Feels incredible temp-wise, but damn is it windy today. Got literally pushed forward several steps by a ~40 mph gust walking outside of my office to go grab lunch earlier.
Really looking forward to tomorrow and Friday, when it's both cool AND calm. Planning to light up the fire pit and enjoy a couple heavier beers after work tomorrow evening.
Such an ass-backwards misunderstanding of LOTR .
Elon probably thinks Moby Dick is about how to hunt whales, Lord of the Flies is an island survival guide for pre-teens...etc.
Blastfurnace gonna make a final push at lunchtime tomorrow before retreating back to Hell to begin plotting next year's reign of terror.
Definitely some "warm" days ahead next week after this front passes, but looks like we're all but done with evenings that don't get below 70. I can tolerate a November day that hits the low 80's a lot easier when it drops to the low 60's after sunset and the AC can finally catch a breather.
For the first time in a while, weather forecast for Opening Weekend out at my lease looks awesome.
Last year it was really nice on Friday evening and then on opening morning it was so warm and foggy I couldn't see the feeder. Feel like work this week is really gonna drag as I sit there waiting to hit the road Friday afternoon.

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.
I've noticed construction has picked up on this place the last few weeks. There are some concept photos on their OpenTable site.

Looks like it will be relatively upscale. Carbonara, pork chops, tenderloin, old fashioneds....etc.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
