    MDT is not reaching 90...I don't think. Not totally convinced that I do.

    84 at KITT at 11:35am.
  3. Itstrainingtime
    That is really bad.

    Here's my thought on delivery - and the word delivery is beyond the traditional sense. If I'm requiring people to attend a meeting that I'm running, I will ALWAYS schedule it for longer than what I know it will take me. So a 2 hour scheduled meeting with take me about 90 minutes. If I tell someone I'll have something completed by Friday, it will be wrapped up by Wednesday. I think (gulp?) that I've earned a lot of respect by simply practicing "under promise, over deliver" - people seem to really appreciate that practice. If FedEx tells me something is out for delivery on a day like today and I don't get it...yeah, it's not the end of the world. But it also isn't a good look. I'm sure USPS has the same issues. I just personally haven't experienced them.

    My issue is when a company "promises" or tells me something is out for delivery only to be followed by a "gotcha" and that happens with FedEx and UPS regularly. Almost never USPS.

    I must be very fortunate...I think my USPS service has improved over the past 10-15 years. I can't remember the last time anything was late, and often I get my mail prior to the promised delivery date. My experience with both FedEx and UPS has been far more inconsistent. If FedEx sends me a notification that a package is out for delivery, and it's not at my front door at 2pm...it ain't coming until at least the next day. 2pm seems to be a magical time that they say "F it, we'll get it to 'em tomorrow".

    Looks like an absolutely stellar period of weather begins next Tuesday. As @Bubbler86 mentioned, with the dry weather this week and more dry weather next week, it's important we get watered on this weekend.

    High of 87 today both here in Maytown and at MU.
  9. Itstrainingtime
    Agreed, but I'll still embrace a day like today in mid-August.
  10. Itstrainingtime
    Already up to 85 at KITT.
  11. Itstrainingtime
    Sunny and 83 here already.

    Temp is currently 80.0 at 10:35am - with enough sun today's high temp will likely be AN after 4 straight BN days locally.

    Better hope that the board's most famous resident of West Virginia doesn't see this...

    Yes, we really enjoyed Whittier. The entire drive from Anchorage down to Seward was jaw-dropping. We flew from Seattle into Anchorage and on our shuttle to our hotel I said to my wife "this is sort of underwhelming"...after spending a couple of days in Anchorage we headed south. We were about 15 minutes clear of Anchorage and came to a screeching halt while moose were standing on the road. At that point and forward, there was nothing underwhelming about our trip... The drive north from Seward to Fairbanks was incredibly long and incredibly inspiring.

    Talkeetna, yes...Hatcher pass...yes...Girdwood...nope. Never heard of Bethel. LOL

    My parents lived there for several years. After a year or so they were planning their return to PA. Too expensive and too hard mentally/emotionally. It's a very long, very dark winter.
  17. Itstrainingtime
    Meh - when I was in Fairbanks it was 86 degrees. Same time it was low 80s here. Seward is my Alaska place. Snow capped mountains surrounding the city while standing in the Pacific, smelling the salt air. THAT was cool.
  18. Itstrainingtime
    Doesn't take long...

    I went to the doctor's there for more than 30 years. I know it well! Vis. Satellite shows the plume of smoke quite well over SE PA.

    I'm very, very weird. I was in bed awake far too early this morning and my mind immediately went to high temperatures. I was literally thinking/wondering if I'll snag a 90 or two in the coming days. #Icouldbedoingfarmoreexcitingthingsinbedwithmywifeotherthanweathergeeking.

    Sky is noticeably hazy this morning. Took a glance up when I left the house and was greeted by a milky-white instead of the sharp blues of the past several days.
  22. Itstrainingtime
    I will never be able to out-wit you.

    I was crafting such an ending while Superstorm ruined the fun.
  24. Itstrainingtime
    Wow, thank you!
