Do you know what you are arguing anymore or have even you lost track?

A lot of worthy content on here. Trust me, I wish this was a better forum as much as anyone.

I’m having a crapton of anxiety that it might actually be cool for a few days during one of our hottest summers on record and it seems like drumming my fingers on a keyboard is the only thing that will make me feel better. Any advice guys?

Have you ever thought about becoming a sleazy lawyer?

Hi

Looks like PDX should meet or exceed their average high of 85 again today.

I just can’t get on board with a complete rejection of reality. I draw the line at a partial

I don’t know if anyone remembers the show Doug on Nickelodeon, but I always imagine Jim being like Mr. Dink.

NPI is looking flabutastically flabbulous.

Could be, but I have a hard time picturing August and September not torching. Niña summer climo!! Good job responding to a post quoting you, btw. Usually it seems like you just log in to spit out a monologue and leave.

Saving all its energy up for August I presume.

Precisely what I said.

Thanks. Yeah each deployment is about two weeks, and every employee who is qualified gets a shot at at least one. I don’t think the backup crews generally get as much into the nitty gritty of direct attack as the regular guys, but if personnel is short you really never know what you will end up doing.

Thanks. I’m being serious. I started working for the USFS earlier this year and they give all employees an opportunity to get their red card and serve in backup fire crews if they pass the training and a few physical tests. I figured why not.

I got pretty close to getting deployed to the bootleg fire this coming week, but it looks like I will be waiting until the next rotation in August. Gotta wonder where/what fires will be burning by then.

I wonder how much of the area being burnt by the Bootleg fire was even forested when pioneers settled the region. A lot of forest in those dry areas have become a lot larger and denser than they were historically, thanks to decades of fire suppression in the 20th century.

Another nice marine layer morning here. Low of 56.

Has your wife let you have any input into their diets yet? Or do you just vent by whining/tattling about downvotes on a weather forum.

Hmmm...try growing a pair.

The fact that anyone would say this about what was still a solidly warm summer by all measures says a lot about the warped perspective on here.

It’s July freaking 9th. How would you feel if someone was saying the calls for a cold rest of the winter were overblown on January 9th, following an all time record cold outbreak in late December and a solidly colder than average January to date with nothing but near to below average weather on the horizon.

Still way better than that one summer 40 years ago where I had to wear a light jacket one evening.

Our greatest heatwave of all time doesn't fit the bill?

Dodged 90 again today. 87/52 spread.
