It's a one line
bridge w/lights
at both ends.
My net was down.
Something happened
on the tel pole.
Back in biz til
the next event.

Got it. 2 way traffic, one way at a time controlled by the lights. Ugh.
Glad your service is back. That was a fairly long outage.

Will take the
one lane bridge
w/lights over
no bridge. The
is a two year
temp solution
as NH DOT plans
to pour cement
over a huge
culvert when the
engineers figure
how to do it the
best way.

I'm sure that's a lot better than the detour! And worth it if the fix means it shouldn't happen again.
Things are really drying out here. September is our dry month and the most likely source of rainfall is hurricane remnants. Not much chance of that in the next week:
The two orange Xs have about a 40% chance
of becoming a tropical depression within 7
days. The one headed to Mexico is more likely
to skip to the Pacific than head toward us. The
one off the coast of Africa looks like it would
fizzle out in the middle of the Atlantic.
The good news is that it means I will go over 3
weeks without mowing!

Hope the hurricanes
are limited. The
area has enough
rain damage. No
need to see wind
damage as well.
Still have mud
from rain in
the spring. What
a soaking wet
year.

It's looking like a fairly mild hurricane season. That can change in coming weeks. There's bound to be something.
Played 18 this morning. Not a ton of walking, maybe a mile and a half.

How does the
threat of a
hurricane
keep you from
mowing the
lawn for 3
weeks? Very
good golf
weather in
my area as
well.

It's the lack of rainfall that made it unnecessary to mow for 3 weeks.
Based on the current weather pattern and my experience, the most likely source of significant rainfall that will end the drought would be hurricane remnants passing though. The on and off showers those things bring over the course of two to three days is typically between 3 and 5 inches of rain.
So, in the near term, that hurricane outlook I posted informed me that there would not be any reason to mow until next week.

Oh, you have
a lack of rain.
We had plenty
of rain since
the spring melt.
Then in July we
had heavy rain
for days that
washed out almost
every road that
had a grade to it.
Towns are still
working on their
roads.

Hopefully you're starting to dry out.
Guesser says there's a decent chance of storms/showers today.
Developing.

The guesser gets
$150k a year to
guess the weather
no matter if they
are right or not.
The next 10 days
look like all
sun and no rain.
We'll dry out
nicely before
the fall rain
arrives.

Least accountable job there is.
We ended up getting a little over a half hour of rain the other night. It came down pretty hard, I'd guess it was well over half an inch. With the sun approaching the equator, that goes a lot further. Plus, a cold front brought much cooler temps -- it was in the upper 30s here last night and we may not hit the guesser's target of 70 this afternoon. Still, we could use more rain.
Headed to a neighbors' fire pit tonight.

Finally a good
10 stretch of
mostly sunny
days w/o rain.
Temps are falling
at night which
add to the rich
colors of autumn
which are occurring
in these mtns.
It's going be a
most colorful
year.

That should also let them get some work done on road repairs.
There's possible drought relief headed this way. TS Francine is churning in the Gulf. After making shore as a CAT 1 on the Louisiana coast, it's expected to head NNE. Normally the remnants start to drift more to the east (e.g., NE, ENE) in the days after landfall. But the high pressure we're experiencing may push it further west than normal, maybe forcing it into Canada. But I doubt it misses us completely.
Here's the current cone model:

Towns are
filling the
washed out
voids w/rocks
the size of
bricks making
the ditches
"French drains."
It's the best
way to prevent
several feet of
deep holes "wash-
outs" in the
future.
