  1. A lot of cliche advice floating around. Sounds simple: 'buy on the dips' but that ignores the possibility of a sharpening correction and chasing added losses to the point of wasting years waiting to ride an improving mkt back to the starting point. Dollar cost averaging notwithstanding, it's not like there's no downside to buying during a selloff.
  2. Finally some luck with heavier rain hanging around long enough to soak in, 1.89" since about 6:30am. Badly needed esp with a return of heat looming.
  3. Line split / attenuated some as it approached but had a lingering back edge that got us to .78" of welcome water into the soil
  4. 0.11" yesterday from morning sprinkles, nada from aftn convection either missed to north, or dried up on approach. 0.24" for July mtd and just 1" in last 30 days. Crunched vs crushed.
  5. Here's the two severe-warned storms over Maine near Gorham
  6. A bit warm to the touch out there. Ambient station reads 92.8/79.7 and feels like 111.5. Situated in full sun at about 11ft over thick grass. No mowing or outdoor chores today any way it's sliced...
  7. Maybe more the result of the prolonged excessive moisture last year. Drought seems to curtail their ranks noticeably more so than cold.
  8. Was in Vegas July 5-11 in 2021. Couldn't be outside in the sun for more than a minute or two, skin felt as if it were touching a hot stove except there was no way to pull away, while in the shade it just felt like standing too close to a fire. Temp went over 114 multiple days, highest was 117 I think. Even the locals were complaining, just brutal.
  9. Acres of lawn growing fast now - dandelions allowed as they're early food for honeybees. We drive on this grass with vehicles including an 12,000 lb tractor all the time, and never aerate, treat, or water. When it's dry (as in 2022) it gets brown and we let it go dormant. Good 'old farm' soil over 12" deep and continued natural wildlife 'fertilization' keeps it happy.
  10. 30.4F, -SN & blowing snow, hard to tell for the drifting but est. about 8". Everything plastered & power still out. Nasty storm
  11. Where was this Christmas week? Waiting for April, that's where - just as I complained it would. SMH
  12. Well that was quick, power out. NHEC 100% outage for the town. 31.5F, SN and... "windy"
  13. With any luck, the 18-24" Gray forecasts will just blow into the neighbor's yards...
  14. 35.6F/34.6F, mostly snow, gusting over 20mph from NE
  15. "...something SCARIER..." smh Fear is the preferred ruse of govt's demanding the governed exchange their freedoms for more gov't power over their lives. "The urge to save humanity is almost always a false face for the urge to rule it." -- H.L. Mencken
  16. Ensemble loaded pattern smacks of "Grease": linear factors "time, place, motion" and non-linear factors "groove, feeling" "Grease is the word, is the word that you heardIt's got a groove, it's got meaning Grease is the time, is the place, is the motionNow Grease is the way we are feeling"
  17. Man if this was an episode on a 70s hospital show... "Start an IV of D5W, and transport immediately!"
  18. Winter '23-'24 is on double secret probation...
