bristolri_wx Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 With that storm coming up the coast, Sunday evening definitely looks like an oxford shirt with slacks kind of day. Might even go to bed early so I can get my eight hours of sleep. . . . . . (Definitely wanted to work slacks into the conversation and stay on topic, though I'm not sure what the topic is at this point.) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them, including the ones here, offer auburn brown at best. For reds from oak, the planted pin oaks in Farmington (they're not native to this area) are the best. They color late, when the native hardwoods (except aspen) are sticks. I might have ID'd the oak wrong....I will have to take a closer look. I swear this oak hasn't produced any acorns since we have lived here. Our 1 pin oak has plenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that there's always a time during the day you need to wear pants because you're doing something that requires it like weed whacking, mowing the lawn, carpentry, ATV riding. If the day is hitting the golf course or pool party drinking Bud Select, then fine. Weed whacking and mowing in jeans or pants? Wouldn’t even consider it. That’s a hot , summer job. Shorts required . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have allergies, and get my legs scratched from high grass, or whatever, but I refuse to wear long pants when doing lawn stuff in the heat. I generally wear shorts doing that stuff to but I can see long pants when hiking for tick defense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you familiar with the book So Cold A Sky? It is a weather history book of the Michigan UP. The format of the book would be ideal for a SNE and/or Worcester weather history book.

Basically an account of a whole bunch of weather events with a lot of accounts from people who experienced them. 1 minute ago, bristolri_wx said: You should!

But I'd do it because I love writing about weather events and I'd want to document a lot of these events before they get forgotten. A lot of past weather events really don't have good historical accounts unless they were absolute top-end events like Feb '78 or Hurricane of '38, Worcester tornado '53, etc. But so many of these semi-large events sort of get relegated to "no memory or historical account" status so it would be nice to have one place to read about them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it looks nice as filled in field too. I only got to play the course once, as we had moved to Brooklyn shortly before it closed. But I use the range across the street all the time. I've chatted with the all 3 parties involved in the course/property/restaurant relationship over the years, and it's interesting to hear the different sides to the story. It would be good to see it stay as a field or go back to farmland at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
