Since I can't predict when temps will spike, the only time I could be sure 
of would be September. I don't own a weed eater ayway. This is in the law 
proper. 

Well, I decided to to what I was trying to avoid - a big load of laundry. 
I covered everything I could with sheets. If I lose somethning I left 
uncovered, C'est la vie. 
I gotta get it done.
