That sounds pretty good.

Do you like back country exploration? The White Mountains are probably the premier mountaineering destination in the east. The Greens probably get more snow but the Whites are more rugged.

I am just not a seafood guy. Maybe I'll put some Old Bay on a burger.

Warm and rainy. JK. There are several posters in that area. @dendriteand @wxeyeNH can give you the lowdown.

I’m down in Baltimore for a conference this week. 90° today. Was pretty warm watching the ballgame.

The most important thing we need to know is whether the party went on in Taunton last night.

Maybe my favorite Gov’t Mule song.

My handicap has gone from 13 to 17 over the last 3-4 years. It’s not the clubs entirely but it could be some of it. I’m definitely looking at game improvement irons. Pings like yours or Mizuno JPX 923s interest me. I have a Ping G25 driver and 5 wood. Maybe I start with the woods?

I'm taking the plunge and getting fitted for clubs. My Mizuno MX-17s are 15-16 years old and even my driver is almost 10. I'm 55 now and I've lost a little swing speed. It was never huge to begin with so I'm thinking it's time to update the technology in my bag. Or at least some of it, I may not be able to afford to replace the entire bag. One of the big hurdles I have to overcome is that I've always believed that fitted clubs and new technology won't help me if my swing isn't great. Has anyone here been fitted? What should I expect?

That's quite a bit less than Taunton. You got screwed!

Paving, what did you think?

Pretty nice for walking the golf course.

46.5° for the low at my house.

Don't worry. They'll use the technology developed from the captured space aliens they have to divert the water.

In January, this day is one of those that has snow showers on and off all day. I even told the guys I was playing golf with that the mountains looked like they were shrouded in snow on an off all day.

Wow, your drought is almost as bad as Taunton's!

It wasn’t completed until 1869. They would have had to take a Yankee clipper around the Horn or Pony Express it. Edit: I stand corrected, the Pony Express started in 1860.

I saw this and immediately thought "Who the hell flies out to South Dakota?" Then I realized San Diego. D'oh!

There are 3 flood control dams in my area that were constructed following the 1927 flood. They all held in July but it was close at the one outside Montpelier. Wrightsville Dam

Yay. Another invasive bug. There aren’t a lot of elms left, at least big ones. https://vtdigger.org/2023/08/15/invasive-insect-found-zigzagging-on-vermont-elm-trees/

It is. .36 so far. I have the day off for Battle of Bennington Day. Sucks to have this type of weather for it.

That’s the type of blocking that makes dryslot and tamarack cry for their mommas in winter.

That's so unlike you.

It's the timing that has screwed us up. Our league is on Tuesday night's. It seems as if we have had rain and storms on Tuesday a lot this year. Tonight would be fine but tomorrow looks rainy again. Same thing last week.
