Nice cool breeze here. Making it a nice evening after being a hot day.

83/73 here with sun.

65 but humidity is at 90%. I am sweating after a short walk. Good night for a dehumidifier. It will run like an AC with the decently cool air and high humidity.

Cooling off fast. 75/66

That’s a great idea.

89/57 hot

85/71

Haha I figured that was coming after I read your post. If my wife saw a bear on the porch she would want to drive back to MD.

Yeah, dogs are loyal like that. There are many stories of sled dogs going after huge polar bears with no fear.

What kind of dog? Could it handle a bear out in the open? Sounds like it isn't scared at all.

We are going to be homeschooling the kids, which is what enables this multi-house setup we have going to work at all. Our school in MD is not showing signs they will be open with any regularity in the fall, so homeschooling was what worked best for us since my wife doesn't work a regular 9-5 (although what she does with the kids is beyond any job I could imagine doing). She got really pissed off at the Zoom calls and the lack of real learning in a remote setting during the shutdowns. She was basically already homeschooling them but we were paying 25k in tuition on top of it. Not workable for her. So we will be in Randolph most of the winter seeing how it goes and hoping the Internet holds out... kinda shaky compared to MD. haha My business is Federal government contracting. Basically we provide engineering support to Federal government customers, mostly DoD and HHS. The company mostly runs itself these days, I just watch from a distance and provide course corrections as needed.

I have long threatened to install a password-protected thermostat with the locked cage on top like they have in office buildings. But she let me buy a house in northern NH so I could never do that. LOL

Quiet you.

My wife would be dying at that temperature in the winter. My daughters would have gloves and hats on. We mostly ride at 70 year round. I would be good at 40 degrees all year myself.

Yes, I have learned the technique. I screwed up last heat wave by opening the windows and doors during the day to "get a breeze" which was a disaster. Now I open them at night to chill the place down and then seal up tight during the day,. Works well for the log home which holds whatever air it is given pretty well.

59/59 here. Randolph, baby. LOL

Stay strong, brother.

Picked up .70.

Pretty heavy t-storm here for the past 30 mins.

Fear is a very powerful motivator when people vote. Study past elections sometime.

They will just find something new. Also, since the media and politicians now know that people mostly accept shutdowns in the name of "public safety," expect this to happen again pretty soon with some other "risk to public health." The genie is out of the bottle.

Neat view from the base of wildcat.

I could have. It was open. Kids wanted waters. LOL

From the top of Cranmore today.

It was a terrible matchup for the Ravens. They had struggled with big strong RBs all season. Was really the only glaring weakness we had.
