CAPE

I'll take a walk on the treadmill in the AC. Right after I finish this 90 min IPA.

After getting chiggers on my ankles and multiple seed ticks in a place no man wants them, I always immediately shower or at least take a damp towel and brush down my legs and feet. Worse than normal this Summer. This morning I put knee boots on to pull some weeds lol. Skeeters aren't bad but the Asian Tigers usually show up for the last third of Summer and into early Fall(second summer).

All that digging and playing in the dirt you do, have you managed to avoid chiggers? I do a lot of the same stuff here(to a lesser degree now) and every time I have been lazy and not sprayed myself, I have paid for it lol. I try to do my 'playing in the dirt projects' in early Spring and later in the Fall for the most part.

Seems like they let all the good people go so they can afford the contract with Pat McAffee. He is in on everything. Talk about overexposed.

Yeah when I drove by yesterday and saw the clouds and the way the sun was highlighting everything I was like I have to turn around and get that shot lol.

I literally just noticed this beautiful meadow of sunflowers a couple days ago just a half mile down the road from my house. Only a small opening where its visible from the road.

4.25" for July so far

The light to moderate rain behind the initial line pushed the total up to 0.78"

Pretty boring here. Some rumbles of thunder. Some moderate rain. Half an inch. Still some light stuff falling. Right about 4" for the month.

Just a couple days until the halfway point of Met summer. After that we have extended summer for a month or so before actual Fall begins lol. Raven's training camp begins in 2 days when rookies report. I can feel it coming..

Light winds/low shear means pulsy convection for now. That should change going forward with some UL energy and a front approaching.

What a waste of a great pitching effort by Rogers. Also, 2 pitchers that pitched in this game were named Junk and Blewett.

This is perpetual. Happy Birthday, and again congrats on becoming a Met.

Donated blood this morning. They told me to drink plenty of fluids. I am complying- drinking The ABYSS Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. For the hell of it, I tossed a few absolutely delicious local blueberries in the glass and poured it. Wow..

Clouds and occasional drizzle most of the day. Keeping temps down. 79 currently.

0.33" A bit underwhelming today, but no complaints. Up to 3.45" for the first 9 days of the month. Already around an inch more than the entire month of June.

Yeah it kinda broke apart down that way. Pouring here now but not much wind or thunder. Last night's storm was much more fun with gusty winds and the close by lightning strikes. As I type this the rain is already letting up. Meh.

Yeah looks like Centreville to Chestertown are getting the goods with this one.

Just walked down to the mailbox and can hear the constant rumbling in the distance. Clouds out ahead of it look kinda cool and a bit eerie.

That line is bowing out as it comes eastward.

You get screwed almost every time the low/mid level winds are westerly. I don't recall the exact setup back in June when your area was getting clobbered, but I bet the winds were from the E/SE.

Looks like there were some 3"+ amounts just west and south of Richmond. Probably occurred over a long enough period of time that it didn't cause much of a problem. https://www.weather.gov/wrh/hazards?obs=true&wfo=akq

Mid September.
