As I said, I don't mind some, but when it becomes a thug, choking off other plants - it's time for it to go. 
It'll be back though.

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.

can you weed eat a path through it until conditions are right for
spraying?

I don't mind clover in a lawn and don't bother doing anything about it
until it reaches threatening levels. If it looks like it's going to take
over and destroy the lawn, a little weed b gone does the trick, though
with
clover it usually takes 2 apps. I've had a patch in the back yard
slowly
spreading the past few years and I knew I'd have to do something this
year.
This spring, it suddenly pulled out all the stops and grew with a
vengence.
Instead of hugging the ground, it was leaping a foot high (only a slight
exaggeration) with leaves 5 x (no exaggeration) the normal size. It's
time. It's been time for months now.

This area is in a direct line of travel from the backyard to the front.
In
April I'm traipsing thru there too much to be spraying it. In May, it
rained (can't spray if it will rain the next day) until toward the end of 
the month when it suddenly turned 90 degrees (can't spray over 85) The
heat
came down again, but only because it rained again. But now it's in the
70s
and the rain is past us, so I can spray - except that it is so windy, I
don't dare. With all the moisture it just keeps growing so I have to
mow,
knowing I'd rather have it longish to grab more herbicide. It's June now
and I've read that it's going to be a hot summer. How soon will the 90s
return?

So what would you do? This is a tough area to maneuver around, but I can
do it. It's just the damned "conditions".
