And there is your severe season.

Pond update?

Pretty much the same with me. Reed is the other current guy I don't like. I've never had an issue with Ian Poulter though many don't like him. Back in the day I never had a problem with Nick Faldo and like him as an announcer. I never cared for Vijay Singh either.

I'd say character related. The thing is, there are tons of obnoxious jerks on the Tour. In fact, you could argue that you need to be pretty self -centered to make it there to begin with. It just seems like he is a notch above the the average jerk.

I have started to dislike him more and more. I'm not sure why

1.64" over the last 3 days with over an inch coming yesterday. Pretty manky right now 66°/64°

Had a real close lightning strike about 20 minutes ago. Heard a pop like a balloon popping immediately followed by a huge crash of thunder.

Had some loud thunder and relatively close lightning. Power just blinked out too. For a while, the rain seemed like catpaws. Radar looks like we will be in it for a while too. Tuesday night golf cancel

Now that's classic NNE summer weather!

I thought you meant you've never bitched your way to big totals.

So you were fine before the 100" in 30 days deluge?

It is so needed around my place too. We have even been missing out on the pop up thunderstorms lately.

A NWFE as opposed to our traditional winter SWFEs?

We have had a couple of pretty heavy downpours that lasted 5-10 minutes each.

Close to a shutout up until 7:00 am this morning where I live. MPV reported .33 but I live just east of the airport in that non-rain reporting area. It has rained today so our dry spell looks to be abating some.

Ask DIT

If I am going to be locked down at home, it might as well be mud season. Can’t do much outside then anyway up here.

Mending Wall BY ROBERT FROST Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone, But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean, No one has seen them made or heard them made, But at spring mending-time we find them there. I let my neighbor know beyond the hill; And on a day we meet to walk the line And set the wall between us once again. We keep the wall between us as we go. To each the boulders that have fallen to each. And some are loaves and some so nearly balls We have to use a spell to make them balance: ‘Stay where you are until our backs are turned!’ We wear our fingers rough with handling them. Oh, just another kind of out-door game, One on a side. It comes to little more: There where it is we do not need the wall: He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’ Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder If I could put a notion in his head: ‘Why do they make good neighbors? Isn't it Where there are cows? But here there are no cows. Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offense. Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That wants it down.’ I could say ‘Elves’ to him, But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather He said it for himself. I see him there Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed. He moves in darkness as it seems to me, Not of woods only and the shade of trees. He will not go behind his father's saying, And he likes having thought of it so well He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’

I have apparently forgotten how to play golf. Was awful off the tee and with my irons tonight but thought to myself "At least my putting is ok". Then I 4 putt from less than 20 feet. I may need to take a break.

Yeah, but with a nearly 2" deficit over the last 2 months, you're parched like the Mojave.

Been married for 20 years, I've forgotten

Jay Peak?

My son does that regardless of the weather. He's 16 so frankly, it's better not being around him sometimes.

I have all Ryobi battery tools including a 10" chainsaw that works pretty well. I'm lucky that the closest gas station to me has non-ethanol premium and that's what I put in the lawnmower.

Nice. I've thought about going that way. Takes about an hour and a half to mow my lawn but was never sure about how long the battery lasts.
