Time to get your tan on.
So I went up to the cabin on Wednesday, and when I passed the ranger station, the fire danger was “Low”, and then it started raining.
Fast forward to today, we’re supposed to hit 98. They’re weird these days, but we do have seasons.
Links?
Harvest season in France continues.
First Utah, now Virginia. Y’all are screwing up my VPN coverage.
If Zuckerberg ended up in a persistent vegetative state, I could live with it. But I think we need Elon for a few more years.
Florida Man in training learns harsh lesson.
Okay, that’s it. Get out there and get your summer on!
Man, that’s something I haven’t heard in a long time.
Happy summer days! I think we will finally hit triple digits in Vegas.
Habenero pineapple bbq sauce has been made. This will be for one of the racks of ribs on the fourth and maybe the pulled pork.
Tonight though will be some carne asada tacos
Today I finally had to turn on the AC here in CLE. Only in the upper 70’s now, but we broke the 80’s with 90% humidity.
Some years ago I came up with a rough formula. AC goes on when temp + humidity >= 150.
Last couple of years I allow 140’s too.
Temp plus dew point, and you have the right basic formula
Interesting. I’ll look into that.
I don’t think I’ve used “dew point” in a sentence since 7th grade.
According to my weather station, temp is 71; dew point is 70; relative humidity is 97%.
Dew points in the 50s are generally quite comfortable up into the low 90s even so long as there is a breeze.
Dew points in the 60s are when things begin to turn clammy when cool and sticky when hot.
Dew points in the 70s are generally fucking miserable.
Dew points above 80 is tropical (I’ve been to Singapore).
Relative Humidity is pretty fucking useless in my opinion. Tell me the dew point.
For perspective, dew points in the 70s mean condensation at room temperature.
I remember my college years when we lived in a house without AC. We’d leave the windows open to get it cool enough to sleep. You’d wake up and the bedding would be damp, and you’d leave footprints in the dew on the carpet.
I told myself I would never live like that again.
Phoenix would have dew points in the single digits for most of the year. You could take hamburger out of the freezer and put it onto the counter to thaw. It would not frost over.
During the monsoon season, dew points would climb into the upper 50s or low 60s. So, take an early June day for Iowa, but make the temperature 105 instead of 85. Fucking miserable.
This is the reason that Europe, and the Mediteranian in particular, has such a great climate. The humidity across the continent is much lower than the US.
Yup. The eastern coasts of both major northern hemisphere landmasses are miserable while the western coasts are glorious weather-wise.
But isn’t humidity calculated from temp and dew point?
(Hey, 7th grade was a LONG time ago.)
Dew point is 64 now. Temp 72. Humidity 76.
I mentioned last night that once I break the seal with AC it’s hard to turn it off again. I could probably deal with current conditions last week; now? forget about it.
People generally think the relative humidity is much higher than it really is. The temp and the dew point have to be very close together before you get to 90%.
Typical Iowa summer. Dew point in the middle 70s. Overnight temp drops to about where the dew point is. Dew covers everything in the morning. Relative humidity is in the high 90% range. By mid afternoon, the temp is 90 and the relative humidity has dropped to somewhere in the 70% range. It’s still fucking miserable, because the dew point is so high.
This is why I generally never bother to try and mow before noon.
Once when I was a teen, a group of us were camping and up quite late. In the wee hours, for reasons I can’t recall, we all ran into a wheat field. Just a few steps in we were all completely soaked from the waist down.
Florida teen filmed ‘shotgunning’ Twisted Tea with alligator criminally charged
Florida Man doesn’t just happen. It takes a (sometimes greatly foreshortened) lifetime of training and commitment. We start ’em up early down here.
Throw the book at em cause you aren’t for crimes that actually you know, have an actual victim.
Not that the alligator should be treated poorly but I am sure it is thinking…this is by far the least harassing thing I will experience.
This is why we can’t have nice things
I, for one, think this young man has great potential. We need more of him.
Sitting here chilling, crafting, listening to Brubeck.
Those sure are some cryptic euphemisms. You a writer or somethin’?
All I crafted were some pizzas with generic grocery store ingredients. Watching 3 Stooges. Cleaned the house for the long weekend.
Totino’s party pizzas or GTFO.
I hate the pizzas, but I flurve the pizza rolls.

