Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Who's the new guy?

 

Its fucking hot out. Really hot. No interest in being outside whatsoever. 5 months till christmas.

 

Guitar dissed us the entire last ski season but now he's back. I've been outside five minutes total today and that's plenty. Edited July 20, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich

I'm glad marks posting again. That makes like 8 people in here.

 

Its raining hard in the poconos.

[momskeeztoo]

Just missed a storm here in upper Bucks.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

This is about the first storm in weeks allentown just missed. We've received over 1.5" of rain at least a half dozen days since early June.

[momskeeztoo]

Yes, we have certainly got a lot of drenching rain this summer. I knew if my husband put drip tape in the garden, we would get a lot of rain 😡

[moe ghoul]

Forecast in the notch for the foreseeable future: 0% CHANCE OF SWAMP ASS

 

It's crispy out right now. Stoked to ride with this kinda weather. Might get a few inches at higher elevations.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Really on the high elevation snow or are you making that up Moe?

[moe ghoul]

J/K. But I am rocking a fleece in the house this morning. It's 56 degrees out and raining. A little chilly in July. It's a beautiful thing. Got up at 5 to let the dogs out, then went back to bed until 9. Windows open, hearing the rain and wind through the trees, all tucked in under a down comforter. JADIP

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Wow just wow tomorrow it's only supposed to be in the lower 70s for the high.

 

I bet RideDE is wondering if the leaves are changing color.

[moe ghoul]

Nice n chilly in the notch tonite, blue skies and sun today. looks like decent weather thru the weekend up here. Gona burn some cals hauling and stacking firewood tomorrow if the place is open in the AM.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

The Ski Diva asked me to do a guest write-up about Mammoth on her blog; it's mostly about traveling solo, but has some stuff about Mammoth.

I am super surprised that more females travel alone than males. I'm guessing you've travelled along a bunch. I'm guessing over half of the trips I've taken as an adult have been solo but I'm already by myself most of the time. Edited August 1, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich

Missed them by a couple of weeks. I skied with the fabulous nopoleskier last winter at Elk, though. I hope to meet CJ at the western Diva gathering if I can make it.

Yeah, way more than half my travel is solo. As a single, socially-awkward Plain Jane who is also very old and loathes dating, I simply wouldn't be able to do most of the things I enjoy if I didn't go alone. But I don't regret it; the benefits in terms of confidence, competence, and heightened awareness are awesome. And I wasn't exaggerating about the people I met in Mammoth; they were universally warm, friendly, helpful, and fun.

I'm still surprised that more solo travelers are females than males. The majority of people I know have never travelled alone before except perhaps for business. Even just going to a restaurant or bar many won't go alone. Recently my friend Ellen said to join her and her friends at broadway social in Bethlehem. When I arrived she asked me who I was with...ugh myself. I guess some people won't even meet a group of friends alone. When I had a season pass in dorney park in middle school it was sometimes hard for me to find kids to go with me, the same with skiing in middle school and early high school..so I'd just have my parents drop me off and once I could drive I really could do the things I like a lot. Way to get after it. I'm going to Europe solo next year. Previous trips to Europe were with my mom or with an ex so I'm excited to go alone

This might explain it. Seems to show that there are just more single women than men in most places.

That's crazy likely because more men are incarcerated than women...women are less likely to die young as well...it's interesting as I know more boys are born than girls. I'm going to the wrong places sometimes karaoke night looks like the biggest sausage fest this side of Munich.
