Nice warm summer day. Currently 88/72. Anyone else still dealing with Deer Flies and/or Black flies? This is easily the latest into the warm season I've ever seen them. Deer flies were unrelenting up until about a week ago. Only saw/heard one or two on today's walk. Usually they are done by last week of July or first week of August. Black flies are still going strong though. A couple of lulls as various species died off, but then a new batch (or another species) hatches and it's Black flies in the eyes and ears all over again. Ridiculously annoying. Need a good hurricane to blow them all to Canada.

Beautiful storm.

Franklin looking good this morning. I wonder if Idalia will look like this near/at landfall.

No matter if it's inside or outside some peeps just enjoy the COC.

As much as the tracking, observations, wind and rain would be a blast, I can really do without living on a generator for a week or more. Done that more than enough times in the 14 years at this place. (11 days for Irene, 5 days for Sandy, a week for Isaias and a bunch of other times for various storms)

Look perfect to me. No damage for anyone and some good swells for surfing, body boarding, etc...

Sure it was. Cloudy, over Cast. CoC

Premature postulation.

Would just like to get some more 6 - 8 footers coming in to do some body boarding. This past Sunday was weak sauce. Hopefully this coming Sunday will be better.

moist.

Great rumblers overnight! And now a fantastic view of the offshore storms from Misquamicut beach.

Nice drink for the garden. Blue sky and sun peaking out now.

Moist and warm giving us perfect oyster mushrooms.

Nice storm moved up off of LI Sound and right over the house. Heavy, heavy rain and LOUD booming thunder. Best of the year so far down here.

74/58 Blue skies with a few fluffy white clouds and a nice breeze. Doesn't get better than this.

Total fucking coc here.

I've hear of baseball and softball size hail.....but DVD size??

Muggy all afternoon yesterday. Cooler and dryer today.

Nice cells just missed to my NW as well. Heard a couple rumbles. Looking forward to .10" of rain.

Plenty of dews down here in SE CT. 75/64 here and at KSNC currently.

Was just going to write...from one bowling ball to another. At least we're on the east side of this one for now. Better for the garden.

Thunder down here with that storm moving away from me to the east. More storms forming overhead and to the Northwest.

Installed on Memorial Day. Used it to cool off the bedroom for an hour each night before sleep time. Nice and cool every night so no need to keep it running.