Re kids driving: Mine drives. She is a very nervous driver and would vastly prefer being a “passenger princess.” I was driving to the grocery tore on a learner’s permit if my mom needed something. I fucking LOVE driving, especially cross-country. My mom lets me do the driving in her car. My husband lets me do the driving. My daughter lets me do the driving in her car.
I won’t drive in NYC, either.
I’ve done it. I can’t say I enjoyed it.
When I was traveling for work, we weren’t allowed to drive in the Philippines or Shanghai. I might have been able to handle Shanghai, but Manila was on a level I wouldn’t attempt.
I can imagine. A very busy roundabout in England was especially thrilling, on the wrong side of the road, stick shift, especially as the directions were, “second spoke off the roundabout.” Dafuq. There were 9 spokes. Went around that fucker I don’t know how many times to get to the outside, much less off onto the correct spoke.
Big Ben, parliament, Big Ben, parliament…
‘patzie linked this for me the other morning, so I’ll pay it forward.
I have really come to appreciate that song lately.
I’m not sure NYC is any worse than Boston. Done both, don’t care to ever do either again.
Driving in Ireland is an adventure as well.
I’ve been driving in Boston for the last 20 years. No problem, no stress whatsoever. In Manhattan, on the other hand, I just leave my car in a parking garage and pick it up only when it’s time to drive back home.
Manhattan in a Mazda is a piece of cake, but I’m not taking a Crown Vic in there.
County Kerry has some tight little roads on the peninsulas, but somehow they get full coaches down them.
Doing the Ring of Kerry in the opposite direction of the tour buses is an interesting experience.
A Crown Vic roller would be the best car in NYC, bar none. ‘Cause if you aren’t rubbin’, you aren’t rollin’!
Sometimes I miss my Crown Vic.
Don,
I’ll be in Memphis for FreedomFest in mid-July. If you area around, shall we get a beer? If you’re interested, e-mail me at thorby455 AT proton DOT me.
we have beer!
🙂
I too love driving, and yes, driving accross the country is one of lifes greatest pleasures. Sadly, when the wife and I go anywhere, she get to drive, due to sea sickness issues. This is why i go on long road trips by myself every year.
Driving in NYC is no big deal, just remember that the lines on the road don’t really mean anything, that everyone is jockying for possition, and it gives you all five burough to explore. New Jersey can suck it though.
“New Jersey can suck it though.”
Amen.
Late response from me on this – visiting my relatives in Colorado last week. One of my cousins in Boulder (much younger than me) is legally blind due to some eye issues from when he was born. He can see pretty well under particular circumstances and is getting to experiment with some interesting new tech for powered glasses, etc – hoping he gets some more research study benefits. He’ll probably never get a proper license, but he did drive the Razr around when we were up at the cabin, and regularly bikes/scooters everywhere (he has a summer job maintaining 10+ acres of park near their house – just got a raise to something like $19/hr – I told him I never made that much till after I got out of the army).
He just graduated and is heading to U Mass Lowell in a few months. I think one of his hopes is that self driving cars to progress enough that he can get something for himself as soon as possible.
It’s interesting that she doesn’t enjoy driving a car but really digs her fork lift driving job!
She really likes playing Tetris with freight. Her particular responsibility is Tnemec’s freight.
I’ve driven in NYC. Pain but at the right time, doable.
Boston, same.
My toughest driving experience was driving into Melbourne, Australia with Footie game rush.
There’s hubris, and then there’s whatever this is.
OceanGate Advertising Titanic Sub Trips for Next Year
OceanGate, the company that owned the submersible that catastrophically imploded while descending towards the wreckage of the Titanic earlier this month, is still advertising expeditions to the famous sunken ship in 2024.
On its website, the company still lists two missions in late June to “see the Titanic with your own eyes” and “step outside of everyday life and discover something truly extraordinary.”
LOL! Who would be dumb enough to book with them after what happened?
Obviousy the only guy who knew the credentials for the website got imploded.
This is probably correct. They seem pretty fly-by-night.
That is air-tight logic.

That’s what I was thinking.

I’ve always found the Chrysler Turbine car story a neat bit of history. Nice documentary just dropped.
https://youtu.be/fOIrB1fwVPc
I’ll look at it
the think is how to handle the exhaust temps: even with blending, they’re tough
There were 7 generations of engine. Gen 4 was the one in the 1963 car and publicity blitz.
Gen 7 died in 1977.
Last 15 minutes were really touching. I didn’t realize Jay Leno blew his up. Turbine engine manufacturer and volunteer employees are rebuilding it with a bunch the remaining Chrysler engineers.
Heh

