Why is it always so damn windy in the MA? We rarely had this crap in Michigan. I'm surprised all the pine trees don't only grow branches on the east side of the tree like in the tundra.

Now? I put down a whole bunch of seed in late fall and in the last week it's actually started to germinate and grow. You'll get more crabgrass doing it now but whatever. -
Droughtbuster out there today. Didn't see any wind or storminess when the line came through, just steady moderate rain for a couple hours now. 54F.

Started my tomato and banana pepper seeds this weekend. They're on the heater and under grow lights now. Usually I start them in February but last year was so cold in April I had to delay getting them in the ground and they started getting leggy in the trays, so this year I decided to hold off until March before starting them, anticipating a cool april. -
I have mine going now. So dry in my house I just started leaving pot of water on it to try and humidify things. Seems to raise the humidity in the house about 5% but that's the most it can do. Better than nothing I guess. WJLA is saying wednesday might feel humid, I'm gonna have all the windows open that day.

Not sure if I should play it off as "see what's happening because budget cuts!!" or else "if this is what I'm currently paying for then just cut it all to the bone". I'll just look at my home weather station's "12hr weather forecast" function and stick with that at this point.

Thanks LWX, critical analysis.

Screw that, I'm ready for tree frogs, moths, and air conditioning. I'm also getting a whole-house humidifier in time for next winter.

Well today sucks.

What an awesome day. I cut down about 35 tulip trees to get ready for moth season and also did a ton of trimming. Was nice to get all that done without breaking a sweat.

Eccentric heal drops are your friend. Try them off your stairs at home and then progress to one leg at a time. Achilles and calf injuries become more common at middle age, though actually tearing a calf muscle absent a traumatic injury is still pretty rare.

It's just he next logical step in our transition to Idiocracy. Might be smart to buy PepsCo stock futures or stock up on Mountain Dew so you can arbitrage that shit in a few years.

Yeah I think we're 0 for 2 with advertised EPIC patterns the past two winters now.

Solid rain with the front passage here. Hopefully enough to wash the salt off the roads. Getting tired of seeing my car covered in salt dust. Plus I can break the motorcycle out now that the salt is gone.

It's been so long since we had a proper coastal storm that I'm well on the side of skepticism of any model showing one. Eventually I guess the pattern will change but I'm so gun shy at this point.
