It is hot here. 93.4°F on the back porch (in the shade) and 95.2°F on the front porch (near the brick).
The only saving grace is that hot temps are driving down the humidity.
I am not planning to go outside again today.
I had it at 11:30 today. B&E.
Now it is 97.0 on the back porch, in the shade.
Currently 95°F here. You guys finally beat us on the high temps.
97.2°F. I don't know when it will end. It is 3:32 pm and climbing.
The "Field of Dreams" game looking like an early success. I wish I was there. Hopefully this will be a yearly thing and I can participate in the future.
It is 87° down here in my area of the Sunshine State. We had a light rain at 2:30 PM and a very strong breeze off of the Gulf. The sky looks like we will have a thunderstorm in the next 10 or 15 minutes.
Our all time record is 97°F. August is our hottest month. The thing that gets you in Florida is the intensity of the sun. You better keep plenty of water on hand if you are working outside and wear a straw hat. The sun will eat you alive. That is why they invented Gatorade
No kidding. I love real breakfast food!
We are setting on 98, we are also in the shade!!!
Had to drive to Columbia to pick up wheel bearings for a tractor today. On the way home the car said 98. Waiting until morning to install bearings. Southern Kentucky in August, Gods curve ball, I guess.
Officially 94f at 6pm in Maryland, and it feels every bit of that. I took a 3-mile walk just to stay on schedule at noon when it was flirting with 98f and I was having flashbacks of Mogadishu, light headedness and all.
Any of you baseball fans watching the Field of Dreams game? It’s on Fox now. A little over the top with the pre-game but should be a cool contest. Of course everyone wants to see a ball hit into the cornfield.
I'm dialed in...I wish I was there.
As a kid, baseball was life to me. If I couldn't get up a game among the neighborhood kids, I was in the yard hitting acorns with wiffle ball bat or practicing catching ground balls by throwing a golf ball at a rock wall. If necessary, I'd sweep snow away. The last year I played at 37 with a bad leg and bum shoulder on my throwing arm, a 25 year college coach told my teammates I was the best third baseman he had ever seen. I still love the game itself, but all sports are getting so woke these days.I just try to hit the ball. I am a horrible athlete so I can't choose on "what" I am going to hit!
Meh, rookie numbers. We're at 92°F right now.

I know. Just kidding. You guys and gals ain't acclimated. @starchief5 and @_Rooster really experience brutal heat 600 miles west of us. We've been very, very lucky so far this summer season with only 2 days greater than 100°F.
I put black tape on baseballs to see them in the snow in Michigan. Rubber-coated baseballs in the rain. Broom sticks and pebbles...pebbles...pebbles. Hitting rocks on the train track wasn't fair to the rocks. I loved the game. Totally engulfed.... Alas, no more... I played a little third myself along with first and right field. Everything but legs... Hand eye coordination is/was uncanny. Could hit anything I could reach but had a good eye for balls and strikes. Well disciplined but I wanted to hit and did. Legion ball and a small stint above that...
I was discussing with my wjfe, this has been a cool summerMeh, rookie numbers. We're at 92°F right now.

I'm loving this Field of Dreams game. Some of the images have been awesome, especially the sunset shots.
Well done MLB! That was fun for this baseball fan!
Morning all. End of another work week for some.
Front came through and took the heat wth it. Still in the low 70s now but the highs won't nearly be like they have been.
Was going to take the little guys camping but the campground(s) is full...so may just set up in the backyard...have a cookout...have a fire, etc.
Going to the store today and that's about it. Y'all have a good day.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear. 81% humidity. We're expecting highs around 99°F or so.
Wife watched NBA Summer Leagues last night. She's really got into watching pro ball. Not me. Love the college game.
I'm heading into work around 1:30 pm today. Must clean out my cube in prep for our move after return to work come October 1st. COVID keeps climbing and we may push it back even more. Our SEC Kick-off event has been cancelled for second year in a row due to increased COVID cases.
Happy Friday!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

