Always the worst part of Summer trips to visit my wife's friends in Aspen. After a week spent in temps ~78/48 and dry, you land back in Houston and it's 97 and 100% humidity, an extremely unpleasant sensation that hits you the second you step into the jetway. Makes you start re-thinking your life choices on the drive back home from the airport.
Group of guys headed out to our lease last weekend and got a bunch of work done. Got a brand new stand and feeder set up, fixed and reinforced a year-old stand that got knocked over in high winds, and set up a new feeder at an old but decent stand whose feeder crapped out a while back.
Also set up a couple of cellular game cameras at the new feeders. Have already had some ladies pop by, despite the fact we aren't even feeding yet.
Hot AF today. "Wet Bulb" temperature up close to 91 in Houston today. Any WBT above 90 is considered "extreme" and people are encouraged to limit time spent outdoors.
Top 3 best Wins of the year.
After leaving 14 LOBsters on the bases last night, and shitty defense costing multiple runs in both games, it was really nice to see us make them pay with bases juiced in 2-out situations. Dubon and Bregman with major redemption today.
Through the first 14 innings of this series, it was beginning to feel like the win streak and getting back to .500 was fools gold, and we were backsliding into old bad habits.
They're finally started tearing down the old Sears yesterday. Drove by earlier today and there's an excavator wiping out what's left. Been what, 5 years since they closed?
A week away from the start of the Dog Days of Summer (officially 7/3-8/11). Aside from some moderate rain chances this weekend, extended forecast is just nothing but a whole lot of long ass days in the high 90's.
Today is the Summer Solstice. Longest day of the year.
Starting tomorrow, sunrises get later and sunsets get earlier. Just a few seconds off each end at first. Doesn't really pick up steam until you get closer to the Equinox in late September. At that point we start losing nearly a minute off each end every day.
Lol. Sounds exactly like the fund managers that have been sitting on the sidelines b/c "recession and deep pullback imminent" and then when they finally have to issue a mea culpa, it's "well, if it weren't for reckless spending/money printing/fake numbers...I would have been right. Recession definitely soon though!"
