up all the rounds that I've fired this summer they would equal my round count for the last 3 or 4 years.

If I get my Dillon 650XL progressive loading press this fall next summers round count will probably equal what I've shot for the last 10-12 years.

if you shoot that much you'll have to invest in extra barrels....
