Have my first atmosphere and weather test today! Got to do some studying beforehand this morning, which might bring back some memories for meteorologists here.

Got a couple o dem backward sixes on there, so might be half right. (One of my professors called em that, I can't take credit. Back in the 20th century)

Decent win for the Terps yesterday. After beating up on the usual weaklings the first couple games, they have had 2 respectable wins to go 4-0. 

As usual, it will  probably be a struggle to finish above 500 once they start playing legit teams in the conference.

Apparently canceling my lawn service and not watering my lawn this summer has invited Yellowjackets to build a nest IN my lawn. I unfortunately discovered this when attempting to mow the sparsely grown tan lawn covered in leaves this evening. Apparently I unknowingly mowed right over this Yellowjacket construction site. I first got stung on my elbow. Thought it was a mosquito. Then I got stung THROUGH my t-shirt. Then on my hand. Then again through my shirt. 

Of course I start doing a weird rendition of a rain dance of some sort. My neighbors clearly think I've lost it. I try to play it cool, all the while being attacked by these invaders. I go inside for safety. One stings me on my hand again, IN the house. I take off my t-shirt. Thinking I'm safe, I go upstairs. A Yellowjacket. I go in my room. A Yellowjacket. :fulltilt: They hitched a ride on my clothes? I killed a total of 6 in my house. Thankfully it was easy because they fly to the windows and just crawl around. Easy targets. I think they got them all.

Google says to douse them with a mixture of water and dish soap to drowned out the nest. I will also start up the water sprinkler, which needs batteries because I didn't use it all summer. I will let that run until the grass is nice and soaked, which will also drown out the nest. Meanwhile, my lawn is half mowed. lol  It will remain that way until I'm sure it's clear. 

I have a nice credit on my water bill because I didn't water my lawn. I have a few extra gallons to spare.

Just recently moved here for a new job fresh out of graduate school. 

 

Anyone got recommendations of things to do for someone that is new to the area. 

Thanks!

Welcome! Where exactly are you? What’s the new job?

Welcome! So where you are in the forum will make a difference in what people will suggest. There is so much TO do. The Ap trail isn't that far off, plenty of other trails, from steep mountains to the canal (which includes biking). Course tons of museums and the Atlantic and bay are close by. It really depends on what you like to do. I am WAY off in the western zone of forum, but plenty out this way too. Trains (both museums and rides), trails, lakes, caves and more. Again welcome!
