My wife is at a graduation in MN... but my sons invited me on my boat with their friends. Very nice of them! 82 degrees and calm out here... beautiful evening.

The sky was so blue here today. Reminded me of how it was when visiting Seattle last July. It’s been so long since we’ve had a summer trough that didn’t advect Canadian smoke in I forgot what it’s like to not have that milky white haze blanketing the sky.

This has been one nightmare of a heat wave. 81 degrees here today! Down to 74 now. Humidity at a miserable 49%. I'm glad the bulk of this is over.
