Maybe you should drop your photos in the fall photo thread. It's nice to find them easily and compare from year to year. Just a thought.

<RR> Is that a tunnel or just a hole? </RR> If not a tunnel, then maybe squirrels. They do that in my yard too.

It looks like you're getting a good soaking. We are getting some good thunder from that storm up here. I got lucky and put my seed down two weeks ago just before we got the 8 straight days of rain, and much of what's germinated gets its first mowing tomorrow. It's come in really well.

You're right. Traveling 70 west, from the Patapsco river bridge and points west, it's really thick.

At least he should be well-rested for the playoff push.

I'd put it down. Until it gets watered, it'll just sit there and there's no harm. Once it gets watered, then I'd try to keep it damp with a light spray in the AM and PM. It won't take much, especially because you've aerated. Enough seeds will find their way into the holes which is the ideal medium for germination, and that will happen with just light, persistent watering.

No big deal. He'll be there for next year's.

See Mappy's post above. But beer is good too.

2.82" for the event. 11.21" for September 59.61" for the year.

Ugh. Speaking of torture, where's Mattie with his correction fluid?

A lot of standing water because the ground is so saturated but we are into the lighter returns now so the ground should recover quickly. The thunder and lightning won’t quit though. It’s very impressive!

It’s a rough storm here but just to the east of here is getting lit up. What a great storm!

The line of storms just got here and blew up a transformer right behind the house. KABOOM! No power.

DCA: Nov 18 BWI: Oct 28 IAD: Oct 27  RIC: Nov 11 Tiebreaker: 4.92"

The NFL has lost its mind with these roughing the passer penalties.

Or both.

Just in time too! It’s been so wet that I am just getting around to aerating and seeding for the fall today. It’s good to see the board is back up.

I think the MARC Camden Line was closed all day due to high water, but I agree with you. Though I didn't see or hear any of it. It was the best night of sleep I've had in a long time...

3.6" for the inner harbor in a four hour period overnight. If anything happened here, I slept right through it.

I have so many great memories (and bad ones, like Clint Longley) of the Skins, their games, and their players, but whatever mystique they had to me has faded over the years. There are a lot of reasons that contribute to that, but a big one for me is that they lost something in the move from D.C. and RFK stadium to Landover and that concrete pit that they play in now. I remember as a kid going to a couple of games at RFK stadium with my Grandfather who had season tickets until his death in '71, and then I worked as a beer vendor for the last seven seasons there, and nothing compared to the atmosphere and fans of RFK. I was there for the seat cushion game and the rout of the Lions on their run to the Super Bowl, but even in the lean years, there was just something unique about RFK. I worked exactly one game at the new stadium and didn't go back because it was totally different and just felt off. I'm surprised that they've managed to have the support of the fans for as long as they have, but today, after over 50 years, they didn't sell out the stadium. And it wasn't even close. https://wtop.com/washington-redskins/2018/09/skins-sellout-streak-ends-boos-accompany-21-9-loss-to-indy/slide/1/

I think this weekend's weather has been great. I have the AC off, the windows open, and the ceiling fans are creating a gentle breeze throughout the house.

For the first time in what seems forever, it's finally dry enough to go out and attempt to tackle the yard. If I haven't posted again by tomorrow morning, please send a search and rescue team.

I'd wait because it's about to change.

Mattie is on a tear.

4.75" here. My yard is shaggy and the beds need a thorough weeding.
