The guesses fell short here today, too. I went to TG this morning. It was hazy, not sunny, and while I was warm, it wasn't that bad. It's really kinda nice out tonight for a summer evening.
I was at TG this morning early. It felt kinda hot but not too bad. One of my favorite managers dropped by my bay and I asked if people were whining about the heat and he said they were. I commented that I'd much prefer what we had today to the single digit temps back in January! He agreed wholeheartedly!

It can get
way colder
than the
single numbers
here in the
northern part
of NH. When I
first built and
moved here,
winter nights
could drop into
the minus 20's
for a week at a
time. Needed a
70 amp battery
charger to
crank over the
mashed potato
thick oil in
the car.

I can get colder here, too, just rarely. But that was as bad as it got this past winter and this heat spell is far preferable. If it got even colder, that would be even worse!
Played 18 today but took a cart and walked very little. By the 6th hole, I was not following their instructions to keep carts on paths near greens, tees and on par 3s. Neither were many others! If part of a tee box was shaded, I hit from there, regardless of where the tee markers had been placed. I did play the back 9 fairly well and better than the front.

Last evening
saw the temp
break and drop
down to what
is usual for
these mtns.
Glad to have
the temps in
the 60's this
early morning.
Looking forward
to a few days
of showers to
drop the temp
further.

What a difference a few weeks make! Remember when you were wondering if the showers would ever stop?
They extended our warning to tomorrow at 8 pm. Definitely hot here, in the mid 90s.
Had to laugh at the national news. They reported that it's been over 90 2 days in a row in NYC! Now it's serious!

Can recall
like it was
yesterday
visiting
Houston and
New Orleans
in July. Ea
night was in
the 90's, even
at 3 & 4 AM.
One lost their
shower 2 minutes
after leaving
the A/C hotel
rooms. Your
clothes stuck
right to ya.
Not my idea
of a good time.

Not mine either. But somehow they didn't have a heat advisory and people survived, even visitors!
Taking it easy today, may head to a nearby course and chip and putt. May not.

Staying dry sounds like a plan!
We had showers this morning and a few drops this afternoon. Should be clear for at least a couple of days here.

Had heavy rain
and t-storms
today. Was very
surprised the
power did not
go off. More
rain early
today then
t-showers
developing
later in the
day. At least
Tues offers a
day of sun.

Hope you got it!
Golf today was punctuated by an amazing shelf cloud that appeared to be chasing us down a fairway for a while. We got the round in. I walked about 2 miles of it.

Lost power for
5 hours. It was
late afternoon
into the evening
yesterday. And
very boring.
That was twice
in one week the
power went off.
The utility Co
sent me a text
message saying
a tree fell on
the line. More
usual is a limb
that falls on
the lines.

Even brief power outages are at least pretty annoying. 2 in a week doesn't sound like fun.
I got out and walked 9 early today. 2.5 miles.

Made plans w/a
pal from town to
go to a local
supermarket today.
He's looking for
a local auto
mechanic to work
on his pick up
truck. We'll stop
by both places
in the morning.
Going to rain
all day. A very
good day to shop.

Hope the outing goes well! I know you tried to do that a couple of weeks ago but had car trouble.
Had a good outing at TG today. Came home and mowed, raising the blade to 5.5 inches, the top "normal" setting -- the very highest goes up 2 more inches.
