    Over seeding in the spring is a bad idea. That is best in the fall, like now. Over seeding in the spring let’s the weed seeds get right into the soil.

    Ok, Ill revere my plan and do it now, I'll put down crabgrass preventer next spring, Never's been this bad, must have been the humidity.

    Those narrow streets packed with Italian restaurants and eateries are quite a vibe.  I dig it.  Got the Freedom Trail snaking through too.

    WE went on weekend in early summer, weather was perfect, all the vendors out with the fish and fruits and veggies, ate at one of the italian restaurants, great place to go on a nice weather weekend.

    We just found some place around Faneuil Hall… Oyster House or something to sit out on the street.

    I’m out looking for a lobster roll for lunch, ha.

    Chamber weather in the city.  If you need to walk around the urban zone, this is the weather for it.

    Oyster Bar? They have lobster rolls

    Yeah staying in North End, not far from the Garden.  My in-laws have never been to Boston oddly enough, so quick trip then onto Woodstock, CT for the weekend.

    I always have liked the North End… easy walk to almost everything too.

    Where you take them to eat?

    People forget that country’s first big and maybe best revival was in the 70s with the likes of the Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd etc. 
     

    Don't forget Molly Hatchett, that was some good country rock. Eagles were technically considered country too back then though they were more mainstream.

    He is talented for sure.  I just always thought it was more pop because of how it cycled through the wife’s Spotify playlist… I don’t do Spotify so not sure how it works but those songs are mixed in with her Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, etc.

    It is funny, like heat and dews… 10 years ago hate it.  Now at home some of that stuff she plays, I’m like damn, I don’t hate it, dare I say it’s easy upbeat music at times?

    64F, heading toward mid-40s tonight.

    A lot of current country is pop country and country rock.

    Brother's daughter/my niece goes to public school here in Bethlehem.  Every Wednesday is a half day.  No one know why, or for what.  If you drive by on Wednesday about 20 minutes after the kids depart on the buses, 90% of the teachers are also leaving.  The cumulative economic costs to the families and society cannot be overstated.  

    Some towns also close down business after a half day on Wednesday. I worked in Webster 20 years ago and I had never heard of a town shutting for a half day, must be for a break halfway through the work week to refresh, not sure if schools closed too but I think they did.

    I have been stung on 4 occasions this summer alone.

    We lost one of the golfers at the course this year when he got stung, he knew he was allergic and couldn't find his epi-pen in time. Too bad he didn't have it in his pocket at all times.

    It’s been known that high dews in Iowa  have been related to corn sweat.

    Makes perfect sense just never heard of it, they have acres and acres of corn fields out there so I could see how it would have an effect.

    I honestly am not not a fan of Kraft...I will give him credit for Belicheck, but otherwise I think he is cheap and more concerned with public image than winning. Having Brady for 20 years masked how much he sucks as an owner and now we are seeing it. Bill is gone and they still don't spend, so the idiotic notion that Bill was deciding how much they spend is put to bed. He massages his prostate to all of this "cap space", which is fake, anyway, at Orchids of Asia and does nothing with it.

    Make no mistake about it....cap is only an illusion for owners to rationalize being cheap....there are so many ways around that....owners that want to spend just keep restructuring deals to concvery money into a signing bonus.

    They spent more when Bill was here.

    Today? I’m 20 miles from the east slope and it’s been partly to mostly sunny all day.

    I poured beer most of the day for the fine athletes who competed in the Green River Marathon.   The entire course is mostly on unpaved country road that follows the Green River in the canopy of deciduous trees.

    It’s amazing how many runners immediately come and get a beer after they are done. Lol

    There’s  a guy who does it every year pushing his disabled son in a carriage set up.  Tears me up every year.

    Is that the guy from Brimfield, MA? He's a legend around here, can't remember their names off the top of my head.
