You guys got a lot of water down here.

The old railway/trail at the Thompson Dam in NE CT that’s usually like 5 feet out of the water is completely gone.  Water up into the tree canopy.  I honestly think last summer that thing was almost 10 feet out of the water with dried mud around.

 

For reference:

It was, my wife likes to walk on the trails and we take the dog.

Going to be dewy end of the week, not hot by humid.

My dog woke me up early this morning to go out and it was a deluge, she decided she would wait until later in the morning to go out. Getting ridiculous.

I hate the city sometimes.

2 hour limit.

paid meter. went out and paid meter again. they still ticket me and say it's over limit because I didn't move spots.

F&*(K

I have a love/hate relation to the city, hate the traffic and tickets (have a few) but love the restaurants and night life. It can get boring out here in the country.

Spending a week in the White Mountains in August.  Looking for recommendations for golf courses. Thank you in advance.

Mt Washington, nice course, pretty cool when you hit your drives you can follow the ball easily with the mountains as a backdrop, around here I lose the ball in the sky/clouds.

LOL, not sure about "90%" but point taken.

I mean, some of these ball rotations exceeded 3,000 rpm.  90% is 2700 ... I get what you mean, but these asshats were not spinning the ball at those rates in summer heat and sweaty hands.  No way...  2700 + rates doesn't likely happen without more significant mechanics assist - like an unnaturally tight grip while shortening one's career through medial epicondyle ligament damage, in order to realize glory and money now.  Hahahaha

I exaggerate for effect.

I never said he was a scrub. Good pitchers have always had great games. I just think he’s come back to reality a bit since losing the tack.

The pitchers reliant on spider tack seem to be adjusting, it was probably 90% in their heads.

Me neighbors veggie garden is going bonkers last coupler of weeks, I didn't get one in this year due to unforseen circumstances, looks like I missed a good year.

I have come across that sounding before!!

That is like something a severe weenie would dream of lol. Storm tops would probably punch well into the mesosphere  

I think the most severe, deadly tornado was in Pakistan or India.

India/Bangladesh/Pakistan gets unbelievable tornadoes and severe weather. Worth a google 

Now your going to get Wiz chasing in India

Some decent ones coming through now, looks better to my south.

DCAPE is pretty impressive. With that and the steep llvl lapse rates certainly can’t rule out a decent amount of wind damage reports. 

Looks like CT and RI shore gets the worst, you buying that Wiz?

I'm going for 4 days in August, should be cool near the ocean.

One of my labs would get nervous and shake when she heard thunder or fireworks, took her awhile to calm down afterwards, my current dog just dives under the desk until it's over.

I don’t think I would replace engine . Average replacement for Kia Optima is 5k and I owe 5K still , it also has 125K miles as I do 15-18k per year . 

I would likely just eat the payments over the next two years as they are low (240$) and lease something for 3 years that is dependable , bc I think I could do a new lease for 300 -350 month and then I could swing the double monthly payments for a bit . 

Should still have some trade in value, not much if engine is seized but maybe you got lucky and it's something less severe, think positive.

My brothers cat brought four bunnies home, one each day for 4 days, damn things are everywhere but they're good eating.

So a question about my refrigerator...

I noticed the other day the fresh food portion was freezing all of my food (freezer is on bottom). I noticed the fridge is permanently running. I cleaned it out underneath and made sure the coils weren't frozen...check. I made sure the fan was running and pulling heat away from the compressor...check.

However the damper in the fridge was permanently open. I took it apart tonight and it's a simple mechanical damper with thermistor.

So I'm assuming this part failed. Either the damper physically broke or something failed with the thermistor. My question is, would this possibly cause the compressor to keep running and cold air to keep blowing? With the damper permanently open I would think it would still get cold enough to stop kicking the compressor on and blowing cold air. But if the thermistor is fried it may be thinking it's continuously too warm in there and the damper stays open and compressor keeps running? I just figured the compressor ran based on a thermistor in the freezer portion and not the fridge part, but I'm not exactly an expert with these things. I thought maybe someone here has an idea and could help. It's an older Maytag, but it's a Whirlpool part too.

 

edit...just turned up the setting on the freezer and the compressor and blower kicked off. So maybe that's running normal and there's just too much cold air escaping into the fridge part forcing it to keep running?

Did you make sure under the fridge is clean and no dust or pet fur? Happened to us once but I just called the fridge repair guy to fix it since it was under warranty, damned if I remember what he did though.
