Ant and James need a vacation on the BM

I hear the Gulf Stream is lovely this time of year!

Got off the commuter rail at Ruggles Station to find a coating on the platform . . .

. . . of salt!

Enjoying my coating, it's the only coating I've got! 

2001 Serotta CSi, 2005 Serotta Legend Ti and this year jumped on the all road bandwagon, No. 22 Drifter.   All Campagnolo.  This year was the Last Bike Ever.  (Until the next Last Bike Ever....)  Anything ever happens to the Legend frame I know who's building the replacement.  The crew over in Johnstown is *really* good.  However, the Legend isn't going anywhere anytime soon... I got flicked by a nice lady going about 45 in a Mustang one time and it took another three years for the rear dropout to crack which was the main point of contact.  Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
You ride?

 
Cliffs are not a good place for weenies to be walking in the winter of 18-19.  Not good at all.

OT but how about Liverpool!!!

Nice Winter surf day. Great pics

Okay, I've taken a stab at verses one and two . . . have at the rest!

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are all wet
You're as snowy as  the tropics, with your subtropical jet, Mr. Grinch
You're a roaring sou'easter and you're making us fret!

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch
Our ground is bare and brown
Your rain will leave us flooded, and our sorrows we must drown, Mr. Grinch
But Kev will still be happy if all his trees come tumbling down!

[Verse 3]
You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile!

[Verse 4]
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You're a nasty-wasty skunk
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote
"Stink, stank, stunk!"

[Verse 5]
You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch
You're the king of sinful sots
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
Assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable, mangled up in tangled up knots!

[Verse 6]
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super "naus"!
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

Woke up to a coating. But what is this spot? New to home ownership. Dryer vent is on the other side and septic is on the other side of the lawn.

Looks like a Yeti shadow!

Nice result yesterday at Anfield. 

Mowing and mulching the leaves has revealed just how massive this year's acorn drop is in our neighborhood.  I suspected it was large, but not this large.  There are spots where there are so many acorns that it is like walking on a floor of ball bearings.  Now the squirrels have taken to shelling the acorns and leaving half eaten nuts all over the yard.  Not sure what that is about, but that is a new one for me.  Ten years in this house, and this is by far the biggest acorn season ever.  However, I have absolutely no idea what it means for the upcoming winter except that we will have fat, well fed squirrels.

What is a good estimate for the ending time for snow in the Boston metro area?  I'm running law school exams at 9:00 tomorrow morning, and I'm sure some of our students will be looking for any excuse to postpone.

Big oak down three houses down from us. Fortunately it fell just the right way to miss house, wires and street. Our handyman is up cleaning our roof now. Hope his boots have good grip.

Delightful day in Manchester UK. 60s and sunny, couldn't ask for a better day for some football. Man City winning 5-0 didn't hurt either.

Only down to 40 again this morning.  Still haven't dropped into the 30s, but I suspect that is about to change.  Heading to England tomorrow night, and the weather in Manchester looks delightful for football on Saturday!

NC Hurricane right?

First night in the 40s here. Low of 49. Lovely crisp morning!

Looks like a nasty swath of rain from PVD to GHG last night.

I can vouch for that.  I was driving up route 24 between 11:30 and midnight, and it was some of the heaviest rain and worst driving I have seen in a while.  Wanted to pull off into the breakdown lane a few times, but I was afraid someone wouldn't see me and plow into the car.

95/76. Lol.

Same at OWD.  HI = 108.

So how we looking?  Major threat to New England incoming?

I don't worry until James says it is OMINOUS!  Like in August . . .

That's Norwood Airport ASOS.

And it is located in the Neponset River watershed swamp.  I take the commuter rail from the 128 station nearby, and the humidity is truly disgusting.  I like to bike to the train from Randolph (about 7 miles) in the summer, but I've really had to cut back this year.  I'd have to get there an hour before my train so I'd have time to stop sweating. 

78 was my low at home.  Hideous morning!

OWD is 90/76.  Glad I'm at work in the city since Logan is only 90/73.

75 Sept was brutal, first year of college, rain and cold was an eye opener walking for the first time from dorm to class to class.

Ah, brings back fond memories of mud season(s) in Kingston!  Lovely walks up and down the hill.