My tan looks like this: 😡
You need a hat.
I bought an urban sombrero last summer. That thing gets a workout.
J. Peterman?
Einskey. Sometimes I think these Chinese company names are just random collections of letters pulled out of a hat.
I would call that a gringo sombrero. Me likey.
I like it too. I had to remove that strap because it kept getting caught between two of my chins and choking me.
Not so much a Sombrero as a gringo hat. Agree with Dean.
I have a giant “crushable” straw hat, that I have managed to crush shapeless now.
Gots to protect the pale, bald, noggin!
Of course, this is the hat I need.
Sigh. https://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/6900000/The-Last-Dragon-berry-gordys-last-dragon-6918054-550-207.jpg

Go offroad and find some.
Last week we raced from Oahu to Kauai. The next couple of days after the race were very windy. Add to that a bad sea state with a large swell from the south and 8 feet wind waves from the north creating a choppy mess. We flew back and returned to Kauai yesterday before dawn, prepped the boat and sailed back to the west coast of Oahu. The conditions were good with winds averaging 17kt and 5 foot wind waves. We used a small headsail and shortened the mainsail to the 2d reef point. It was a good crossing but long- 15.5 hours harbor to harbor. The three of us rotated steering every hour so my shoulders are sore, plus my thighs are sore from holding myself in place on a heeling and bouncing boat. It’s a good sore though, an honest sore from working rather than from injury.
Today is house chores as a penance from 18 days of sailing in June.
I both miss and don’t miss sailing anymore.
So you’re saying the canvas *can’t* do miracles?
I would guess that you miss being sailing, and don’t miss doing sailing.
The art of going slowly at great expense.
It’s fun and quite physical as well as very intellectual especially when you race.
I actually prefer just being a deckhand with much less thinking required.
The race from Kanehoe Bay to Nawilliwilli Harbor is ~123 miles straight line distance and boats rarely go straight line over those distances. In the middle of the race you might see 1-2 other boats somewhere on the horizon. Amazingly, about 100 miles into the race our primary competitor and our boat passed each at around 200 yards going opposite directions. The we quickly separated again.
Our boat ended up in 2d place. Last year we were the first to finish but ended up 4th. Not a bad day racing on our part.
I run the foredeck on this boat and help with navigation.
Congratulations.
The other thing about races with various boats is the handicapping makes things interesting.
My racing was pre-internet so we’d frequently be at the bar before we knew what the actual finishing order was.
Very nice. I sailed a little bit when I was a kid, both in Boy Scouts and my mother had a 17′ Sunfish. I was looking to get back into it when I lived on SF bay. But, I was diagnosed and l kinda set it aside.
How is France so out of control? Don’t they have F-16’s?
They thought they did but they were simply Mirages.
Slow clap.
Joining the clap and standing up…
I’m sorry you’ve got the clap.
The Clap, you say?
No, the Clap.
An interesting article on drug use in tech companies. Especially amongst the executives. As someone who has trouble maintaining focus, the talk of microdosing to help focus caught my attention.
Magic Mushrooms. LSD. Ketamine. The Drugs That Power Silicon Valley.
So much horseshit.
These people aren’t taking drugs to “get an edge”, they’re taking drugs because they’re broken.
Ask me how I know.
The workers are all young, cool, recent college grads… of course they’re taking a shitload of drugs.
I would try mushrooms.
Because I’m broken and I know it!
I would too. I hear it kind of reboots your brain in a good way.
I really want to try ‘shrooms sometime.
I probably would too. It’s one of the few drugs I haven’t tried.
There was some promising research on using shrooms in a controlled environment, even just once, permanently resetting the brains of soldiers with PTSD from Iraq and Afghanistan.
I wonder what happened to that? Maybe not lucrative enough for Big Pharma, a phrase I no longer scoff at following the Covid revelations.
What was the mechanism of action? seems like a dramatic permanant impact.
Also, if it is a permanant impact, that raises the question of what other changes might be wrought
Apparently PTSD is a cycle, and the shrooms can break the cycle.
All I can find is a mouse study though. There might be some law preventing human trials so I guess it’s pretty speculative.
Seems worth a try!