When I was a kid we use to play baseball several games a day. Were a couple empty lots in the subdivision...and it was bordered by a very large empty field...and as soon as it started warming up in the Spring we were out with shovels and rakes 'building' a bball field. We would play everyday all Summer long. I wasn't very good...basketball was my game...but we had fun. Don't even see kids outside these days.
With all the wokeness, I could care less about sports now. I look at life thru the prism of biblical standards, and some may disagree. but wokeness is not that standard at all.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 74° and muggy here in Eastern Kentucky. This is will bring a slight chance of a thunderstorm and a high of 89°.
Everyone stay safe on this Friday.
Everyone stay safe on this Friday.
Still playing softball at 64 but, the better description would be to say "playing at". Not playing the seniors leagues yet but, am looking at doing that next year. My wife ask me when I was going to stop playing and I told her "When teams quit calling to see if I am still wanting to play". I pitch so, I don't have to cover a lot of distance on the field. This was our State Champion Team in 2015. I am on the far right as you look at the picture. We have since won 2 more (state titles) but I can't find the pictures for those.

Was that video just from last year? Gas was $1.48. Gee....the hair styles look older.
Good Friday the13th
When it rains it pours. LOL. Fred is headed our way with winds about 50 mph by early Monday and we expect up to 7 inches of rain. That on top of the 20 we have had this month. The grass is green and the flowers in bloom. We can always use rain in Florida so this little blow will be refreshing.
Currently we have 73° and the high will reach 86° by midafternoon. Our chance of rain today will be 40% by late afternoon. A typical August day in the hottest month of the year.
It was nice to see baseball get some good reviews. I too was a baseball geek when I was a kid. I knew every major league roster, all 25 players on each team. Of course we only had 16 major league teams back then but now I can not name one. Baseball was King and the stars were national heroes second only to the Heavyweight Boxing Champion of The World. The "Champ" was on top of the Sports World.
Let me introduce you to Fred. Trust all have a great day and maybe sometime next week he will send some rain to your neck of the woods.

Freddy? On Friday the 13th? Sawnee you better head for the hills. I'm not sure the clouds spelling out "Get Out!" would be a more clear omen than a Hurricane named after Freddy Krueger approaching on Friday the 13th.Good Friday the13th

Good Morning D-League,
It's a balmy, muggy 73 degrees here to start the day; 93 and humid is the forecast along with the daily round of afternoon thunderstorms. Get out and do your yardwork or exercise right now before the heat/storms hit later on.
As others have mentioned, I really enjoyed that Field of Dreams game last night, from Kevin Costner and the players emerging from the cornfields to all the homeruns hit into the corn stalks, the old 1910 style uniforms from back in the old days; not to mention all the old farmhouse/homestead look to the entire surroundings. It was a very unique atmosphere and I 'm glad to see that MLB will doing this again in the future. Well-done all the way around. As baseball geek, I sure wish I could have been there to see it in person. Anyway, it provided a nice break from all the bad news, stress, and negativity in our world.
I hope you all have a nice day, enjoy it the best you can.

I'm concerned that the SEC and other conferences will go back to near empty stadiums due to COVID. Seems to be heading in that direction.Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear. 81% humidity. We're expecting highs around 99°F or so.

The week before Christmas 2020 I filled up to go to see my children and I paid $1.709. At the same station yesterday it was $2.989.
I don't like Joe's policies.
I was listening to a Memphis radio station this morning and some rock concert around there is making anyone attending show proof of vaccinations.
Cities like New York, New Orleans, San Francisco and probably many more require proof of vaccination to go to a restaurant. Some churches in Atlanta require proof to attend their church. As this spreads who is to say some WOKE food stores will not do the same.
So extending this to sporting events could be a reality.
I read Amos 7 and 8.
It is a cloudy 78.4°F on our way to 90°F. We have a 60% chance of rain and I hope we get all 60 of them.
I hope and pray that the SEC allows the crowds back in. We now know that Covid is not spread that much outside. Football is outside so let us have a normal season.
On Fred, I am also hoping that Fred will send some of that rain up to Smiths Grove. He does not have to worry about sending any to Central City or Burkesville areas just my area.

What a mess. The tickets are already purchased. How would they decide who goes and who stays? Season ticket holders first? My neighbor has tickets to the Missouri game on 911 and he's concerned.
