I thought I fixed it by adding a daily "success" notice, but that turned into noise. The real fix was an alert when it DIDN'T run.

But, the first few days of the season when it's over 100° are awful. Then, the last few weeks when you shout "JUST BE DONE ALREADY", are awful. The rest I can deal with.
