Blastfurnace 2023
It's noon and sunny in Houston and it's not punishingly hot outside. Baby steps.

Blastfurnace 2023
Houston area doesn't look like we'll get much of what anyone would consider a "cooldown," but today is the only day on the 15-day forecast with a triple digit temp although tomorrow may possibly hit 100. The following 2 weeks have an average daily forecast of roughly 94/74. Still a good 3-4 degrees warmer than average for the time of year, but not historically awful and breaks the streak where we've consistently been 8-10 degrees above average the past 40 days or so. It's better than nothing?

Flour tortilla = breakfast tacos, accompaniment to any kind of mexican breakfast, fajitas Corn tortilla = street tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, homemade tortilla chips- Dominique's Sweater Tonight

Haven't seen any in the flesh yet, but there are plenty of signs at my lease that there are some very large hogs. Was out there exploring this past Saturday, getting more familiarized with which roads lead where. Walked down to the bone-dry "watering hole" and passed some relatively fresh hoof prints in the sand that were way too big to be a deer. Walked around to the somewhat cleared out area behind the pond and there were some rather large crap piles, also definitely not from a deer.- 2023 Houston Astros Thread

Have a guys trip coming up this weekend with a house rented on the SM River. Most of us are getting into town a couple of hours before we can check in to our rental. Those of you that live in the area, where's a good place for a bunch of 40 year old dudes to hang out on a Friday afternoon? I haven't lived there since I graduated 16 years ago and there are new bars and restaurants every time I pass through. Hardly recognize the place anymore.- Blastfurnace 2023
Started yesterday for us here in Houston. Leaving the office around 6:30 yesterday it was oppressively swampy, even inside my building's parking garage. Somehow it felt a little hotter and muggier when I went outside around 9:00 last night.- Blastfurnace 2023
The long-range forecasts seem to finally be reflecting a slight pattern shift next week, but nothing particularly dramatic, and not really anything that someone would consider a "cold front." Whatever makes it down to Texas looks like it'll have more significant effects on Panhandle and DFW area than Austin or Houston. Bunch of 95/74 days listed for Houston starting on 9/12, which, albeit an improvement, is still ~3 degrees above the average high and low for the the time of year. 7 days away is towards the outer limits of forecast models being worth much of anything, so I won't really start feeling any confidence that it'll happen unless/until the forecast is still looking that way as of around Friday.- Celebrity Death Pool -- 2023
A lot of Buffet songs are what I'd consider "gimmicky", but listened to Come Monday a few times this weekend and that's just a perfect 1970's tune. Watched an interview where he played it on Letterman in the early 1980's and described it as "the song that kept me from killing myself while living in a Howard Johnson in Marin County."- Blastfurnace 2023
SCW seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Elon says he estimates his damages caused by ADL to be "half the value of Twitter", which he says amounts to upwards of $22B. JFC, people used to look at this guy like some revolutionary genius. He massively overpaid for a social media site b/c he's an insecure man-baby, completely fucked it, and is now blaming THE JEWS for it being a bad investment.- Blastfurnace 2023
Clocked a total of 11 minutes of rain today in my neck of Houston. 8 minutes of moderate rain around 2:00. 3 minutes of heavy rain around 5:00. Maybe 1/5 inch total. Still, by far, the most rain I've had in 2 months.- Markets still falling like whoa

Whereabouts?- Blastfurnace 2023
Yeah, that's the kicker. It's not extreme, record-setting hot any more, but the current long range forecast goes out to 9/15, and is basically 99/78 every day through then. Average temp range this time of year is 93/72. By two Fridays from now, it "should" be 91/71. We're going to spend the first half of September consistently 7-8 degrees above average. We typically see our first legit front that drops lows into the mid-60's for a day or two sometime between 9/20 and 10/1. At this point, just getting 4-5 degrees closer to normal temps would be a huge win. As in, some 94/74 days, which would be still be hotter than average, would be very welcome.- Blastfurnace 2023
~40% rain chances for Greater Houston area Sunday-Wednesday. I swear, if it pours down 2 miles west or south of my house again and I barely get a drop...- Blastfurnace 2023
Damnit, hunting season starts tomorrow, college football gets going in earnest this weekend. This is the time of year that I mentally categorize as "Fall." It sure as shit ain't gonna feel like it any time soon though.- Hunting ‘23/‘24: Bag ‘em and Tag ‘em

This is literally the "bitch about the hot ass Texas summer" thread. You're bitching that people are bitching in the bitch thread, genius.- Blastfurnace 2023
Aside from that maybe that one Wednesday 2 weeks ago, this was the nicest morning of the last 3 months. Felt great, and that northern air just has a different smell to it. Smelled like Fall for a few fleeting hours. Gave myself a small treat and popped into the coffee shop next to my gym and grabbed a proper coffee to drink on my back porch when I got home. Dogs just laid on the ground next to me and looked pleased as shit. It was a good morning. - Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook
