North Balti Zen

Good luck as always, and, as always, if undecided please play it safe. Really hadn't paid much attention to this but just now scanning the entire set-up and belatedly realized western NC getting some sort of predecessor rain event and then looks to get the in-land tropical storm - my father-in-law is retired in Brevard, NC and their local forecast seems to be for 10-15 inches of rain starting late this afternoon through Friday and some model runs apparently with 20 inches in that area. That would be...bad. Just sent him a long message to grab some supplies and plan on staying put. Too many small streams by roads up where he lives to chance being anywhere but home once this starts and hopefully stay put until it is over.

Wet and dreary. In a good way. This area needs all the moisture it can get.

I wasn't mentioning the Burrow ACL like it was a death knell...he came back year 2 and took them to the Super Bowl. My main thought was to just go ahead and be happy as a fanbase that it appears the QB you took has all the actual upside you want to see and is showing it early (like Burrow did before the knee injury - and, yes, Burrow came back just as good post-injury. He's still a top tier QB). I think Washington has one too, is my general thought.

I mean, we lost Burrow during his rookie year, game 9, to...your team with a blown ACL. Its the NFL, stuff happens. But what you can take absolute heart from is that, setting aside the injury variable which is somewhat random (not entirely, but largely) - Daniels absolutely exudes "IT" - whatever you want to see from an NFL qb - Daniels has all o' that. If I were you all, just bask in that for however long the ride lasts. Beats having drafted, say, Bryce Young a year ago...for instance, at any rate.

Congrats to all the Commanders fans on what looks like just a massive hit at QB in Daniels. I...was in Cincinnati for the game last night so I saw in live and in person. While the Bengals defense was pretty terrible, that takes nothing away from how Daniels took full advantage time and again, and the last drive in particular to salt the game had a series of really heady plays and throws before the final dagger TD (to an almost nothing window). And, the stadium was LOUD for that drive - he managed a very difficult set of circumstances flawlessly. I just wish it had not been against my favorite team but happy for you all that are long-suffering Washington fans. I know from recent experience now much better NFL life is when a legit QB shows up...can turn a franchise around almost overnight.

Gentle steady rain since pre-dawn up my way - most most welcome to see.

Aye. Welcome to wake up to.

Can you all throw maybe at least .5 up to northern baltimore county while you are willing this thing north? I will hang up and listen, thanks.

73 and absolutely gorgeous evening.

would definitely be nice to find something for this evening/overnight. Last chance for awhile.

I still can’t believe they spent two of their trade chips on that terrible marlins pitcher. Just such a waste.

My part of northern Balt county basically missed everything this week. A little drizzle basically on and off. Looks dry now for another ten days

Hope she has/had a good first day of school!

Down this way, it is pretty much all we have left.

At some point maybe we will luck into a decent season (defined down this way as a 2-3 week span of chances), but it feels like the predictability of that is gonna be nil. Just random luck anymore.

Sweatshirt for the dog walk!

53 at the moment

Actually 67, not 70. even better.

Well this is effin’ marvelous. 70 and a gentle breeze.

I was on this end, Mappy just five miles north of me only had just over an inch per her post just above. That's the frustrating thing about this entire summer of rain, extremely hit and miss - we got lucky this time, lots of the area didn't. Looking north of us, up to central PA up to new england, they've taken much more area wide rains this summer and...their deluges have been even worse. I still wish we could find a forum-wide rain event that drops a gentle inch over everyone as opposed to whiffs in one area and deluges where the winners are but I guess that's just the pattern we remain stuck in.

Aye.

Ended up getting absolutely deluged here in Monkton.

I seem to have successfully taunted the atmosphere into finding my house with a storm.

Looking forward to seeing storms approach from the west - dry up - and then reform five miles east of the house with torrential rain on either side and .002 for my backyard…

It is humid as hell fwiw.
