Sweaty 4 mile walk ongoing. Summer is back.

Living dangerously is a spice of life sometimes. My wife couldn’t believe how easily it all went.....

Somehow a major limb-tree sized ended up straddling the fence between our next door neighbors and us. Origin from a tree inside our property line so I bought a chainsaw and took car of it. Pretty good sweat going. Loved the chainsaw-can’t wait for the next one!

Winters generally were pretty bad though. My recollection is one really decent event in January of 1954-I was in 1st grade and I well remember the event. Then came March of 1956-a true all timer!

Sultry today for sure. Heading into warmer pattern. Out picking up some necessities for our upcoming Europe trip beginning next weekend. New phone on the list mainly to get more capacity and better pics.

Crowds? No ones staying over this weekend..

I love how Steve posts the 7am satellite. Looks like a fine day here after all-suns been out for awhile now.

But if one crawls up Wiz’s hiney it could be trouble.....big trouble.

So in summary it doesn’t feel summery?

EEE seems to be around every summer. It was there when I was a kid. Not sure the cause of the algae deal-seems like HHH is too simplistic since we’ve frequently had those conditions for long periods of time over the past 100 summers.

We were near sandwich,NH and temperatures at elevation were 60s under 2k and 50s higher. Just west of castle in the clouds. Mount Israel which was sneaky steep but at this point in my life descending is the toughest on my body.

Had a doctors visit Friday and headed up north Saturday morning. Very intense hiking and I have to say temperatures were perfect yesterday for that activity. Today we took a less intense mountain in and headed home. Summer’s winding down although we will heat up and dew after this week. Intense little cell over us after 5 hours hiking yesterday just as we got back to the car. Perfect timing.

I was in London in 1993 during a hot spell-around 90 for a week. Nothing was ac. Then again 30 years ago I’d go all summer without ac. Just need it now-love the wx but hate the indoor sequela.

My wife is responsible for getting is places to stay. My only requirement is ac which in Europe is not a given..

Thanks Jeff! Definitely vacation. Dropping our daughter off in London and after 5 days there we’re heading to Paris. Should be fun.
