I went to asbury park on 7/3/66 Sand was ridiculously hot....loved it!

August is over in 75 minutes. Moving on...

Being that you’re relatively new to this forum-here’s the origin of ratter. A man now (if he is still among us) in his mid 70s who I knew in college used the term “that blows dead rats”. I used it as a descriptor of a winter event that went bad or perhaps a pattern-maybe you remember-it was before subforums and you’re one of the originals. Anyway, the term ratter stuck. Just as “storm cancel” is courtesy of blizzard24, ratter is from my college days 50-55 years ago. Anyway, I had one beer and felt compelled to explain...lol.

Absolutely!

Good for him! 48 is too young to totally pack it in and his life now is probably a lot easier. Not sure how much or if I’ll go in but it’s a huge step down in intensity. A lot of stay up for the euro nights incoming..lol.

Yep! 9/30/2020. Will do a maximum 2 day/week gig and see if I can tolerate it Thanks Dave! Bright sunny day today!

Rained some for a few hours hours mid day....basically bupkis. Since it’s after midnight I’m calling. It 31 days on the count down. Total of 18 work days.

Did you eat the whole thing in one sitting?

Speaking of harrowing mountain experiences... 1. After submitting mount Whitney (14,495), my friend and I started down. I get this sense we’re off the trail but my friend insists we’re not. I put my foot down a few feet from falling off a glacier around 14,000 feet. This was August of 1982. 2. Walking across knifes edge on mount katahdin in 1962 3. Driving up MWN in a 1974 Plymouth Belvedere with “3 on the tree”.in 1976

Lol....we’re still 3 weeks away from the beginning. Oh and the Soviet Union doesn’t exist.

33 days but who’s counting.....

20,000 covid cases tied to the biogen conference....crazy!

Happy wife happy life....

Major ac malfunction this week hopefully fixed in time for next week. I did find a workaround to keep it cool at night using the unit but that’s kind of like hope and a prayer. Should be fixed by the weekend this week ready for Torchtember. Hopefully my last month as a full time worker!

That’s like saying when a team is up by 2 runs in the 7th inning it’s over.

Until next weekend. We’re never done this early.

Fringed again. Lawn looks like crap but there’s always autumn or next year.

Agree. Who knows?

What do you consider a big year?

So this place is a snowblower mecca Milton Village Hardware. I was there in late February and decided to wait until now. Haven’t been yet but it’s amazing. Basement full of snowblowers-gazillions and decent prices. One time trip in may be worth it. I came close to buying a rechargeable cordless.

I don’t thnk winter have warmed so much but it seems they have shortened.

My father as a young man had a bad accident on one of those bikes. We were forbidden to ride. I understand the attraction but your probably safer unmasked in a hospital vs biking...

What does this mean?

I think I saw something tracing sturgis to multiple small outbreaks. FWIW did anyone actually imply the protests were covid safe? Steve I’ll find the link-walking the dog now...
