No mow May is transitioning into no install June

Another unreal gorgeous morning. 10/10.

62 / 45 breezy. 36 more hours of dry weather. Low 70s today and Tuesday , some warmer spots could touc 75 today. Trough cuts off below the ridge Wed - Sat with low developing Thu/Fri with rain, cool (50s-40s) ENE/NE flow - 1.00 - 2.00 inches of rain between Wed - Sat (AM). Saturday salvageable after the morning - but cool and proably not clearing till later in the afternoon W-NE. Sunday and Monday looking similar to today with dry , mostly sunny, breezy and temps near normal (70s). Trough stingy into the Northeast to close the month. Warmer air grows out of the rockies and towards the first week of next month into the area, nothing likely sustained but near to above normal.

Your 100% right on that!

I can only hope for weather like this morning on my wedding day on Sunday—sans the breeze though.

After all this excess rain, the last thing we need is a tropical system riding the coast.

Autumn is the fastest warming season I believe. I wish summer was over by September lol, I love fall temps.

The bussiness is all her, man...I just funded it.

7 in a row. Them and the Avs both hold that current streak.

I turned my central air on once for a few hours on Friday night...that's it for the seasn so far.

Nice! A shrewd businessman as well as a weenie !

Unless you’re beachin’ it no idea why this weather is getting anger. I love this. No AC, good sleeping weather, great planting and generally really comfortable during the day. The in-the-sun feel is like +15 this time of year assuming light winds or wind-shielded hang outs, so it’s generally really nice even at 58ish…

Mostly playoff Bball and Extra Innings baseball package to track my fantasy players lol

I'm heading over the the end of June and they we call come back like second week of July. We are in the latter stages of bulding a 7 unit apartment building in Uganda that she is going to operate as an Air b&b.

Are they away for the summer?

Most "summertimne" activities begin Memorial Day. Sometimes its, hot, sometimes its not. Forget the ocean temperature. People still go to the beach to get a tan and do whatever else. June is historically warm. By the 4th of July, if you blink, summertime is over. And you are allowed to start wearing white clothes after Memorial Day. So yes, Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, especially since it is so close to June 01, the beginning of meteorological summer...

I'm an indoors guy, so I am cool with it....I can get away with that right now while the family is away.

Picture Ray with a bag of Fritos watching The Notebook again.

How many game 7 losses in a row? Not to mention they were up 2-0 in the series. Then again so were the bruins last year. Up 3-1

Exactly

We get 60 in January now. Time to warm it up.

Big boys out there yesterday.

JB thinks around June 10th or so the rubberband could possibly snap. Then the heat will come along with those nighttime thunderstorms coming over the top of the ring of fire. So I guess we'll see what happens. Forecasts always change. Also JB is thinking early Tropical development in the Gulf in early June and possibly coming north along the east coast. I hope not.

Pretty nice morning... unless you're a Toronto Maple Leafs fan
