65 with a RealFeel of 72 with a 4MPH breeze under a beautifully clear Carolina Blue Sky .... forecasted high 87 with chance of afternoon/evening thunderstorms .... most of the things we need to take care of today center on us leaving in the morning to spend 4 days at Myrtle Beach

We really like Myrtle Beach. In fact we were there in March for a few days at Apache Pier.

60 this morning with very smoky skies. Cool down starts today but still 94 is the predicted high. There’s enough smoke that we might not see 94. Cooler this weekend and maybe some light rain first of the week. We sure need it.

Myrtle Beach is less than a 3 hr drive from our house .... when we went to Bass Pro a while back they had an area setup trying to get folks to sign up for a sales pitch at Myrtle .... unsure exactly what its all about, best guess some time share program .... we hav no interest in a timeshare but for free Motel and enough expense money to more than cover the trip, we decided to take them up on it .... all we have to do is listen to sales pitch .... with us buying a new truck right now 4 basically free days at the beach sounded pretty good

68 when I got up earlier due to a heavy smoke layer. The sun is just now (noon) starting to peek thru a little bit. It’s supposed to stay this way thru tomorrow with a hint of rain on Sunday.

Several days ago I showed a picture of a part of the Spokane River with a dry bed. Last Tuesday our power company opened the dam above as scheduled and the riverbed is now flowing normally. So far, this has been the driest summer on record. Not good as the fall rains are still weeks away.

We've been pretty smoke free this Summer but now it's somewhat smoky due to a couple of nearby fires started by the a recent lightning storm. Not too bad now, always remember how smoky it was one time years ago. Driving alongside the Columbia River and you could not see the other side. I was still working at that time and until we shut down all the outside HVAC air coming into the building you could look down the longer hallways and see the smoke.
