Iceagewhereartthou Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Good gosh UNC. Talk about throwing the game away..... Don't worry, USC did their share of game throwing too, incredible number of wasted opportunities there. Besides, we've lost waaaaay more than our share of games like that in the past.

Iceagewhereartthou Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 That's atleast 45 days with highs above 90! I knew this summer sucked, but not that bad! I bet GSP is at 60+ days of 90 or above, and the awesome drought to go with it![/quote] Still amazed at how different our experiences are. I'm saying, "what drought?" Other than dry period in late June, I've had plenty of rain in Easley, and my grass is still thick and green and waiting to be cut. I'll gladly take a break from the rain. Agree on the hot though - torturous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the hot though - torturous! I honestly have not cut my grass since July 1st! And it's only about 3 inches high now! Will wait to see if we actually get some rain this weekend and maybe I'll have to cut it after that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Good gosh UNC. Talk about throwing the game away..... Terrible mistakes on offense, and terrible play calling at the end of the game. They should have ran the ball with Hood when they were down at the 3 yard line.

Might get some rain this weekend, so it might be too wet to cut anyway, and maybe better to let it get some rain before cutting it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isohume Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Then the real guys showed up... That's a GFE issue with not bringing in the correct work file. The discos were written for the morning package, but they didn't make it into the AFD until the 642 am update. It happens sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 That's kinda what I figured... Was just unusual to see.

Solak Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Nah ---- I know from visiting the local office several times over the years that nobody there really gets a break. Even during benign weather, they're always working hard. As a weather enthusiast, I do appreciate all the behind the scenes work that goes on at the local forecast offices.

Solak Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Pending disaster avoided! Wxrisk.com 23 mins · Edited · *** ALERT ** GOOD NEWS!! *** the clusters of storms that formed out over the off shore waters due east of Virginia this morning and Midday that was moving WEST towards the coast - is now weakening This means the threat of rain/ storms for se va is also diminishing but there still could be a few showers around this evening BUT the WINDS and the higher than Normal tides will STILL be an issue into Sunday midday... NWS has issued SCA- small craft advisories ... for the next 12 hrs the the coastal floosing and Coastal Hazard statements are still in effect the Low tide tonight may not be very low. The winds on the COAST Bay and ocean will still gust upto 35 knots / 40 mph over for another 12-18 hrs and the seas will have waves up to 7 to 9 feet and 5 feet on the Bay IF you are located over INTERIOR se VA it will be a breezy thru the rest of the afternoon and evening with a few showers possible This system was NEVER a tropical Depression -- what I said was it looked like one. A meteorologist friend of mine from NHC said that this system MIGHT have been the remains of Erika ( a claim which I will not go into at this time) His NHC friend is wrong, also... remnants of Erika are moving East several hundred miles East of Florida. The swirl has been evident for several days once it left Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 No weather, lets laugh. A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took The seat right beside his. Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out, “Business trip or pleasure?” She turned, smiled and said, “Business. I’m going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston." He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs! Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, “What’s your Business at this convention?”“Lecturer,” she responded. “I use information that I have learned from my Personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.” “Really?” he said. “And what kind of myths are there?” “Well,” she explained, “one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Mexican descent who are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck.” Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed.. “I’m Sorry,” she said, “I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don’t even know your name.” “Tonto,” the man said, “Tonto Gonzales, but my friends call me Bubba". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than what NC State has scheduled to open the year. Troy, E Kentucky, Old Dominion, South Alabama. I think our schedule got screwed up because of the ACC switching around from 9/8 conference games. Looking forward to the Notre Dame game in a few weeks. Hopefully our team isn't looking forward to it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Cut the grass and cleaned up some in the yard today. Might have to cut it one more time this year and be done until spring. Then it's going to be getting up all the leaves. Put out the fall flags. Can't wait for fall to get here in full swing in October, one of the best months in NC.
