    Carrington event any day now, society will shut down causing global cooling and massive blizzards in 23-24. Storms everywhere. And rumors of storms.

    Look at these babies. Gorgeous coloring and growing very quickly. They do very well on Chaste which is no surprise since they both hail from the Mediterranean. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Where the F did this weather come from? 72F with equally low dewpoint, sunny with a slight breeze. This is easily the best weather day of the summer.

    Drought journal day 142. The drought continues to persevere. We received 1/2" more drought last night and it looks like more is incoming as we speak. We'll continue to press on.

    I was thinking, the bay is a pile of crap. In December it keeps temps too warm because of the warm water and then by spring we have this terrible cold onshore breeze where we're like 10deg colder than DC for days until the water starts to warm. Stupid bay.

    What's all these reports of cold temps? It's 67 here right now. Stupid bay.

    What's the impact if this hurricane season fails to materialize? My understanding is that hurricanes are basically engines that transport heat from the tropics to the poles. Without any hurricanes this year it seems like all that heat won't be transferred and will just sit in the tropical waters. Eventually something has to give, right?

    Wut!? At ease @mattie g these babies are too valuable to waste on fish. Those regalis are worth about $10 a piece. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Check these out. L4/L5 larvae of the Death's Head Hawkmoth. It puts the lotion on its skin. Ok back to my basement to continue sewing.... Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Not sure if there are any other lep lovers here. I had this girl eclose a few days ago. It's actually an eacles imperialis form didyma. The female has much more dark markings on the wing margins than regular imperialis. They're very rare around here. In 20yrs of rearing and collecting down in Calvert co. I've never seen a didyma. Luckily she paired with a wild males, I hope some of her offspring have the same trait. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    All the better in winter, fewer trips outside to fill. We have so many birds here that it usually needs refilling every 3 days or so. Stupid house finches just sit there and mow through it. At least the titmice, woodpeckers and chickadees have the decency to fly away with the seed to eat it (or hide it). I find little stashes of sunflower seeds in the strangest places.

    Yeah I have no idea how the first guy determined we weren't low on refrigerant. This guy hooked his pressure gauge up and was like duh it's low and he sniffed out a leak in the coil. Luckily it's under warranty so I just have to pay labor. At work when we have an unplanned shutdown we lose $3M worth of refrigerant each time. Doh! Sorry mod, just wanted to close the loop, last mention of AC problems here.

    Not monarchs but my regalis have started pupating. They're monsters this year. Not sure why they grew so huge other than copious rain and very hot. One of my females is 18 grams. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0007LQ3RQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I've had one of these for a couple years now and I can confirm it is 100% squirrel proof. They can't solve it despite hours of trying.

    Seems like cold front passed through. Was puking fatties for a bit and now the dewpoints have dropped down to Serengeti levels.
  20. IronTy
    Hmmmm.....one helluva cold front must be coming.

    Idk but the amount looks accurate for my house.

    Of all the winters I remember, 22-23 should stack up to be the most recent.

    That radar image was way more bark than bite. I'm not sure we even had a breeze. Looks like about 1.25" so far which pretty much means no chance of drought for the rest of the growing season. I'll take it. New roof has held up with no leaks either.

    Bring it on baby.
  25. IronTy
    Yikes that radar looks like I'm about to get my ass kicked.
