Ok, where is @Meengla?
Is he by any chance on another solo trip reliving the glory days?

Haha! I know, I should rejoin this thread. Just been busy with stuff after the exhausting train trip. You all can notice how little I have posted in this forum since Sept. 5 after I came back from the train trip. But... "I will be back!"

Your state can't handle rainwater.

It's a sacrifice I'm willing for others to make.

What's that? Does it come from a faucet?

Left my doors wide open to let in the breeze.

Caught my blind kitten escorting an opossum out the front door. Very efficient.

The buddy of mine who lives about 45 minutes from you caught this is his barn:



Carried it into the house and asked his wife if she'd like to keep it for a pet.

Just been through the fourth hottest (most 100°F days) all time this summer (records go back 140 years).

Almost no rain since July 4th.

Wind is now picking up.

Join the club. Dry monsoon here in Karachi

Per Google's Gemini, this was the hottest summer in the Lower 48 since the 1936 (Dust Bowl). In my region of South Carolina, summers have been fairly mild for last some years. I was noticing the stinky summer to start right after the 4th of July and lasting through the last 3 weeks of August. But this summer was something else: Started from about the 4th week of June and ended about the start of the 4th week of September.

I have three outdoor thermometers close to my house and watch them daily and compare with the official forecasts daily. No question this summer was the nasty hot one for us too. But rain has been decent after the first few dry weeks of Spring.

Fall has definitely arrived here and last weekend was down to about 50 F (10 C). Our house A/C has been stopped since about 24th Sept and windows are open. Now we can hear the owls and the eagles who reside at our semi-secluded thickly wooded homestead. We typically start the house heater from sometime in second week of October and that runs almost all the time into first 2 or 3 week of April. So "The Winter is Coming" if only the nasty summer is truly going away!
