Title: First Sunday in August Lounge
Post by: jbvb on August 03, 2025, 10:40:34 AM
There's a thin, high haze over the lower Merrimack Valley, but plenty of sun is coming through. From high 50s overnight, the guessers say mid 80s this afternoon. And it seems today's haze isn't wildfire smoke (that arrives tomorrow) so "eat, drink and be merry..."

It's the last day of Newburyport's Yankee Homecoming, so in a bit I'm off to watch the parade.  Modeling unlikely today as I'm still working on my All-Crop 66 combine. After last week's rain, the wheat was "chewy" yesterday - that water content grows mold in storage. Should be "breaks leaving powdery surface" by mid-week.

Well, it turns out Scotch Club was held Friday, and several of us missed the announcement.  Bummer!  

Nice weather continues, a bit warmer than yesterday.  High of 84 predicted, sunny, still relatively low humidity.  Temps go up tomorrow and then back down for the rest of this week.  Next week's prediction is for much warmer temps. 

In a bit, I'll head back down to the train room for more work on the belt drive pulleys and belts, etc.

Well, there was a bonus Scotch Club this afternoon.  A couple weeks ago, I brought my Port Charlotte 10, that was quite popular.  Another guy brought his bottle today.
