67/56 here on the tarmac of KMPV

Volunteering at a food distribution at MPV. Like a good weenie, I snapped a photo of the ASOS

58° at MPV. What a glorious June day.

Doesn't this pretty much describe the majority of any severe season in NE?

I think I'd rate him a severe

This is basically a yearly repost for you.

Got down to 35°. What a BS streak of "summer" weather the last couple of days.

Nice. Better than grass anyway

Nice.

48F on the car thermo on the way home from golf around 3:00. Golf not a lot of fun with the cold and the wind.

My son and I did about 5 miles on the Cross Vermont Trail in Groton tonight. It’s an old rail bed in that section so not really a hike per say but it was a beautiful night for a walk. The bugs were horrendous though. As you swung your arms, it felt like you were cutting through swaths of black flies, no seeums and mosquitos. We had 100% deet insect repellent on and it was still bad.

I haven’t been to the farm in quite a few years. I always liked the last 3 holes. That course was designed by Geoffrey Cornish, who also designed the Killington Mt course. My understanding is that it was originally supposed to be an 18 hole course.

I never liked disco. I’m more a rock type guy.

Did you see Brady sink that shot from the fairway for birdie? Barkley was ragging on him and he dunked it. Pretty funny.

89 for me this morning. Made $7 or $8 so it was a good day. The guys I play with are slow though. Luckily it wasn’t busy so we only had to let a twosome play through but it drives me nuts. I like these guys and have fun with them but they are slow. At least when the course is busy the pick up the pace some but 5 hour rounds drive me nuts.

I liked seeing them carry too. I have a push cart but prefer to carry. Played 9 tonight. Beautiful night to be out. Didn’t play well.

I remember ash falling even here. It was surreal. Volcanos didn’t blow in America, those happen on tropic islands.

Now that's a standard first round. I was thinning shots, not to point of topping them but I'm sure that's soon to come. Did anyone catch the Titleist Skins game from Seminole yesterday? It was ok. That Matt Wolff guy seemed pretty nervous playing with Fowler, McIlroy and D.J. on national TV. He has quite the swing. Seminole looked nice but it must be better in person to receive all the accolades it does.

Satellite isn't very good either. Slow and impacted by weather. I think NH is better than VT with cell reception but once you get outside town in either state access to high speed internet becomes an issue. Here in VT a couple of consortium's have been created by towns to get fiber optic service to small towns. It's a slow process but has worked.

Many people have died on that cross up here over the years.

Played my first round today after not having swung a club since last season ended in October. It was like a spaghetti western, the good, the bad and the ugly. I ended the round with a 20’ putt to save par in 18 and ended up winning $7 or $8 on the day which is a good day with stakes we play for. The most important thing to come out of the day is that I didn’t hurt myself. That’s always a huge accomplishment for the first tome out.

If I hadn't been away from work most of today, the drive would not put me off. I enjoy road trips. Probably would gas up before I left, sanitized myself and then not stopped until I got to the course, waved at Runnaway from a socially acceptable distance, stayed an acceptable distance from him the entire round (mainly because my ball would be in the rough/woods/adjacent fairways most of the time) got back in my car drive straight home and then immediately hop in a tub of sanitizer, which would sting many areas. All in the name of fun!

Walked our course with the new owner and new pro today showing them around. Other than brutal wind and sub-40° temps, it was gorgeous. Unfortunately I am no longer in the position of being able to offer free golf to people or the invite would have been there.

If only I could make the drive

It says the Silverado 1500 has a payload of 1750 lbs minimum. A yard of dirt weighs 1080 lbs according to the Google
