So what does it take to finish off the yellow jackets for the season? Mid 20s?  Lower 20’s? 

We have already had multiple mornings  below freezing here and several in the upper 20s yet they’re still going.  

Hate the bastards. Out in force today. Usually try to avoid but so fed up I'm actively crushing them in my hands. Their season seems to be getting longer.

You be you Scott. No need to knock me down like Kevin does. We shall score. 

I'm on the Ginx train. He's done a pretty good job the past few years.

3 days of drizzle adds up to about a third of an inch of rain.

You walk outside right now. All you hear are crickets chirping . Loudly . And muggy as balls. You use a roll of TP per sitting too with no installs in

Fellas, I’m a deer hunter and we are all hoping for a temperature drop, like, a couple normal OCT/NOV high and dry NW wind days … not gonna happen, is it? 

It's unreal nothing is moving in this warmth. I hardly have anything on my game cameras.

is it baldpie or piebald?

Yeah Piebald

Speaking of game cameras. Got a piebald the other day. First one I've ever seen.

I used to hunt them as a kid and just had to try one, it wasn't bad, bet they make a good stew. Not sure if the weather has had some effect but I have a colony of squirrels in my yard every day.

Yeah the squirrels are absolutely nuts this year. Keep tripping my game cameras. Might have to make some Mulligan...

Gross

1. Cook squirrels slowly in large pot with just enough water to cover the squirrels. Add butter and salt and cook until tender. Cool.
2. Remove meat from bones and return to stock. Add potatoes, onions and celery. ...
3. Add tomatoes, corn, pepper and sugar. Bring to a boil. ...
4. Serve with green salad and garlic bread.

Murky.

Probably drunk enough that he can extinguish any embers with his socks.

Even the driving range looks nice today.

Nice shot of WaWa in the background there....was gonna say that is Green Hill course, but I don't think so after studying the pic. Not Wachusett CC either.

Highfields in Grafton.

For late October we'll take it.

29.3F for the morning low.  Coldest of the season...    die bugs die

Not here, every tree I cut the yellow jackets come around. Not sure what they're after in the wood. Only happens in the fall.

Early next week looks to blow

just took care of the wasp nest by burning it.  worked like a charm.

Yellow jackets were out in force yesterday. Last hurrah hopefully. Bastards...

Another inch of Stein.

This is a story about self-respect and tradition and honoring long-gone parents; about lover turning against lover, mother against child.

In other words, this being October in New England, this is a story about turning on the heat.

If we were a less swaggery state, Sept. 15 could be considered the legitimate kick-off to the heat season. That’s when landlords are required to make sure their residential properties are at least 68 degrees during the day and at least 64 degrees at night, per the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code.

But to quote every local still rocking shorts and a Dunkin’ iced coffee and vowing to hold off until Nov. 1, “ya, no.”

I feel for Mike judge, 0 for 8 with a walk and seven strikeouts. At least he has the 52 home runs and Family Guy to look back on.

Shame about the Yankees today. They played such a great game.
