Looks like I start my annual, irrational, with no supporting evidence fear of the rubber band snapping back from cool to record mild for the entire winter early this year.

I like to chase the groomer

It was until today. Saturn was cloudy on and off but yesterday was as close to perfection as you can get. Today just means they’ll spend more time and money at the Cabot Cheese Annex, Lake Champlain Chocolate Outlet and the brewery gift shops on their way out of town.

Early morning was beautiful and later in the evening was too. In between, not so much. I was messing around at the golf course and the skys were clear and the temps were cool. 58 at 7:00 when I left.

I was thinking the same. Cool and cloudy since my “beautiful morning” post.

Up to 61f after a low of 48f. Absolutely beautiful morning.

The all dew crew tried to warn us.

That train is pretty comfortable. We took the Eurostar to Brussels earlier this month. Even the long check in lines at St. Pancras went smoothly. I was hoping the Chunnel would be more interesting but it's just another tunnel.

I took 2.5 weeks off from playing while on vacation in Germany. Came back and it felt like I had never played golf before. I shot my highest score for 9 holes in over 10 years. I think I've started getting some semblance of a game back but I'm almost afraid to tee it up.

We joke about it but I have seen some trees changing that seem to be more than just the usual stressed ones. Nothing major and not widespread but I do notice it.

42° at MPV this morning

Same here with limited options. I'm thinking of just doing internet TV. Its not just cable and dish companies that do it. Everyone has the sweetheart deals for new customers but nothing for retaining customers unless you make a big stink.

Ugh, Spectrum. I'd love to get rid of them and probably will for TV but I'm stuck with them for internet. $200 a month for cable and internet. I know I could reduce the cable package to save a few $$ but I dislike them on general principle. I hate the way they stick it to existing customers while giving new customers deals.

Couldn’t have had a much nicer stay in Cologne and Berlin for the last week. Only a little bit of rain Saturday in Cologne but otherwise beautiful weather, mostly sunny and highs most days in the mid 70’s. Currently 66/55 in Berlin. Heading back to London tomorrow and flying back to BOS on Thursday.

We got it up at deer camp and we got ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox. We got those before but now we get the digital sub-channels that they broadcast different programming on. We lost all the Canadian channels we used to get though since Canada has different broadcast requirements for digital.

Better quality picture since it’s straight digital instead of being compressed for cable or satellite transmission. You live on an area where you could get a good number of stations, I’d still the 3 or 4 I got with rabbit ears ☹️

Lol. Even though yesterday was upper 60’s maybe, several of the underground trains were pretty toasty. I can’t imagine what they were like during those brutal heat days.

My hotel in London the last 2 nights did not have ac nor does the one we are staying at in Cologne have it. Thankfully it’s been bearable. I think the hotel we have in Berlin has it. Was soooooo happy the heatwaves from earlier this summer have broken

Landed in London at 6:30 or 1:30 am back home. Partly cloudy with temps in the 60’s to low 70’s. Did a complete loop around Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. Good day for a walk.

That was awesome.

I’ve only been to Tres Amigos a couple of times but it is pretty good. Happy Anniversary!

I think this must be what we have in a couple of sand traps at the golf course I play at. I wasn't sure what they were so we marked those bunkers as free drop areas for a tournament this weekend. Didn't want to chance anyone getting stung.

My 60 degree wedge is 60 yards and in. 56 degree 60-100 yards and 52 degree from 90-110 or so
