1/2 the trucks in the parking lot at work look like this, can't even fit inside the lines to park!

Whelp, this is a heck of a hole to now dig out of...

Happy Birthday H2O!! Welcome to the 'seasoned citizens' club!

'tis a chilly spot...

SO this is it, last 'great' day and then the HHH start. I'll go walk in comfort for one last time until October......

The massive amount of water past three years may have them stressed.

A few sprinkles this am and in the upper 40's, about 10-12 degrees warmer than previous 4 mornings.

ditto, I had ZERO clue what that was lol

100% with you on that!

37.1 for a low here this morning, but no visible frost. Yard, especially the newly planted part, looks spectacular !!

I know that this isn't normal, but I AM enjoying every day of it, knowing what is inbound ANY DAY now for the next 4 months.... BTW, it wasn't really that cool last 48 hours if you compare it to last year.

Meanwhile up in the mountains of SWVA and WNC....

Good luck!

A B S O L U T E L Y! Enjoy them while you can, the triple nasty H's will be here soon (and long) enough.

I can think of a few 'players' they could call up... (4) Slap Shot - Unleash Ogie Olgilthorpe - YouTube

Hope you get to feeling better soon!

So the classic 'I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out' will be said? I'm gonna edit this to add a fun experience from a game I went to couple years ago. Roanoke (Railyard Dawgs, SPHL) playing Fayetteville in a home/home series. Not sure what happened the night before in Fayetteville, but BEFORE the puck was dropped 3 separate fights started with the lined up players! I think the game started 3 on 3 with 70+ minutes of penalty time before the puck even dropped lol.

Pffftt....wait until 55 or so...

Thanks, that was a bit iffy. On phone with fiancée and told her I was gonna step into the hallway when *wham* they started falling.

So, just got power back here, I had a 66 mph gust on the weather station and have 4 trees down on my property. Two missed the house by 10 feet and are laying in front yard. That was most impressive. Between 2:45- 2:50 pm. All were pulled over with big chunks of root balls, biggest tree brought a 10 foot by 10 foot slab of dirt with it.

Lots of booming here in last 15 minutes

Yep, reminds you that the U G L I E S are on the way......
