A heater would make it nice. But my pool is likely done for the season. Too bad since some nice weather upcoming. What does a heater cost to install and run?

What temp would you go swimming in now?

We used to go to my mom’s house in Jamestown RI for the Quonset air show practice (usually Blue Angels) They would be buzzing over her house a few hundred feet up. You could see their helmeted faces because sometimes they would be upside down.

Can we be done with the rains for just a little while?

We seriously had candy out in mid July here. Have not yet seen eggnog (but I haven’t looked)

I sorta wish you could get it in stores year round. Also, seeing Halloween candy displays in mid July has become the norm now. Pumpkinhead beer in early August.

My lawn never dried out much. Most summers by August my mowing would be in a cloud of dust. Never browned or got crispy.

Apparently the summer weather was a bonus for Mass apple growers, bad from other crops... from an article in the Glob the other day: "Happily, June’s heat and sun followed by July’s plentiful rain has yielded a healthy crop. “Apples are going to be big and juicy this year,” says Nicewicz. “The water helped their size.” At the same time, the rain was problematic for peaches, he says. “They lost some of their flavor with so much water and less sunlight. Bob Connors, fifth-generation owner of Connors Farm in Danvers, agrees: “The apple crop looks beautiful this year. Wish I could say the same about the cucumbers and tomatoes.” He explains that the early-summer heat wasn’t detrimental because the orchard got abundant water in July. “The trees never stressed,” he says. Water is critical, from rain or irrigation, when the fruit is sizing during summer months."

I saw a brief piece on it yesterday and just could not bear to watch it... I found it strange because earlier I could view those without getting as anxious as I have felt. Just a deep pit inside of me on that topic.

I can’t watch those anymore.

Mad respect for Jeter. As good as they get in baseball. Played hard. Seemed like a decent person.

Yup... just got to know how to separate the wheat from the chaff... not always easy, but doable. Wxtwitter can be interesting...lol

Absolutely.

Some of those teams were pretty good as well. 1976 for example

RIP Sam “Bam” Cunningham. An all time Patriots great.

Interesting move. Plaweki for Franchy.

Up to Raffy now

Defense has been horrible today.

Oof. Not the best ending.

They are awful at bunting

Let’s see if they can take advantage of an opening double

Just finished staining the pool deck we built last summer. The chances to do it this summer have been very few and far between. Too much rain and humidity. Did part of it on Saturday (a million balusters) and the rest today. Hopefully that small line of showers to my west dries up

Good stuff
