Itstrainingtime

Just saw that. Well...yeah, I'll move on.

I have been to Beaver Stadium exactly 26 times in my life dating back to 1982's huge win against #1 Pitt. (Blackledge vs. Marino) In my 26 visits, PSU is exactly 26-0. Closest I've seen them come to losing was a few years ago in the season opener against App. State.

So about this post... A light shower has just popped south of Dillsburg, and a few more out in the south central mountains. Bubbler for the win!

That's how we went as well. Very easy to get to, subway station is close to Penn Station (Amtrak) up on 6th Avenue take the D line right to 161st Street/Yankee Stadium.

@sauss06 if it's still open to the public, make sure you get to NY early enough to visit Monument Park before the game. Even as a Yankee hater, seeing baseball legends immortalized is really cool. So glad we ventured out there and viewed the Yankee greats from the past.

You'll say it a 3rd time when Highmark Stadium puts in luxury boxes and everyone attending chooses to watch from up on Mt. Washington...

The other infamous score from that day was 6-5. That was the number of PSU first downs-turnovers for the entire game.

Been there twice. It's weird. First off, like most newer stadiums, the atmosphere is not what it was at old Yankee Stadium. The place is massive...sort of hard to believe that it only holds approximately 50K. When you're inside you'll swear it has to old more. Second, the seats between the bases are so incredibly overpriced that they're often empty...they've even been empty during playoff games. Weird vibe being in a mostly full stadium with all of the empty seats exactly where you'd expect them to be full. Of course, this was several years ago when everything was "normal" in regards to attendance.

I hate hot and humid weather and even I miss it...

You never know...2004 saw Iowa beat Penn State 6-4.

Duh! I have to get used to the extra game.

Yes! That's what i was referring to. Back then we took it for granted...but those days are a distant memory. I mean, it's a good thing that the air is cleaner, but there was something "cool" about it.

I honestly think 8-8 is a stretch. Would not be surprised, given the schedule if this team finishes 6-10. Don't mess with a woman. Don't ever mess with a woman.

With emissions improvements and whatever else, we don't get the "Hazy" part of the trio like we used to. Even on our exceptionally hot and humid days, the sky is still blue. Back in the 70s and 80s the sky would be a milky white, and in the early evening the sun would often be filtered in the western sky. Just doesn't have that vibe anymore.

Good. That's what I was expecting was going to happen overnight. Perhaps my early evening river walk will be quite pleasant.

This is the time of year when I start getting tired of walking outside and having my glasses completely fog over immediately. I'm ready for a break. I was surprised this morning when this happened. It actually felt more humid to me this morning than it did yesterday.

There just wasn't a lot of padding.

Got .02" here at 6:15pm.

Tropical Storm Lee, my occupation, and my love for trains is what gave birth to my screen name. I learned all about training storms during that event.

Funny thing about that night...I tried EVERY possible route that I could think of. One of those was going out 23 to Marietta. I knew if I made it to 441, I'd get home from there. But that creek (Little Chickies) was the denied access on quite a few roads, 23 included.

I'm smart enough not to drive through floodwaters. I was stupid for going out that evening to begin with.

That is my birthday - wife and I went out for dinner that evening and didn't make it home until the next evening. We spent the night at a motel near Mt. Joy, every route to our home was closed due to floodwaters. I couldn't get to work the following day either. I'll never forget that tongue of reds and oranges on radar that was oriented N/S from northern VA up through eastern PA. It sat over the Susquehanna river valley and just dumped for hours on end.

Marysville is getting hit good it appears.

I have some very light rain falling now here at work. What did MDT record in September 2011?

I'm at 88.4. Interesting...
