H2O

We won our last meet by a surprising margin. All week the numbers said it would be close. Like 5-10 points one way or the other. But they had a few kids missing for a big meet in stafford. By the start of breast we had a bigger lead than expected and it seemed like the other team just gave up. By relays half their team had left. Our coaches noticed it and commented after the meet. Our record and margin of victory will really make for a tough call if we stay where we are or get moved up. I REALLY don’t want to move up. We just aren’t a pool for that level of NVSL. Mainly due to how old our facility is. We just don’t have the niceties one would expect. Still a darn good season and we got payback against one team that drubbed us a couple years ago. Just divisionals left to go and then FREEDOM!!! Mel Gibson style

Same. Poured rain so much it made me think I had a blocked gutter when it was just rain rates. .84”

.84” from a nice storm with clouds I did NOT yell at @Kmlwx

I-66 south screw zone

Venmo me money or Zelle or western union or pony express

I do. Scars from splitsville last week are still visible. Too many gappy gappies

its too hot, mattie g pool water is too warm. Its the worst. Make it stop. Pray for yellowstone and winter. Wont someone think of the children and deodorant?

They acted that way for a B meet? Weird. Ours was against @vastateofmind former team. The combo of their team size and ours meant that it took over 2 hours to get thru free and back. When you hear that 8&Us have 5 heats and 9-10s too you are in for a long evening. My only complaint was clerks not stacking lanes to fill all the way. Just combo the shit out of events and if they are mixed boy/girl then just do it. Fill 6 lanes as much as possible. So between team size and wanting to do IMs as well it meant a long night. My knees and back were tapping out after 2.5 hours. But my data people are so fricken awesome. They knew I was hungry and they got me some pizza. Then I had to figure out how to yell "timers clear" with a mouth full of za. I swear that snack bars need to have concession sellers walking around like sporting events. Cold beer!, donuts!, ice cream! One last A meet saturday then I have one more B meet to go. We do a B meet for kids that won't do divisionals and also they hold an IM invite at another. So for this next monday I will make up some "special" water for my timers to say thanks for all the help. It might get sloppy but who cares. Last B meet and it will be fun.

3.5 hour B meets are a grind

Lol. I’ve only had 2.02 for the month

.08”

Fringed but even south near Fredericksburg to RIC is cashing in

I’m in the same boat. At best it might rain for 5 min Really amazing how it just won’t develop and split along the same path

Looking at radar it seems like DC split forming. Beltway N in MD and Stafford S in Va best spots

Won our swim meet today to get to 3-1. Next week will be the super tough meet that could make us 3-2(I'm fine with that) or 4-1(scary where that might put us for next year). But honestly the best part of the meet was my oldest daughter swimming breast. She wasn't going to get points due to other fast swimmers and came in 6th. But here's the thing. A couple years ago there was a meet where timers messed up her time and she got a ridiculously low time than what reality was. Even though it was a bogus time(it was official) she had never been able to match it in the meets and years since. Until today. She dropped her real personal best time(like legit time per 3 good stopwatches) to finally get under a time she had wanted to break for well over 2 years. The pure joy and happiness she had was just awesome. Just fricken awesome. I don't give a shit about the final score of the meet or that she was 6th. Her. Time. Dropped. And she was more proud of that than anything. #prouddad

Taking one for the team!! And just say you were in a bar fight and the other person looks a lot worse.

Water rescues in Arlington

Keep being fringed by storms to my north and east. But have .38” for the day

Just had a cell try to pop right over me but now is to my ENE

It’s really hard to see how these numbers hit. It’s so quiet now and not sure when it will get favorable.

Just got a quick .23” from a pop up. Was kinda cool how it just blew up after two outflows smashed into each other

Missed the storm that MN got. Plenty of thunder while is was mowing but fizzled out

I’m 5 deep on Miller lites and spent another 6 hours on the beach. Day 3 of sun, sand, fun. God I love the chessie bay

Missed every single storm yesterday here on the slower lower. Back home got crushed from what I heard. At least 1”

It’s gonna be a scorcher here at the beach today. Hoping the breeze is as good today as it was yesterday. And also hoping for some storms for early fireworks
