OK, so it isn't hot yet, but the humidity is up and it does seem that summer has finally arrived.

Hopefully it will only last a few weeks and we'll get our mid-August fall teaser weather on schedule.

In the 80s to about 90 here last 2 days in between thunder showers. My wife and oldest are going to the beach, the other kids must be having a great time at camp up north though. Problem is, I'm so holed-up recuperating best I can do is sit in the backyard and throw the dog the stick!

I'll admit, atleast for a couple of weeks since we really haven't had any true summer weather yet this year, I could go for some hot sticky weather. But come the Tuesday after Labor Day, bring in a mega Canadian Cold front and kick the hot sticky South back where it's been all summer and get the snowmaking systems ready for a test! :)

I picked the hottest day of the year to go scrounge some free firewood after work yesterday. At least it only took me about 15-20 minutes to load up.

As much as I'm looking forward towards Fall, I'm kinda dreading getting back into leaf collection mode.


Not me! I bought a nice Billy Goat walk behind blower last fall. This spring, I bought a 50cc Echo backpack blower. But I should be careful what I wish for. Our place in CT is a lot of work to clean up...and now we have the VT place to clean as well.....
