New and creative ways each night. Barnes almost blew 3 games in two days with a home run but last night in Game 2 at least Kike caught it jumping into the wall. Guess we need a closer now too, along with a lengthy list of other stuff lol. Nothing like hiking listening to the radio feed, while getting soaked and having that spoil a walk through the mtns.

Just got fukked by the mountain pretty hard . Literally from like sunshine to the bowels of the atmosphere emptying on us on our hike. Middle of nowhere, no shelter either. Felt like a half inch fell in like 10 minutes. Completely drenched now at 3,500ft. The chaffing is going to be next level on the way down with wet shorts, ha.

This is amazing!

Local sportsball team scoring 6 or more runs for first time since July 21st is good to see…. Even though there’s plenty of time to screw this game up with Junkball G pitching.

The weather can be whatever you want it to be. Temps on the Macs and Dews in the Forests.

79/68 That inch of rain yesterday evening didn't help the dew situation. Lots of low level moisture today.

Everyone deserves to be themselves and be happy. 65/64 and 0.92” in the Stratus.

Was surprised with how persistent the band was. Initial edge was water logged, local PWS rates were 3-4"/hr to begin except for the lower village. Stratus had 0.92" and it seems the local stations like less than a mile north of here broke 1". 1-2 miles south west though was more like two-thirds of an inch. Very localized differences but a solid soak. Even some spots exceeding 1.5", especially west slopes. 1.25" at the base of the ski area.

Wonder if they had the AC running in Wedding Crashers.

Total roll reversal from when you were breaking your TV remote like 3 weeks ago and we were crowd surfing. This offense has completely shit the bed. 0 runs scored in the first game against the Blue Jays, lost 1-0. Once again good pitching in this evening game from Houck so far but again the offense has scored zero runs in 4 innings. They can't hit a beachball at this point.

They just stopped hitting in early July. I think they made it work and they were occasionally getting some decent starting pitching and the bullpen held it together. But since July 3rd they are 20th or worst in MLB in most batting categories. That's over a full month now of bottom 30% in the league in hitting. Scoring 6/7/8/9 runs a night can mask the pitching but once the core of the lineup went cold, you aren't going to win much by scoring fewer than 4 runs most of the time. Bogaerts is hitting like .220 since July 1st.

Equivalent of a 68F or so at an ASOS. But yeah, got stuck inside this evening. Almost an inch of rain so far. Stratus inner tube almost full, thunder for like 90 minutes now.

Tough when you need to fall back on your dews to get off on summer weather .

We bang.

Yeah that set the Mansfield stake November record… and it was hefty snow. That base lasted all winter. Glade skiing from November to May. There was a solid dense like 24-30” on the ground even at 1500ft. A very sharp gradient was present around 1200ft. Snowvember was the term in ski country.

It’s 60F along the CC golf course and river. 63F in the lower village by Publuc Safety building, 65F in the 1400ft pocket of the upper west branch, and 73F in well-mixed 1500ft Spruce base area. 13F difference depending on low elevation/calm vs high els./wind.

The smell that turns on all ladies… vinegar and egg. They’ll “eat” that up. Trust me.

On another note, Alex Cora needs to find something to blow up over and get tossed from a local sportsball game soon. Maybe someone starts a fight. Get in an umps face, get pissed off and run from a game. These guys need a fire lit under them.

I screw up the traffic lights all the time. I’m better with street signs. If I were them I’d do something fun, like chickens.

Not aimed at Phin, quote for good idea… This goes for anyone stressed about COVID (restrictions or sickness, equal levels of stress these days it seems) or even any daily life stress at all. Two things linked to lower stress…. Outdoor activity and dogs. Get a dog, go outside and find something to laugh about…. Sounds like a goddamn Men’s Health article but it’s true. I know some think I just hike mountains all day but believe it or not I do work and THEN grab the dog and head outside for a couple hours each evening. If anyone thinks they are the only ones who get stressed over work, ha! 6-8pm this time of year (or 4:30-6:30am) are the golden hours this time of year. Get outside, big fan. Even something as simple as floating around a pond in a kayak, wandering some local naturalist trails, take the kids, whatever. The head clearing is incredible when you are outside in the water, woods, etc. Highly recommend. And dogs. Everyone needs more dogs. Ginxy knows. </end camp counselor hippy bullshit from a white bread suburban kid who found the outdoors peaceful>

Huge fan of pickled eggs. Fantastic protein and nutrient packed snack with a tang.

And HubbDave never returned to Worcester County ever again. He ended up buying the Air Bnb.

Definitely feeling hot and humid after the last 7-9 days. Yesterday as expected a week ago was the last of the dews in the 50s. 82/63 now. Oddly very hazy. Not quite the smoke show but visibilities 6-9sm at the ASOS all day.

I've got those fukkers set to "don't auto-update"... good way to ruin your day when that thing updates overnight and you wake up and are like WTF is this?

Not only that but they trust medicine. They trust the process. Just as they dispense prescriptions to people and schedule procedures, many that have side effects. Medical professionals trust the process.
