What an enjoyable sleeping night in NE CT. Windows wide open and 50s right now.

I love them, great view of the dugout and we are the section right behind the camera well. I mean I guess you swivel your head but you do it to look in any direction. I’m staring at Vazquez at 1st base. The seats are angled in a bit but if they were angled more you’d have to look over your shoulder to see the outfield. This is dead ahead. Great view of the infield and Sanchez messing up that double play. Dugout starts at the railing on the left.

Great weather for a ball game. Wanted to see what a dumpster fire looks like, but it’s Ortiz night after his HOF induction so at least there’s something fun. Free tickets help too, ha. Hopefully not the last time I see Bogaerts.

That escalated quickly.

Oh man what a difference in CT from yesterday evening. BDL dew of 57F is a lot different than 74F yesterday when golfing. Almost a 20F dew drop. Feels fresh and dry. My folks shutting A/C off and opening them up.

Looks like dews got to the lower 50s at home this evening. Big change to go from a few of 69F this morning to 52F this evening, alas not there to enjoy it. 63/57 currently at MVL… while it’s swampy in NE CT. Probably only a couple miles from DavisStraight as the crow flies to be honest, ha.

I had to chuckle to myself how empty the course was (literally only 3 groups playing) and my folks said these humid days it’s dead. Maybe it was the chance of storms that kept folks away, but all I could think of were posts on here from some certain folks saying how much people love high humidity for summer outdoor activities. It’s basically beach or bust though in that line of thought. Folks did not seem stoked to rush out and golf this afternoon in the swamp air .

With that said, I came down to CT this morning a couple towns over from the Electric Blue, and god damn it felt like a steam bath today. BDL had a 74F dew at 1pm and on the golf course it felt all of that. Just soaked in sweat. Wasn’t “hot” but man those 70s dews are gross. Golf game was ok, but felt like playing in Florida humidity.

Yeah the RH values tell the story on several of the afternoons. There were 30-40% RH around the ASOS stations.

At $17.5 million that’s right in my price range, ha. But wow I never heard or have seen that. Cool house idea. The real estate market around here is absolutely bonkers. In under 10 years our townhome value has like quadrupled. If I had somewhere to go, I’d put ours on the market for something outrageously high and see if anyone would bite. I remember seeing the place Phin got in NH… the space in square footage, build quality, the views, the property, etc and the price. People in Stowe are buying like 900 square foot condos for what Phin got his pad for. It’s madness.

~0.70” overnight and still raining.

There can be some wild lapse rates at times from ORH to BDL and BOS.

Has BOS been questioned lately?

I think most of us appreciate the perspective of some supporting info rather than a poster just saying the data is bad. You seemed to take that personally .

Going big today.

90/70 at 10am in E.MA is pretty wild. That's hot.

The pattern flip to markedly higher summer heat/humidity has been very noticeable. The the May-June-early July period was pleasant. Didn’t use the A/C then, but this recent stretch has been enjoyable in the sense that we finally have ditched the louder window/wall unit style game and are able to make use of the quiet heat pump system. The money is worth it now, the technology is better too. Quality of life rising, ha. A/C didn’t seem necessary up north, 10-15 years ago especially… the first half of this warm season reminded me of what I remember then. Perspective drift over the years can very much happen though.

Looks like 88F here for a max off a min of 56F.

That explains the lack of hustle… had one of those college dorm room stoner revelations about how small human life is in the universe

That's some good stuff there.... those gusts around 1:05 and onward are wild.

Yeah it’s pushing that definition when in the 90s. But the RH is there .

DAW 95/57 for 28% RH. Falling into COC RH territory, haha. CON at 93/56 for 28% RH too.

That’s my face when I found out the Red Sox used to hold parades when they lost in the playoffs . 85/59 at noon. Torcher.

We need to go back to the time when the Red Sox we’re holding massive parades for losing. The golden days of the organization. When the fan base loved them no matter how many times they lost, loveable losers. Almost a million people turned out for a Red Sox parade they held after losing the 1986 World Series. What a wild time, can you imagine holding a parade today, in Boston, after a bad loss in the World Series… and fans were like “I’m here to show them how much we care about them win or lose.”

Low of 56F this morning and already in the 80s by 10am. Going to be a hot one.
