58' and bright hazy sunny this morning. Expected to burn off and get to 91'. Next couple of days similar then cooler. Maybe 70's.

I hope not Milwaukee where rumor has it some folks plan to attend some baseball games.

Nope. Not even on this continent.

Hawaii?

Forgot to mention that today is the first day of school for the Spokane kids. I went to school in an old building near downtown that is still in use today. No A/C then and I bet there’s still no A/C. It’s going to be miserable for the students and teachers this week.

Saigon.

Ugh, overnight lows in the mid 70’s with what looks to be 100% humidity. I’ll pass.

Another hot one on tap for today. The last two days we have set new record highs at 99 each day. Also the hottest day in September ever (since 1881 when record keeping started). Forecast for today is 102 here in Deer Park but we have a pretty heavy smoke layer that will help keep the temp lower. 59 this morning, much more comfortable than yesterday’s 67.

Four or five days ago we had a pretty severe lightning storm across the western and northern part of this area that started a half dozen wildfires. One was north of our property that was far enough away it didn’t concern me much. Well not anymore, it is spreading south right at our place which is now under a level 1 evacuation. Level 1 is the least severe meaning there’s a fire nearby and be prepared to evacuate. I estimate the fire line is approximately five miles away from out place. Firefighters are having trouble with this one as it’s in a very remote area with no roads or access for equipment. It is very close to Lake Roosevelt so the Fire Boss planes have quick access to water. I’m still not too concerned it will reach our place as once it gets within a couple of miles it will be in the timber company land behind us which is pretty heavily logged off and there are several roads for good access. But….if we get big winds again it could spot right over the logged forest and spark down where our place is.

Here’s a map showing our place and the fire line. The green is level 1 evacuation, yellow is level 2 and red is lever 3 Go Now! The red line is the actual fire line. The fire has grown to 5700 acres.

It’s the monsoon season.

67' and cloudy this morning. Supposed to be mostly cloudy all day but still get up to 87'. Likely muggy with the clouds at that temperature

90F here today. Going to 60 tomorrow and cooler after that with rain in forecast.
We’ve had a great summer. Green and lush, cooler temps and rain almost weekly for a day or so. Had some smoke yesterday for a bit but nothing at all this summer.

Looking forward to cool weather camp, just got a full size buffalo hide for my bed. sleeping on the ground just got better.

busy day under a beautiful Carolina Blue Sky .... 79 with a RealFeel of 78 .... we seldom see the RealFeel temp lower this time of year .... they say it will rise another couple of degrees but I doubt it .... we've been out and about all day, biggest accomplishment, bringing home our new pickup
