The forecasters say that it might crack 100 in Philly, NYC and the surrounding areas.  Oh baby!!!!

It hit 100 in my area, 108 down on Long Island.  The local trout streams must be like bath water.  A prolonged heat wave is definitely going to take its toll on trout.  Not good. 

We had lightning, a clap of thunder, then a 5 minute downpour in the middle of the night.  However it didn't do anything to break the heat.
 

yes it is brutal out there.. I really want to paint all the trim on my 2 story house this year. I been out there with the pressure washer yesterday and today trying to do a little at a time.. Very LITTLE as it only takes about 30 seconds before I'm soaking wet, not from the pressure washer either..
 
NASTY, nasty HOT out there..  At least I will be working the grave yard shift starting tonight.. ugh !!!!
 
Stay Cool fellas ..

Temp is saying 96 .3 with a heat index of 108. Sakes alive. Tomorrow is supposed to be 99 with gosh know what the index will hit.
If fall is only 8 weeks away , I'm ready.
It's been a crazy season so far for sure. Snow and freezing into Memorial Day , rain for weeks on end and now Death Valley .. Enough already !!! I want to fish !!

Batten down the hatches...heavy weather coming to Salmon Country!

talk about HOT !! last night I was stuck in the cave pushing stuff like this with a D-9 bulldozer..  Funny (not really) thing is , the guy before me had the dozer catch on fire.. Luckily he was able to put it out with an extinguisher and he & machine are fine:

 
Well seems the heat wave has finally broke.. It's not to humid and pretty mild outside outside right now..
Time for sleep.......

Last night was windy as hell, and a good rain is hitting today. Hopefully they dont release the water so the river rises again and they actually save it for the fall and such. 

Almost done with the first cutting, weather has turned around nice.   Forecast for next week in Quebec is high of 75 low of  53, partly cloudy.   Sounds like walleye weather to me
 

First cutting ? Yikes.. Well have a great time in Canada , my your hands be covered in fish slime , your bellies full and good times had. Can't wait for the report back.

I have been sleeping through the days but weather here is just OK. No storms , lower temps but still running the A/C.
Hoping to do some fishing for eyes on the Mohawk weds.
Feeling kinda pumped about some upcoming opportunities on the big pond.
Got something in the irons in early August and firm dates with bro- in - law August 24- 28.
Maybe I will catch some of you local cats then.

Be well , time for more sleep before I head into the graveyard.

Yes it was as last night we had a massive flash flood that crippled the plant around 3:30 am. It wasn't fun and I was/ am drenched to say the least.
I started to get worried around 2 am, not for the plant but my son and granddaughters safety.
They are tent camping in Copake at taconic park, bish bash falls.
Tried to call them all night and still this morning with only straight to voice mail.

Hope you all weathered the storm

High around 70 with low humidity.
I know its still a long way off but I think I got a wiff of autumn here yesterday.
Me likie!

TS Dorian is on it's way......I'm enjoying this fall like weather today!

You in Happyland?

the weather has been steller the last few days and with that I finally got some time to play a little:
