    Sun briefly popped out completely here but not quite long enough to fire up the temps (it clouded up again), although it did go up a degree to 73.  Dewpoint is still oppressive at 71.

    The actual cold front is still back where that broken line is, but we only have a couple hours left before sunset.

    It's pretty cloudy here. I don't see a chance the sun makes an appearance. Gotta get lucky and hope a random popup blossoms right above my house...

    Anybody remember this much pollen so late in May? Usually done by the 20th I thought.

     

    Funny thing, I went a couple weeks prior to this episode with practically nothing. It's just in past week I've been getting plastered daily...pollen that is.

    Hoping some of this stuff makes it far enough E to give me a 2min steady shower to wash off the green stuff...

    Need rain, car covered in pollen again. 72F/DP 65F

    We start losing daylight again a month from now :thumbsup:

    Mowed lawn today before tomorrows rain. Jet sprayed pollen/bird crap from the car...it was pretty thick. I'll still take downpours/T-storms tomorrow.

    Looks like 6/21 we start losing daylight. (-.01 sec) then the ball starts rolling/increasing downward...

    I was in grade school when Windows 95 and 98 came out. That was peak Microsoft.

    Windows 2000, XP and Windows 7 were their best and most stable OS IMO. Never used Windows 8 and Windows 10 and 11 are bloated and it takes an extra step in situations where Windows 7 could get in one step. Still run Windows 7 at home. Only use Windows 11 at work...

    I also had the trs80 running alongside my c64.

    Friend in grade school had the commodore 64 so I was familiar with it.

    Brother went to Drexel (1986) and the Macintosh PC along with Dot Matrix Printer were required for all freshman. It was a big upgrade from the Trash-80 and C64 but the Dot Matrix printer took 5 minutes to print a page and loud as hell. Little did we know less than 10 years later Windows would arrive...

    My 1st PC was a 486-33 (4 on the floor), with (countem) 8 mb of ram.

    My very first PC was a Radio Shack TRS-80 sometime around upper 70s/1980.  (TRS - Tandy Radio Shack)

    Zilog Z80 processor at 1.77 megahertz

    RAM 4KB

    Black and white monitor

    In the summer of 1977, Radio Shack introduced the TRS-80 for $599. This offering included a BASIC language interpreter, four kilobytes of RAM, a Zilog Z80 processor at 1.77 megahertz, a twelve-inch video monitor, a cassette recorder, a power supply, and a cassette tape containing the games Blackjack and Backgammon.

    It was a beast!

    Well a rainy day overperformer that was suppose to be scattered showers. So much for the bone thrown.

    Qtown spring festival went ahead despite a rain date people pissed.

     

    You should have stepped in and told them you are a certified weenie and tomorrow would be a much better day/decision. Actually anyone w/a single brain cell could see tomorrow would be better. Looks like a pretty big sha-bang...vendors must be pissed as well.

    In the running with 2005 for the worst May weather of a lifetime.

     

    I'm digging these below normal, rain occasionally weekends. If you plan your mow cutting/shopping (less people)/other needs accordingly it works out. Couldn't ask for much more besides a couple T-storms and transformers blowing up here and there.

    I'm in...

    Hellz yeah...a little more than a month to go and we start losing daylight again!

    Man, I can't wait for this.

    We're doing ok, not getting fried/blow touched for now. Need some lingering stationary/back door/cold fronts Hurricanes/T-storms/Tropical stuff off the E coast to keep things in check. A tornado or two wouldn't hurt... 

    Let the Phils keep rolling and Birds start training camp and we'll be in Fall mode in a jiffy...
