All Activity

Sorry for the whiney post. It wasn’t a good day yesterday. As far as the other day, it was SOMEthing but still short and unremarkable. Maybe I expect too much..

So we had a causality of the electrical storm last Tuesday. The younger Ms. J had been out doing a pet sitting job and drove home in the storm. She opened the garage door and put her car in. She went to put it down and it would not go down. Found out she had to hold the garage button down to force it down. Also the interior light would not turn off. So I told her to call the guy who installed it. He came out and the sensor eyes had gotten zapped so replaced them. But as for the light not turning off the circuit board in the unit got fried. As the garage door opener was installed when we moved in it is 16 yrs old. He found the circuit board from another guy as the rest of the unit has been working fine in hopes that it is all that is needed. We have a whole house surge protector on our panel but it just must have happened are the exact time that the door was asked to be opened.

I forgot a third reason he likely isn't employed in his field of study, and it's probably the most significant one: Profound dishonesty. Ethics still matters in many professions. Here's the latest example: He refers to the following document: https://archive.ipcc.ch/pdf/ipcc-principles/ipcc-principles.pdf Notice that this document was prepared in 1998. That is a decade after the IPCC was established. At that time, scientific understanding of contemporary climate change and the predominant role of human activities were far better understood. If one wants to find the IPCC's original purpose, one has to go back to the founding documents. That was UNGA Res. 43-53. Its original mission was not limited to human-induced climate change. It covered climate change in its entirety.

How's Pete's foliage coming along?

Wet, humid summer. Making up for the 8 month drought. When does the next drought start? Seems like its all or nothing the last few years.

aww do you want me to make long posts to entertain you little piggies? haha

Low of 62. Boat day.

White Plains recorded its fourth consecutive low in the 50s. The last time that happened in July was during 2009. At that time, an El Niño was developing. Strong El Niño conditions are already present this year.

CSU MLP guidance favors south of the area for Tuesday. CIPS is not enthused really. NCAR which normally is overly bullish is not terrible but given its normal...is under enthused as well.

Me too. Heard cicadas the same time you did, but they are sparse. Kinda hoping they’ll come out in force.

Picked up .80 inches in heavy rain this morning. Closing in on 6 inches for the month.

Loud morning!

Had a little rain shower early this am

Torch !

DCA has had one above average precip month since June 2025. That was due to the sleet storm in January. July to date is -0.32" so maybe we can get lucky over these last few days.

More more comfortable temperatures here than areas to our west.

Outstanding stretch of weather on LI

57.9 this morning 3 consecutive nights below 60 degrees in July, last time that happened out here at ISP was 2018

You missed the stuff the other day?

More rain and storms this morning. Looks like a good chance of severe weather this week as well.

He doesn’t even know where I live lol
