CAPE

Had about 12 drops here lol. Looking dry. Bring on the Saharan dust.

Looks like Easton may get hit pretty good, looking at the trajectory of that line of storms crossing the bay.

Be careful. Your area is in the slight risk for severe. Watch this, just to be sure you have a healthy respect for large scale electrical arcing, as I know you do on the smaller scale stuff. Btw, when I teach multi-meter use, amazing how many people don't have a clue about the Cat ratings. Same thing in general with interrupting ratings with fuses. Lol seriously tho, this is a cool vid.

We still have a decent chance late this afternoon into tonight. Coverage wont be great, but there will be places that will get a gusty t-storm, and a quick half inch or so of rain. Mesos don't look bad for our general area.

I am about to give up lol. I will wear out my well pump trying to save my grass. Go through this every summer. I will just let nature take its course and reseed/overseed in another month or so when the sun angle is noticeably lower. My grass only looks good from mid April through mid June, and then again(after seeding) from September until it goes dormant. In Mid to late summer, forget it. Burned up, thatch city.

Have had some periodic clouds here too. Otherwise it would be 90 for sure. It is pretty oppressive tho.

WP and other news sources give you a few freebies per month, then you have to subscribe. I used to play the game of deleting cookies, but in most cases you have to clear everything, which effs with logon info and profile settings for sites I care much more about, so not doing that

Drinking a DuClaw Oatshake Double IPA. Never had this one before, and its pretty darn good.

Too bad it's pay walled. I would love to read it. Screw buying subscriptions to all these online newspapers though. Plenty of freely available resources for news, and they all get their money from advertising. Pretty much every site requires you to turn off ad blockers now.

Feels pretty damn close out there to me. Don't have to move much to sweat like a pig. Luckily there is a decent breeze. 87/70 here.

Just had a brief heavy downpour to aid the sprinkler in watering the grass. Picked up about a tenth.

Another GFS 'upgrade' to look forward to.

Outside of the 0.8" last Sat, nothing here for 2 weeks+. Soil is parched, other than where I constantly run the sprinkler in an attempt to save my patch of decent grass lol.

LOL

Oh damn. Well I knew he wasn't going to be a happy camper after that draft move.

HOF game/ceremonies now canceled, and ofc that would have been the first preseason game. Hard to envision training camp and preseason occurring on time at this point. Not sure how its even logistically possible with teams having up to 80-90 players heading into camp, not to mention all the coaches and training staff. I am not feeling it for the NFL season occurring in any normal way right now. It wouldn't be surprising to me if it didn't happen at all. Not a fan of Goodell and I have little faith there is enough forethought and creativity to pull this off, unless ofc the COVID magically disappears.

Still seeing it on the op runs to some extent, but it doesn't look like a rex block where it would truly cutoff and spin in place for a week. Also appears it would be located much further to the east or northeast at h5 than the previous 'events'. All subject to change of course.

Ensemble means still showing the tendency for a trough/NW flow at h5 along the east coast for the foreseeable future. Mean ridge and +height anomalies stay west/nw of our area. Looks like generally "normal" temps over the next 10 days, which is plenty hot enough for me.

I like a good fish n chips every so often. I just try like heck to stay away from eating fried foods in general. It just doesn't appeal to me much, and I know what its doing to my arteries lol. I would have to drink a lot more red wine!

I am a big cod fan. (Not a fan of the fried donut covered variety). That looks awesome!

Now, watch it rain in the next couple hours. I need 4-6 hours with no rain for this fungicide lol.

I just sprayed it. A shiit ton lol. A lot more brown out there than I thought. If its a fungus, I should see some results. Intuitively I have always thought(and still think) this is more of an indication that the tree roots are winning out and starving the grass of nutrients. We shall see. In other news, I saw a legit tarantula in the grass while I was spraying. Biggest spider I have ever seen here, and there are plenty of big wolf spiders. This thing was textured/bumpy and ugly af. I should have taken a picture, but my first instinct was to stomp on that mother fu**ker, lol.

I took the advice of @WinterWxLuvr and went to a local AG place that sells blends of grass seed specifically for the soils of the eastern shore. The dude there was very knowledgeable, and he recommended spraying. Based on my description, his recommendation for a product was Fung-onil, so I went with that. I might get it sprayed tonight, as it seems unlikely it will actually rain lol.

Barrel aged Narwhal to kick off HH. Really good stuff.

I will let you know when I figure it out lol.
