Beautiful morning here. Less humid and much cooler. And where did the .04” in the gauge come from?

Man. The short, short range models were dead on. A few hours ago, I thought for sure I’d see some action. At least bring on the cool down.

Avery is awesome.

Not doing too badly over the past 36 hours. We’ve gotten .42” and a lot of seeds germinating in the garden.

Nice training storms from south to north. Someone’s going to jackpot today.

I read awhile back about a December start to next year with a full season and no all star break.

Something has to be up with baseball. The Os released 30 some players so contracts must be getting done. I'm hoping they still have the playoffs. The good news would be that with a bye, the Caps can’t get bounced in round 1.

^^^^ This week could well bring more rain than last week when we were initially expecting 2+ inches at a minimum.

I wouldn’t upset anyone if I dropped by some afternoon or evening?

What an absolutely amazing weather day. Totally perfect. @Eskimo Joe and any other fishermen... Any good ponds In the area that you can recommend? Totally catch and release unless it’s snakehead.

Roses here also exploded. They were laying down yesterday from the rain and blooms.

Picked up a little more rain overnight, but nothing like areas east of here. Ended up with .72” which is way better than it looked a couple of days ago. The garden is happy.

Too humid in those fields! BWI: 101 DCA: 99 IAD: 98 RIC: 100

0.23” so far. I’d be pretty happy to eke out another half inch.

You’re right, but that’s a more localized brood 9. The more extensive east coast brood 10 is next year. https://wtop.com/local/2020/05/dont-bug-out-2021-will-see-emergence-of-trillions-of-cicadas/

Finished up the planting here today and hoping for some good soaking rains to help things along. Unrelated, but while I was out working in the yard today, it occurred to me that this year’s maple seed production was really low. Normally we get inundated by helicopter seeds from the maple in the front yard, then I spend the rest of the year pulling saplings out of the garden. This year, I had very few fall. I don’t even have to clean the front gutter. Maybe the late heat and mini drought are the reasons. Regardless, I’m good with it.

Next year. But can you imagine a couple hundred years ago if there was a pandemic one year followed by the cicadas? I bet a lot of people would get religion really fast.

Beautiful out here now. This is the weather I was imagining for more of this week. Sunny skies, breezy, and tropical clouds moving backwards across the sky.

Pulling wire in new construction is okay work, but I’ll bet you were in an old house. Not so fun.

Happy Birthday, @H2O May your faucets forever flow.

The 6z gfs would make me sad.

Trying something from my deep past tonight. A vodka gimlet. Keep up the beer reviews. A lot that I haven’t tried and I like hearing what you all have to say.

Is anyone else watching the Frontline episode after the Mr? Tornado show?

Sir Fujito was a beast.

So dang cool.
