68 degrees outside on July 5th. I usually keep the house around 72-75 in the winter. What? Am I going to have to start burning year round now. If my office was still in the basement like years before I would have to have a chill chaser down there in the mornings.

Unbelievable. But I'll take it over 95 and high humidity any old day. :cheese:
 
Don't worry, glowbull warming is coming, isn't it? Heck, Fall is only 2 months away, might as well warm up the stove.

I know. If I wanted this stuff I would move to some weird place like, well I don't know the Yukon or something. :bug:
 
Mid 70s this weekend and tom. Dewpoints low...................I can work with this. It damn near rained for 40 days, and 40 nights. Maybe I will wait a day or two, to build that Ark.

It's cold here too Bart. I thought about lighting a small fire on the 4th. I didn't. My bigger problem is that I ordered slab wood almost a month ago and the lumber mill hasn't brought yet. They're only cutting a few days a week. I hope I get some wood this year.

I bet it is a little chilly in West By God. Higher elevation than we are (305 feet above sea level here). Stay on that mill old son. Like Todd said, it won't be long now.

I remember the years when I eyed the wife's antique furniture in February. :coolgrin:
 
Currently 56 degrees at 9:30pm here in my little slice of West Virginny. Calling for a low of 49 tonight. Ahhhhh, gotta love July weather at 3,200' in elevation
 
Warm (sometimes downright hot) days, cool (sometimes cold) nights, dry all the time. The only A/C we have is windows that open. Summer in the high desert country of central Oregon. I can live with it. Rick

But, but Rick. We are going to have four days like that. That should lure you back here. %-P
 
After the longest sunny streak in memory, somehow I don't think Rick will be budging, nor us. We've had .48" of rain since May 17th and that was only on one day in mid-June.

We have had rain sometime during the day here at the house every day since the first week of April. Please send us all of those rain joke tee shirts they used to sell at the airport in Seattle.
 
Rumor is we don't tan out here, we rust! :coolsmile:

Well, maybe that and about $1B in "stimulus" money. ;-P Rick
 
just finished splitting and stacking some maple and pine in the woodshed last week. Temps were above 90 here in the Portland Or. area so felt like I had the stove door wide open standing in front of a roaring fire. Ah, can hardly wait until fall. And this week temps dropped 20 degrees - must be an east wind from Virginia
 
BB, we had a week of that cool stuff and rarely saw the sun shine that week. We finally saw some sun over the weekend and temperature in 70's. Supposed to be 60's again tomorrow but then maybe 80's. Hang in there, summer will get here before fall.
 
I'm loving the cooler temps this year in the NE......its just all the damn rain we've been getting that's bothering me.

What rain? ;) :)

Yeah, I'm kidding . . . I've given up on growing corn in my garden this year . . . mushrooms on the other hand seem to be growing quite well in the well fertilized soil.
 
Yeah I had planned to put a garden in this year, but due to time constraints fortunately didn't get around to it.

This would of been the year to put in rice patties! ;-)

Two days without rain, temps in the high 70s and low humidity. I just realized what this is. Spring finally arrived. On the 4th July.
 
Now, hopefully ya'all won't make fun of me because I don't clean out the stove till July. Momma only raised one stupid son, and thats my brother. :lol:
 
Yeah- been having some cool summer days here lately, too and I still haven't brushed out the chimney...............
