dendrite Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Nice afternoon. Lots of sun after a cloudy midday, temps in the 70s, and dews dropping through the 50s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boat before us I guess didn't see any so we got really lucky.. Best whale watching boat I ever went on was actually a fishing boat out of Gloucester, heading to the fishing ground the captain spotted a whale breaching off in the distance, he asked us if we wanted to continue to the grounds or take a detour and look at the whale. We all voted whale. When we caught up to it, the whale would breach near us and swim around and under the boat, I remember a lot of dolphins swimming all around the whale. We lost an hour fishing, but we all thought it was worth the side trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdxken Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Today is proof positive folks love low dews. Five or six posts the entire day! Most out boating, fishing, hiking, camping, swimming and generally enjoying the great outdoors. Almost feel sorry for the one or two posters hunkered down in a bath house swearing at the skies. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re wrong. Obviously people were so upset by the lack of fees that they just stayed in bed with their heads under the blankets so upset they didn’t even log on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice weather is boring weather this time of year. The more uncomfortable, the higher the post rate gets (cold or warm). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost an hour fishing, but we all thought it was worth the side trip. We left out of Boston Harbor and went just offshore of Glouster. No dolphins but it was still a really cool experience.. going to do it again soon and it was only 70 bucks a person.

weatherwiz Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I can't believe July is almost over. This month flew by.

It's okay with me. I hate them because they're so aggressive. But strange. On A separate note, I've seen a fair amount of lightning bugs this year. Real nice to see.

I lifted a rock near my wall to put it back on top and there was a nest under, they flew up my sleeves and stung my arms, hurt like hell. I did the same thing you did but if it happens again, I'll try boiling hot water. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I stuffed it with rocks and they were never back again!! When we were responsible for mowing my maternal grandparents' 3/4-acre lawn, each mow would discover 2 or 3 nests. For ones close to the house, my dad's 'medicine' was to wait until full darkness, pour in a few oz gas, then toss in a match. One very well established nest still had a small flame flickering the next morning and the soil had collapsed as the interior yellowjacket-paper structure burned, leaving a hole bigger than a 20-gallon washtub. We have reached the peak. Happy slide down to winter day Same here - 76.7/55.5/66.1 today. However, my data is still "live", and adjusts automatically with each entry, as my numbers for here started 5/17/98 and there's a whole week with means within 0.15° of that peak. If I'm still recording when the 2001-2030 norms are put in place (would be about my 85th bd), I'd need to decide whether to lock in my 01-30 averages or continue the present practice. Probably easier to just keep using all the current formulas. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
