I'm hoping winter holds off until at least November around here. I'm still not done with my install yet.

Sucky long weekend for you. We have clear and sunny with temps in the 90's for the next 5 days or so. Will be in the water the next 3 days at least.

A week ago it was bone dry and fire bans and heavy forest fire smoke in the air. Now its been so wet and cool with snow on the peaks and mushrooms growing on the lawn. No snow on the ground here but we had some flakes last week that didnt stick (3900 ft here). Second night tonight burning for me this year. Currently 45 out. Sitting in front of the stove in shorts burning a bit of lodgepole and fir. Bring it on!!
