  1. yeah, I've needed AC - but only in the car house hasn't needed it; windows and fans at night, had a fleece vest on this morning (62/61F at 6:30 am) wheeling the cans to the curb for Friday pickup currently 76/65F IMBY
  2. took care of the yellow jacket nest last night after dark and taking advantage of the lower dews I finished this masterpiece today: l lawn hasn't looked this good since June
  3. 64/64 here, windows open last night looks like dews will be dropping through the end of the week - good news
  4. Mowing today, did not finish, ran over the second yellow jacket nest of the season. Will need to work on that after dark. Lawn has come back nicely, now that cooler weather and lower dews have arrived.
  5. are those the ones on Kettle Pond? As we were exploring the area, we noticed that Kettle Pond had a bunch of lean-tos that you could only access by paddling or hiking in.
  6. There was no cellular data at the campsite unless it was between midnight and 6:00 am so I didn't get to post during, but did want to post a couple of photos I got from the trip: Hiking up Washington (with my "adult" children) from Lakes of the Clouds: Fox lean-to in Big Deer State Park. Vermont has the best lean-tos, hands down. Glad we had it too, it rained 2 of the 3 nights we were camping, and one of them was a full on thunderstorm with at least an inch of heavy rain:
  7. Wow, what a find. Absolutely the quietest place I’ve ever been. Dead silent at night. I recommend.
  8. Had a window seat at Red Rose on Main Street when it went though and posted about the hail. just about everone in the restaurant was looking out the windows when it was whipping, it was quite exciting for a minute or two, there was quite a bit of foliage flying around from the wind and hail. Had a few route detours due to downed trees and emergency vehicle calls we had to navigate on way back from dinner.
  9. Wiz was right- Springfield rocked while he’s at Fenway
  10. Street trees down in downtown Springfield blocking streets
  11. currently 77/75 in the 'hood, not a good day to work outside if you don't like being drenched in sweat
  12. Last year we stayed down by Killington in Gifford Woods. This year the kids wanted to check out the White Mtns. but NH camping options really lag Vermont in both quantity and quality, so picked a location where we could get there within about an hour's drive, and still be within easy reach of Burlington, which is always on my list when in the area.
  13. best deal ever, 140+ bucks cash tax free for a 200 mile round trip
  14. Lean-to at Big Dear next week Monday-Thursday. I was hoping to get an on-water lean-too at Ricker Pond but waited too long to make the reservation.
  15. me too, there is no cell service at the camp ground (kids are going to freak when they find out)
  16. heading to VT next week for camping with the kids, weather looking good !
  17. they can present lots of information efficiently
  18. I don't have a home weather station, but have thought about how I would site one if I did. If they come with the ability to places the various sensors in different locations, I'd have the rain sensor in my garden, the temp and RH sensor in the back yard over the lawn where it is open to the sky but shaded by tall trees to the south, and the anemometer would go on the roof to get above the numerous trees and obstructions down at ground level.
