  1. Much-needed soaking yesterday, and it looks like this afternoon should be pretty nice once clouds clear and it starts to dry out. Currently about 60 hours out from cold front arrival late Tuesday night. Gonna feel like a different season on Wednesday compared to Tuesday. One nice thing about this front is it looks more like a harbinger of larger pattern shift than a flash-in-the-pan that lasts 48 hours and then reverts right back to the same ol' shit.
  2. Mystery buck at my stand last night. Can't see horns for shit but a good size body.
  3. I've noticed construction has picked up on this place the last few weeks. There are some concept photos on their OpenTable site. https://www.opentable.com/r/lazy-lane-houston?fbclid=IwY2xjawNooapleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHndRKyGu9pSdWaWgVdUwXQN5nHB3U66ellM6m2x7b4RKZheqEUh_dFklncKI_aem_wB2jmK3J7G3-8nVg5dQqyw Looks like it will be relatively upscale. Carbonara, pork chops, tenderloin, old fashioneds....etc.
  4. ^^^ I'm giving serious thought to sitting outside sometime around 2 AM Wednesday just to feel the front finally rolling in. The last time I experienced a temperature below 60 was on a trip to Colorado back in late July. Locally, it was back in the early part of April. This is about as late as it ever gets in the year before the first legit front arrives. Well overdue.
  5. Still on track for Fall to finally start on Wednesday.
  6. If he's not careful, his support among ranchers and farmers may eventually plummet from +60 all the way down to +58.
  7. Psycroptic still bringing it. New single out a few months ago that I just heard earlier today. I don't really know any other metal guitarists that write riffs like Joe Haley. You can almost always tell a song is by Psycroptic in the first 2 seconds.
  8. Only fitting, as I'm both in charge of producing all weather forecasts in TX and run the computer models on which they're based.
  9. A whole lot nicer this morning than yesterday's humidity bomb. Today and tomorrow looking tolerable, albeit still warmer than it should be. Finally expected to get some much-needed rain this weekend before "Autumn" finally stumbles in a month late next Wednesday. Encouraging amount of highs around 80/lows in the high 50's from 10/29 through 11/5.
  10. Man, I hate when I get sick or tweak something or go on a long vacation and miss a full week or more of workouts. Feels like the first 2 weeks back in the gym afterwards are just getting back to where you were.
  11. Raucous scene in downtown Toronto last night:
  12. Aside from the political angle, of course domestic beef producers, at a time where they're selling for historically high prices, don't want to see increased supply from international sources.
  13. Looks like a tough shot there!
  14. Yeah, it was so wet outside this morning at sunup in Houston you would have thought it had just finished raining. >90% humidity at 7 am. High of ~91 today is just 1-2 degrees shy of the record. Just not at all what Late October should feel like. On the bright side, the rest of the extended forecast looks better than today:
  15. Somewhere between 93 and 95 today (lost count in the middle of a set). So close!
  16. Per SCW, this has been the warmest first half of October ever, going by average high temp:
  17. Most promising buck seen out at our lease in a long time yesterday evening. Hope he can manage to steer clear of any neighbors for another 2 weeks.
  18. Minor front rolling through tomorrow evening. Waking up Sunday should be a treat, but it won't last more than a day or two. High 80's for most of next week. GFS is starting to envision our first legit front heading down from Canada sometime around the 28th. I'll start buying in if it still showing up in the models 4-5 days from now. 11 days out is just a crapshoot.
  19. Out of curiosity I looked back and Fall '24 basically started a year ago today. First real cold front of the season rolled in on 10/16/24 and cooled things down to the 70's and 50's for a few days, but it reverted right back to Late Summer again the following week. Hit 90 for the final time that year on 10/26. Took several more weeks for it to get consistently cool. First 15 days of November were warmer than average.
  20. What time do you East TX hunters set your feeders for the mornings? I feel like last year we had ours way too early for the first few weeks. Sitting in the dark for 40+ minutes after going off. It wasn't what I'd consider light enough to shoot until about 5 minutes past 7 this morning. I'm thinking maybe 6:45 am for now, adjust to 6 am after the time change, and then nudge it up to 6:20 or so after Thanksgiving? Currently going off at 5:45 in the evenings, but will probably adjust to ~4:30 after the time change. Making a quick trip up Saturday to top off feeders and set the feed schedule.
  21. Feels pretty damn good out there this morning. I'd love if it were 8-10 degrees colder, but I'll take what I can get for now. Spending the weekend in Baton Rouge and I definitely ain't complaining about this forecast:
  22. I remember this story when it first came out last year, specifically cause there were so many smoking-gun quotes from both the software vendor and the companies that used it. The plaintiffs lawyers involved must have thought they'd died and gone to heaven.