Also, psychedelics are fun-ain’t gotta be broken to like them. If you’re doing them every damn day you’re asking for it though.
I get “fun”, I do.
Maybe “broken” is harsh – but I do think abstaining is probably a better goal. Fuck, I don’t even enjoy coffee anymore.
Don’t enjoy coffee? YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!!
I’m not sure if that’s a vid thing or not. I drink one cup a day and I struggle at that. It started around then. And it’s not like I don’t need the caffeine….
I have the “thing I just cooked eggs on smells rancid” effect, too.
Excuse accepted.
Blame the globalists for your predicament.
Oh man, that sucks. I had the vid, but it went away in a week, no lasting effects.
No coffee?
WTF IS THIS FRESH HELL?
I will kill someone if I can’t have coffee at this point in my life.
And yes, I want to try shrooms
Mushrooms are good, LSD is good, ayahausca is good San Pedro is good, and MDMA is fantastic. Psychedelics don’t really lend themselves to abuse, of course you can, but most people won’t as they are kinda something that is self limiting. They can be very very good at resetting, and lead to some insights. They aren’t magic, and should be respected and legal for adults. Setting and ritual are very important for them. I’ve never taken micro doses, only macro, and on a few occasions heroic doses. I not a doctor but I highly recommend them if interested.
Setting is absolutely critical…take any of those in a sinister setting, physical or mental, and good luck (at least with LSD and mushrooms, no experience with the others).
Mdma is in its own class and not quite a psychedelic and is not as setting dependent. It can be great at a party or with a group of friends. The others really demand a more mellow environment. I’ve taken mushrooms at concerts and been fine, but then had them a couple times in those settings and not had such a good time. A bad setting can really be a bummer of a trip, I’ve had a few. They really lend themselves well to a natural setting or at least someplace chill where no big interruptions or random people are likely.
E was amazing the 3 or 4 times I did it.
I probably got a little too handsy with one of my BFFs, and it didn’t matter.
Ah, so like coke in the 80’s business world.
There’s a very loud grad party in the neighborhood behind us. They usually do a huge fireworks show right over my yard, hopefully that’s tonight. I love summer.
People are setting off fireworks around here. Thanks to the acoustics of the area, I can’t tell where.
Every night (and sometimes day) this week here. Sometimes in the middle of the busy intersection. The many delinquents around here have been emboldened in recent years.
I’m just waiting for the local celebratory gunfire, I assume they’re shooting straight up so it’s (mostly) all good.
At least we don’t get that in my neighborhood.
I did have a firework go off just outside my (open) bedroom window at around 4am one year. I was displeased.
People in Indiana love blowing stuff up. This year it’s a 4-day festival.
I was surprised I didn’t hear/see fireworks last night. I assume it’ll start tonight. We’re doing ours tomorrow night.
Yeah. ‘splosions everywhere rn.
They like doing home grown fireworks out here. Some are already going off. By the 4th it’ll be more or less constant and really ramping up after sunset.
My town will be having the 100% privately funded beach fireworks this year. It is a tradition going back over 60 years. Every year I must decide whether to watch from my pool or the beach.
There is usually a big display in the park a mile away on the fourth, and they have bands.
Maybe Smashmouth will play again.
Spent today in Zwak sans wife heaven. Went out junkin’, also known as looking for antiques to restore, rust to hoard, and books to shelve. Then went to the range, shot the Browning HP and the Walther KKJ. Both wonderful. Then went and had lunch at the local brewery, talked to the girls behind the stick, had a spicy burger (not that anything in Oregon is actually spicy) and a couple of the summer IPA’s, which are a very nice, light 3.8ABV.
Came home, took a nap, and now grilled a steak for salads.
Also, my Erol Otis Cthulu shirt came in, so I wore it proudly.

