All Activity

The Scouts rented from Rands! I'm sure they had modernized prior to Sandy - those exposed driveshafts would've had to go. My dad, older brother and I also went down there a couple times, too. We learned about greenheads the hard way. We'd come in about when the sea breeze quit and would have hands covered in fish guts while those demons took advantage of the calm.

Grass planting szn has started at the South Bend homestead. Sure sign of spring. Will I keep up with the dead patches caused by dog pee through the summer? Stay tuned.

How quickly did it take for the Euro to collapse?

Anyone ever played Wentworth by the Sea in Rye, NH?

Fantastic weather today, likely to be ruined by wildfire smoke tomorrow and Friday.

Saturday turn into rain showers yet? Would appreciate the NAM being correct.

Trees rapidly flowering after the warm days off and on the past week.

By tomorrow it will be cloudy, dry, and windy. I don't see any rain in the foreseeable future.

Keeping the amount of water vapor under control and in balance is vitally important. It's a greenhouse gas too. High quantities of water vapor can lead to breathing problems and poor air quality. It's an air pollutant in high quantities. I like the idea of converting some of it to drinking water better, we already have the ability to do that (and are doing it.)

Might we make a run at 90 tomorrow?

The Saint, isn't that based on a well known old TV series? Val Kilmer was one of the very best. RIP, Val.

Not quite..breeze is a bit busy and I see chem trails ruining the sky

Its insanity imo

My favorite temps are 60s, dry, a light breeze and partly cloudy skies.

I could see it happening by 2050, earlier if AI figures it out quicker. The greatest thing about fusion is one of its biggest inhibitors. The movie the Saint with my buddy Val did a good job explaining this all the way back in the 90s. Practically free, unlimited energy is inherently its own worst enemy in a capitalist society.

Yes we really need controllable fusion like yesterday. I think we'll see it in our lifetime though, the EU has been making a lot of progress.

Bad allergies earlier, now gone since the wind stopped.

i think you need to move

That’s where fusion solves all problems. It’s the most renewable resource possible. If the USA were to devote the time, money and resources to fusion that we did to the Manhattan project or the Apollo missions we could have it in 20 years. It literally changes everything, unlimited clean power allows for unlimited desalination, geo carbon storage and the list goes on and on. One hope is that with advances in AI and quantum computing fusion technology advances faster.

Shave off 5 degrees and I'd say it was perfect.

We are already running a global climate altering experiment.

Perfectly thought out. There is theory, then, there is reality. I wouldn't say nuclear energy is totally safe. Human nature insures that. My biggest problem with nuclear energy is that we haven't solved the permanent storage of the waste. Right now, it is stored at the production sites. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but one of the suspected reasons for the drone sightings was that they were looking for missing radioactive material.

Theres a section of pine barrens up near my place in the Northern Adirondacks in Clinton County. Odd seeing that landscape up there...

Yep- Have camped there myself. We used to cannonball off the top of the counterbalance on the draw bridge over the Mullica River (flows into Great Bay) at night, that cedar water stayed cool all year around. Used to have a boat in Great Bay at a place called Rands marina, out on "7 bridges road". Sandy erased Rands from the map- not rebuilt. (Sold my boat prior). Cedar swamp "logging" is still practiced some- down near Delaware bay in Cumberland County. Some of those logs are "prehistoric" huge! I've also read that the Meadowlands up near where you grew up contained large Atlantic White Cedar stands. Some tiny replanting attempts are ongoing. Those swamps make great flood control measures- but BOY are they dark at night!

A top 10 day of the year.
