H2O

@vastateofmind @mattie g We had our TTs on Saturday and it went really well. Only swam our team as we have like 150+ swimmers. Its stupid huge. I think we had over 20 heats of free alone. But somehow we got that done in like 45 min and only took 3 hours to get completely done. We even had new S&Ts doing it with plenty of DQs so not like it went smooth. But its a crammed two months. B meets already starting tonight and then the grind sets in. We will have the usual pep rallies and team events and themes for each A meet. Getting enough people to volunteer can still be a chore. I had to pull people from the crowd for second shift timers cause people just don't sign up to help. Well if I gotta stand and time your kid then you can help stand and time your kid and mine. But some people are fun to be around and as long as you make it fun for others you can slog thru the long meets and hot days. And also destroy a diet with all the food you need to cram in during meets to live. Donuts, burgers, pizza. RIP my diabeetus, cholesterol and clothes.

Sun was much brighter and not as hazy here.

I’m a dummy for sticking with it. But just a couple more years and that’s another job I can retire from

NERDS!

Things we suck at: Getting cold Canadian air in to help snow in winter Things we are All Stars at: Getting shitty wildfire smoke in from Canada to create hellworld

TTs will still happen Saturday. Kids will be fine missing a day or two.

can the pollen report show ash as the main culprit?

oh it is. it did awesome this last winter

If smoke was a weather obs it would be SM+++++

Oh and to make mattie g even happier, my pool officially closed today.

Its a global conspiracy to make our kids smarter than us so they can argue at every turn.

Still time left to close schools for snow

Saw quite a few people wearing this morning. And also saw someone jogging. Smfh

Probably never. Not to this extent

It really is. The smell was about a 6 yesterday but now is like a 8-9

I have never seen as red of a sun as this morning Stepped outside and the smell is overpowering

Glad to see my hood making the list of places that are like an asbestos factory. Franconia 204

Gotta get those relays in before that train

We have an ice truck coming today so closing the pool would kinda suck. Kids come first tho. Closing for smoke at least is more valid than when our guards close for fake storms thats just airplanes taking off

Waiting to see if our pool opens but found out the swim team is optional for practice later.

Just got a code red AQ alert

Lemon lab shandy. Perfect for smokey summer days sitting around the pool wearing an oxygen mask to be able to breathe.

You aren't making bathtub gin that only tastes good when filtered thru an old gym sock so I'm sure yours is decent. If i made my own beer it would probably be like this
