Watching a plane take off right now.  That cell was weird, it formed a bit ahead of the line and was stationary over the city for a few frames.  No rain but sustained 33 with a gust to 47.  Car was rocking a bit.  

can confirm it was pretty windy for a few mins, but now it's just some rain

Anyone think Costco's will be open tomorrow? Want to try and go chasing after work but I need to go to Costco 

crazy thought, but perhaps the fine people at Costco would know, rather than rando's here at amwx.

check their website, or you could even *gasp* call them

mosquitos are out of control this summer. i was under attack late afternoon yesterday as I was tending to some of my sprinkler heads. very annoying having to dodge the spray of the sprinklers AND the skeeters

and as of last night the deer flies are out. Last year they were so bad that when riding the golf cart through my trails i held up one of those electronic bug zapper tennis rackets and they just kamikazi'd themselves trying to get me. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzap!

ok this dewey shit can go away now. 72/70

barely got a rain shower last night, and got <0.1" yesterday morning.

The last thing anyone needs is more Oaks .

oh believe me, I am with you on that. i still have 100,000 growing in my lawn.

funny thing is, when I rake up the acorns, I chuck them in various spots in the woods. One year I had 2 dump carts full of them. Those never grow (probably deer food). but the ones that fall on my lawn, no problem growing and the stupid deer don't eat them.

87/75. grossness

A legit question/ concern.. last year being a huge mast year for acorns.. all along the edge of and even deep in the woods are new little Oak saplings. The kind you see in lawns that can be mowed. But I mean there’s hundreds, if not thousands in the woods.. way too many to pull . Will all of these become new Oak trees or will they die? I mean I’ve never seen this many before and it’s concerning 

They will crowd themselves out, don't worry the thousands will be down to the hundreds in like 10 years.

seriously though, I wouldn't worry about it. It's nature, baby!

65/62 here.  Good mosquito weather 

I got done planting a few things for the better half, went out back to have a beer and got carried away by the skeeters. unpleasant.

63/61 just had another rain shower. Summah!

57 with low clouds and drizzle. Certainly a nice mild morning here. 

and it is certainly steiny. Only picked up 1/2” of rain since last night.

Man some of you guys need to step away from the keyboard and look out the window. It’s June 28. this weather sucks ass

Did @Damage In Tolland get a hold of Tip’s keyboard?

Bizarre. Who ever heard of BDL running as the cool spot? They've really neutered a lot of these ASOS sensors. Ever since Trump took office, all of these big warm spots have suddenly disappeared. Makes it difficult to compare to recent past heat waves. They have them set on hard mode for this heat wave, and we're still throwing up big numbers.

Every once in a while I get a whiff of decaying and drying up (fresh) dog poop...usually it's not very pleasant but for some reason on a day like today its kind of refreshing...just further adds to this experience. 

WTF is wrong with you?

After a few mows they all seem to die off

usually it's 3-4 mows. It's been like 8 mows and they are still growing.

Another horrific acorn year is here. Picking up all these limbs and they’re loaded for bear  WTF

i have baby oak trees growing all over my lawn from last years acorns. I really don't want that again. i am actually kicking around the idea of taking down 3-4 big oaks in my yard. there will still be some, but those 3-4 trees make a ton of acorns and fall clean up is no joy with all those leaves.
