    i have a 6500 watt portable generator that I plug into an outlet outside the house which goes to a transfer switch. it is super easy, and powers everything I need, heat, water (on a well), and most importantly internet. i could use microwave but don't because it is obviously a huge power suck, and can't use the stove/oven.

    I recently learned that whole house generators have a life span of around 20 years. a friend has had one for 20+ years, and it recently stopped doing its weekly test run, so he had a guy out to service it. Found a blown fuse, which he replaced. when he fired up the generator, the battery literally exploded. No diagnosis as the unit was well out of warranty and there was no guarantee that they could even figure out what the problem was.

    aside from the winds, it’s pretty damn nice out there this morning. glad the wind is drying out the grass so I can cut it today, but it’s a bit much right now. Hopefully it subsides a bit later

    grabbed a quick quarter inch here, the local vegetation rejoices

    for example both Sunday and Monday topped out between 800-900 watts/m2

    right now my station solar radiation is ~100 watts/m2 (whatever that means), with a UV index <1

    just took down the backyard canopy just in case. pretty much guaranteed that nothing will happen here, not that I was expecting anything but you never know. Those outdoor canopies like to become airborn in the slightest breeze

    not super hot (mid 80’s here) but the humidity is the real deal. My evening walk was a bad idea, fat guy sweats a lot.

    similar driving around MHT this afternoon. a couple areas hit 99 on the car thermo, but low to mid 90’s in others

    what will you be doing outside to enjoy your favorite weather?

    good luck. i have seen knotweed in my area, but not in my 'hood. but i do keep a close eye out for it. I hate the invasive crap. meanwhile, pretty much every beech tree in my 'hood is either dead or dying. sad, as I really like the look of beeches.

    i noticed the PI is thriving this year. i try to stay on top of it and spray it with a targeted weed spray every year (I use poison ivy killer, only targets viney stuff including oriental bittersweet), this year the plants are bigger with huge leaves. good luck with the knotweed, there are a bunch of different removal strategies out there (most are voodoo), but unless you use ROund Up or similar, you are unlikely to succeed

    he said noisy, not nosey

    f- that. it can be hot during the work week, but Friday is a holiday and I'd like to get some yard work done without dying.

    don’t waste your keystrokes responding to that troll. he does not post in good faith, never has.
