Finally got about an inch of rain this week. Level 3 extreme drought here and in western part of the state. Lawn watering restrictions still in effect. Driving down the street some lawns are pretty brown and others are over-fertilized and watered. Having a beautiful lush lawn used to be a source of civic pride but in an extreme drought in an area with a sole water source, not so much. Some town fire departments worry about the wells ability to keep water pressure in safe limits. The 'me' crowd are becoming more and more self-centered. End rant/ glad it rained finally here.
Lived in upstate New York for a few years, sometimes I miss all that snow. The dead silence at 20 below, but I don’t miss that -40 windshield and all the work of actually going anywhere in the winter.
76* and 33% humidity. Why the fates have befallen this cold on me so I can enjoy neither the weather nor a cigar on my birthday is proof of their cruel hatred.

We seem to be slowly transitioning to fall. Daytime temp in the mid 80s, nights cooling to 50/60s
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Quess who maxed out the AQI today! It was at 500 this morning when all of the schools got cancelled.
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
That’s crazy Wayne. Just to give a reference…..

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
44° and very foggy at 0600. Now 46° and the sun is burning the fog off quickly.
Looks like Florida is in for a major hurricane next week. I hope our florida brothers have an emergency cigar smoking plan in effect.
38° and foggy
Ian is coming up to the NC Mountains. We will get maybe 4 inches of rain and 25mph winds. Hope those folks downwind come through ok.

We can take solace in that they are often wrong.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas..

Went to high school in upstate… don’t miss much about it…I’ll take my -40.
We are getting a hard freeze tomorrow night. Low twenties. Got to split up fat pine for kindling.
Same here, but mid 20s.

Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
That’s what I had yesterday.
