I’ll be impressed if Worcester can pull off triple digits. I’m guessing it will be more like 96-97 type deal. 

It almost never happens.   Like it has only happened once I think. 

Meanwhile, a top ten day and weekend for sure

What are some of your rainfall totals MTD? 
.63 here 

Recession after several huge surplus summers 

Around 1.2-1.5” at different stations in my town. 

Just finished (almost) staining the pool deck.  Should be good to go on Tuesday

Cute little cell to my W-SW.  rumbling thunder.  

 I’m seeing multiple forecasts of 95-97 here for a couple of days next week.  Those are rare.

congrats!

Still need to be there until the 18th but then, let the pigeons loose!

The heat is perfectly timed!  Schools out, pools in!

No mosquitoes or deer flies here yet thankfully. The heat next week will bring 'em

I’ve killed 1 deer fly so far this year during yard work or dog walking.  They will show up.  Mosquitoes have been surprisingly low.

Was it last year you were roasting?

Early June of 2023 we were in the lower 90s at work, but I don’t think it was really as bad as I’ve seen.  I think it was low dews at least?  
there have been other years when it got brutal.

School ends tomorrow and I realized there weren’t any heat days announced by the district. Usually there is stretch where they either let out kids early or provide notice to stay hydrated and dress comfortably. That hasn’t happened. It’s been a great warm-low dew spring for sure. 

It has been great for school here.  A couple of warm days and 1 muggy day.  A couple more upcoming, but no big deal

It’s there and it’s spectacular 

You know how things go.  This will moderate a bit.  Heat incoming but I wouldn’t buy the crazy stuff yet…yet

 Bring on the heat after June 17

Front wheel...  It's not an EV or even hybrid.   But the car's tip top at 160K miles.  I've put ... maybe 1200 or 1500 in it in routine maintenance, which went as far once as a caliper/break job which was my fault so not discrediting the car for that.  Mainly just new tires when needed, and I was buying low grade ones until I smartened up about that.  Those say 10,000miles but you really get maybe 5 before the Mass/state inspectors flag you for interior tread wear or some shit. Better off ponying up for the 30k (minimum mileage), and you'll get 4 or 5 years of inspections. 

So basically what I'm saying is that I've been very happy with my Toyota. It runs smooth, and handles great.  There are minor complaints, like some of the touch screen functionality of the console don't work anymore but I don't need that ...it's certainly not worth looking at new car for that.  Plus one of the back speakers can't handle base without buzzing.  Minor unremarkable inconveniences. 

That all said, I am interested in looking at Toyota for hybrid on my purchase.  The only trick is... I don't like buying new cars.  I prefer to purchase them about 30K with good car-fact heritage documented.  I'm not sure that's advisable with battery tech though. I'd go full EV but...I think there's a chance society will collapse and charging might become a problem when/if that dystopian projection takes place. heh. ( some truth to that... ).

The newest Camry is something I would actually consider after having SUVs for a while. AWD, amazing mileage (45mph), roomy, tons of tech. Bullet proof drivetrain.  
I’m still a few years away but seriously considering one.

Went to rietta this morning.. which was insanely busy then hiked wachusett.. it was a little warm but a good day for it

The Rietta traffic was pretty busy.  I try to avoid it on Sundays but not many options.  

Hiked Watatic this morning.  Getting a bit hazy but not bad.  Few bugs.  

Low of 41 here

no big heat in sight.  We take through June 18th please. 

Hmmmmm

I’ve noticed full leaf  out takes 2 months in SNE. Starts late Morch and ends mid - late Mayorch. It happens in 2 weeks in NNE. Interesting phenomenon. 

Early May to mid May here.  

75/53.  Just bottle this up and keep sending it

67/65 @ 8:45pm.  Installed!!  Otherwise it would have been extra sticky night.

Shut our AC units off. 64/56 at the moment.  

FIT at 85/58 at last hourly update.  Not bad.

Some flooding in Gardner MA earlier.  Meanwhile, one town over, not a drop here.

On my way home I saw a ton of lightning and had torrential rain.. I guess that's a win

That line fell apart here.  Maybe we get that one to the south.
