That’s why I have landscaping done for me-nothing to haul (although there are woods to blow it into but getting from front yard to backyard to woods is a colossal pain..), time freed up for me-not unreasonably priced. They come multiple times before final cleanup and they charge me $500 total. When I work I’m billing my time at $200/hour...if I’m going to work at all it has to be worthwhile. I couldn’t do clean up in 2 and 1/2 hours.

I tend to agree but time is precious and my exercise is via other types of yard work, strength training, walking and hiking

I hire guys but feel guilty about it…

Back in the day we called it reamed, steemed, and dry cleaned....

I believe he has his hands on his belt unbuckling as we speak.....

Nice walk on a spectacular day. Warm enough and no humidity. October of yore as I remember these growing up especially during the first half of The month.

Latest....

I remember going about 50 years ago with my friend and his parents. Sunny day but highs were in the mid 20s on those benches. Mini Mac Herron ran a punt back 76 yards for a td. I was thinking of the distant cirrus on the SW horizon...

Seemed near peak along I90 in NY yesterday afternoon. Foliage to me seems close to normal. Peak for the Boston area typically is around 10/20-10/25. Probably 5 days later vs 30 years ago.

Yeah. Open the windows.

I’m 2 months shy of 75. I go to bed after 2AM, up around 10-11 in the morning. Dinner typically around 8:30pm. Suck it millennial.

So George’s 200 inches for BOS is off the table?

And here in Chicago it’s high summer. Nevertheless in the 48 hours I’ve been here I’ve seen leaf change. Temperature is not the biggest factor.

Good luck to your wife! Great city especially this time of the year. One of the premier restaurant cities for sure.

Flew to Chicago today. Another world here holding onto summer. 80+ tomorrow

I don’t have a reasonable expectation for November. Even the best ones are mostly snow free outside of interior NNE. December through March does sometimes happen. That’s the hope.

As we approach the final day in September.

Seeing that rainbow reminds me of Giancarlo Stanton….

I agree there’s no logical explanation but that’s the bragging rights location for Boston climo.

And bos had 96. Your old Wilmington location averaged close to 50% more and you ended up with 20% less. So our individual perceptions are borne out by that statistic.

For me, I only care if Logan jacks which almost never happens. If. I get 14 inches and they Jack with 20 I’m happy. Conversely, if I get 6 inches and Logan gets slop I’m a little annoyed.

So I woke up early today (well 8:30...that’s a couple of hours early for me considering I typically put the book down and turn off the lights at 3-3:30AM). Tons to do and traveling tomorrow evening and need to be out of the house by mid afternoon. Anyway, I took the doggie in my long pants and a sweater with a jacket over and it felt cool....and I daresay wonderful! Critters are active, squirrels are fattening by the day, and I think we have a few signs of a potential blockbuster winter ahead. Not going there yet as there are some caution flags for sure. But today I’ve made the transition and I’m happy. One year ago today on my way to the work parking garage I turned in my PIV card to security, drove my car out of the garage and started my path to freedom from the intensity of a relatively high profile job taking up 50-60 hours per week. Unfortunately family illness required about 1/3 of the past year in Chicago. Should hopefully be different this winter. I’m excited!

That’s why I prefer 1993-94. One quick melt around 2/1 with a fast reload and repack.

My guess is your average summer might is about 10F cooler at your elevation vs most of SNE. Here it’s pretty much required.