$35 for a t shirt?
GTFO!
I like the design, but not $35 like…
I’ve decided I’m gay and we should totally hook up.
Nice! It’s been humid in Portland so glad to be in the south valley where it isn’t. Well mostly glad.
Instead of paying him the rest of the money owed, the Mets and Bonilla negotiated a deal to make annual payments of just under $1.2 million every July 1 from 2011 to 2035, when Bonilla will be 72, which included a negotiated 8% interest.
Nice deal.
Excellent music choice for the night.
That neighborhood by me just had their fireworks show. 15 minutes long with a grand finale to rival any town’s. And I just sit by the pool and watch it over the trees, a few hundred yards away. 🙂
On the 4th I’ll have my pick of six or seven shows visible from the three directions I can see from my apartment, ranging from Manhattan to New Jersey to Coney Island.
I usually pair that with the teevee showing of the Manhattan ‘works.
I think the 4th is my favorite holiday. It’s summer, there’s fireworks and good food with friends, and you don’t have to buy gifts or go to multiple family parties.
I remember scheduling a flight out of LAX at just the right time to see all the shows across the basin.
Weird hockey and fireworks story just for TOK: 25 years ago a friend lived in the same neighborhood as Eddie Belfour. Everyone loved him, no shenanigans ’round the house.
Ten years before that we would take folding chairs out on 121, this two-lane country road. The new mall on I-35 paid for the show. Today that’s Sam Rayburn (born in TN!) Tollway, and it’s all tract housing solid from Rockwall to Weatherford, but, over the trees, you can still see the show from Eddie’s cul-de-sac.
I don’t know where Belfour lives now. I escaped this week nine years ago. My son moved to Oregon ( a woman thing, but a redhead is what got me to Fort Worth; oh well ) where I’m sure the beer leagues are a bit more successful than they are in Austin; no one taught him how to skate backward….he just started doing it.
I’m thinking he’s still in the DFW area. At least that’s where his whiskey business is.
He played college hockey at the U of NoDak in Grand Forks. When he launched his whiskey he came up here for a tasting and bottle signing event. Still kicking myself for not going and getting a signed bottle.
DFW area
all of this is about 16 miles south of Trashy
maybe I should take NewWife back to the arts district for our tenth anniversary….where we had our first date; maybe I should stop calling her NewWife after ten years
Maybe she would prefer SecondWife.
Probably just WIFE. No qualifier.
I always liked him. So much fun to watch, great goalie.
I’ve heard a few firecrackers nearby from here inside, but the radar indicates we may have some “organic” fireworks here after a bit. I may go out and enjoy those…if I can stay awake until they arrive,
The noisy rain has arrived, but I thought better of enjoying the “fireworks” from the back porch. I can hear it plenty well in here.
Fuck off. You don’t own that alligator and you don’t get to tell people what they do with them. Nor should we be inflicting punishments on individuals to serve as reminders to others how they should behave.
Yeah, it wasn’t too bad from what I can tell. The damn things hang out in ponds waiting for dogs to have a drink or for a drowned deer to drift by. That can of whatever won’t be the worst thing it put in its mouth. From the reaction you’d think they guy was banging it.
Yup, I’m in agreement. It was youthful frigging hijinx, and it’s a fucking alligator for fuck sakes. Yeah, don’t abuse them, but this was really mild. To think of what people do and get away with and this kid they try and nail against the wall. Fuck those holier than thou fucks.
It’s a feeding frenzy of sanctimony from what I can tell.
Complete with buckets of alligator tears.
Don’t they have a “kill in sight” deal for ‘gators, anyway?
I’d say it’s time.

Is it time or is it too late? Seems like the redneck/frat boy crowd has realized Bud Light’s easily substituted for.
I think you could get some percentage of the customer base back. It was cheap swill easily replaced, but it was their cheap swill they drank by choice still.
But it would take them doing something that no modern CEO is willing to do. They’d have to completely turn their back on the quiltbag community’s bullshit.
Pop Tart Cage Match
Sorry, Madge – you are no Taylor or … Pink?
/vaguely remembers Madonna peaking in the 90s, could not name a song from the other two to save his life
I’d say Madonna peaked in the 80s.
I know Pink did “Get this Party Started”.
Taylor Swift I know from Remy parodies.
I had Like a Prayer in mind – 1989. So you’re technically correct.
Take a Bow was 1984, so you were correct the first time.
“Lucky Star” before the smell set in.
Cyndi Lauper >>> Madonna
Totally agree.
If Madonna wasn’t trying to pass her quim off as hot shit she’d be a lot more palatable. Rule 34 and all that but no thanks.

Good morning, Sean! Thank goodness you’re here! The thread just above your greetings almost scared me right out of the post! 😳
Time for some cold brew coffee, choral music on the satellite radio, and a cloudy and damp but not unpleasant morning at Tranquility Base! 😊☕

Morning, Lady and Gent!
Had the coffee, another beautiful summer day. Mosquitoes and deer flies tend to disappear after the sun warms things up. My neighbor is repairing my garage roof from the winter damage. I’ll take good care of him for his efforts, he’s a good and big neighbor. He also has a Bobcat for the heavy work.
Good morning, 4(20)! The mosquito is Minnesoda’s state bird, no? 😉
So glad to hear your garage roof is getting fixed! Aren’t good neighbors priceless?

Oh my.
Tourists from Indiana?
I wonder if that shooting will make the national news. Probably not.
Yeah, that was the top story on the local-powerhouse-for-news TV station’s website this morning. Text says two killed, headline says “At least 2.” Stay tuned for political body-pile-climbing. Also, Baltimore apparently wants to be Chicago.
It’s going to be a long summer.
On a per capita basis Baltimore already far exceeds Chicago.
No kidding? Chicago wants to be Baltimore?
