Itstrainingtime

You're welcome Phillies fans! Your team is now clear of Atlanta by 10 games after we dispatched them tonight.

44-22 and 2nd place. Yankees aren't messing around.

Out for a walk and quite a few people are wearing hoodies or light jackets.  

Why?

What is HR ITT doing over your way? 

Not wearing a hoodie, I'll tell you that.

We had a mowing competition 

I mowed over the weekend. I'm still working on getting back into mowing shape.

Canderson has them finishing about 70-92 and I say they (Red Sox) finish around 84-78

Canderson was being negative?

Say it ain't so!

Yeah it should be fun to watch. Phillies have the Red Sox for 3 games prior so don't know. 

You can battle it out with @canderson @Bubbler86 first before dealing with me this weekend.

Good weekend weather coming up. Take it easy on us @Itstrainingtime when it is the O's / Phillies this weekend!

I wouldn't be surprised if you come in and sweep. For years, when the O's were just godawful we would play the Phillies really tough. Won a lot of the series against them. It would only figure that now that Baltimore is very good that the Phillies come in and dominate. Also, there will be as many if not more red in the crowd than orange...the weekend is sold out and I can guarantee that people from the Delaware Valley scooped up the seats. 

MOD risk of Excessive Heat next week: (sorry, @Atomixwx)

Warm/AN but a not a heat wave unless MDT sneaks up to 90 a few days which is very possible.  Just not the near 100 temps that the CMC was showing earlier.   Not dry as a bone either looking at the whole week though no soakers.   CMC and GFS both have some rain 2-3 days of the week (going beyond your Thursday comment.)   This Friday looks favorable for many to get some rain though not enough IMO.

Low of 57.  Next week looks to bring the real heat, just in time for our annual summer party.  Onward. 

Models vs Forecasts - CTP has a string of low to mid 90s beginning on Monday, MU is also all in on hot weather next week.

The real interesting day to me is this Saturday...forecasts are WAY above what the GFS is showing. Local forecasts are for mid 80s here.

You gotta do what has to be done, so the Bears are victorious. 

Speaking of which, here's some rarely seen footage of Bubbler at his company's Christmas party last year: (no word from the Bears yet if Bubbler will be a healthy scratch tomorrow night or not)

It is 56 degrees at 9AM only 4 days from being 1/6 of the way through Summer.  

Over here, flip those numbers around - 65 at 9AM.

The Bears scored with 49 seconds left fwiw....to make the whole thing way worse giving up the tying goal 17 seconds later.  Bears issue is the injuries. Hopefully they get Dube and Frank back.

All 3 games in Hershey - either team could easily have won all 3. Cleveland has played very well outside of game #3.

Orioles on pace to win 110 games.

And that would get them a wildcard.

In case anyone is hungry today.

For years I made the "mistake" of going at dinner - "supper" around our parts. Very, very good. And then, maybe 10-15 years ago a coworker wanted to meet with me and suggested that we do so over breakfast. "Breakfast?" I replied, wondering why people would go eat eggs and bacon when you can get eggs and bacon anywhere...

Oh how I was wrong. One trip for breakfast and I was hooked. You all do an amazing job over there...and breakfast is best. 

71 at 12:20pm. Lunch outdoors today. 

Had to run an errand - it is a postcard morning. Love the contrast between the deep blue sky and the puffy cumulus deck. Stunning day.

Low of 57 here.  No rain over the weekend.  I mowed yesterday but that will likely be the last time for a while.  My yard is already looking a little rough in spots and if these next two weeks play out as advertised all of our yards will be in the toilet.

And every indication that I've seen points to July and August being even drier than June...

Lots of sandbars visible in the Susky here. 

Doesn't the Susky flow south? Listening to Blizz it's like he's had 12" of rain the past few weeks. Where is his water going?

ITT has already banged 2-3 90's.   GFS says no heat wave until late June which is a bit surprising. 

ITT and MU coming in with 2 each so far - I think Pillow's got at least 3.

No joke. If every summer day were todays I’d be perfectly content with a 4 month summer!

We went and bought a new car to celebrate lol 

Congratulations. Always a good day!

Eb nooners.  77 at el rodeo in Hanover.  No wait for a seat.  Starlight diner has a 30min wait.

 

 

Thought you might end up at Caledonia today - we thought about it.

A finer June day would be hard to come by. Beautiful morning!

Sunny and 80 at 12:45pm.

The MLB thread has exhausted me.

Nobody is catching you if you can take close to three weeks off and still have the field lapped. 

 

For any on here that are into auto racing, this competition is the single largest ass-kicking since the 1985 Daytona 500 where Bill Elliott lapped the entire field. 

Was that during the Dick Trickle era? 

I'm going to mow this afternoon for the first time in 18 days. It will be mow #13.

Gertrude 73 / Hilda 66?

I've been busy lately. 

A very sticky morning - I expected it to not be cool yet, I did not expect to walk out to the car banging a 73/66 earlier.
