NOT a Good Start

We made TWO pots of coffee this morning, the first of which went down the drain.  I used yesterday's grounds to make the first pot, failing to add fresh coffee and a new filter to the mix.  Senility is creepin' in, there's no other possible explanation.

Update, 0905 hrs:  This is NEW MEXICO?


The good news is we're down from the 83% humidity of an hour ago but it's still sticky.  WTF is up with our WX this year?

    At least you did't add new coffee to the used grounds!

    Senility? Nah. It's Global Warming.

    Screw Global Warming, I think it's the gotdanged Global HUMIDITY! We're at 83% this morning and it's frickin'sticky (all one word). What happened to New Mexico... when did we turn into Mrs. Hippy?

    Well, you know Buck, they say the memory is the first thing to go.

    I can't seem to remember what the second thing is...

    I know what the second thing is and it left long ago... not due to any physical limitations, mind you. Just social ones. Sorta. ;-)

    Next think you know you will be putting on your shoes and then your pants.

    Ah, Lou. That presupposes I'd be wearin' shoes... and you KNOW my propensity for goin' barefoot. Unless I'm goin' out, at which point I'm already dressed. So: Never happen.

    Damn, Buck, you might as well be here in Rochacha today(72 deg.)

    Can't complain though, we've had a wonderful summer and spring, once in a lifetime stuff including @ 20 striaght days at 80 deg. or above. Hopefully August won't let us down.

    I remember the old timers in NW New Mexico (Aztec, Bloomfield, etc.) telling me that in their lifetimes they had seen a dramatic rise in the humidity.

    Sure, it wasn't anything like I was used to...and would kinda giggle when they talked about it. But, it's been changing for a long time (at least anecdotally). I think I spelled annecdotally wrong. Sigh.

    Buck, about two weeks ago I made a fresh pot of coffee, and when I went back in the kitchen the carafe was full of clear, hot water.

    Two of my very first blog posts. Two short tales:

    Oh yeah, the weather. Here it's been horrifyingly hot and humid for 6 weeks now.

    6 weeks. For New England this is just plain wrong wrong wrong.

    Today and tomorrow are nice - low 80s, zero humidity. Sunday will rain then back to heat and humidity again.

    GRRRRRR. I need to move to the Polar Ice Cap.

    I don't think it's senility at all. It's that our brains are so full. Yeah, that's it.

    Small Tee: Summer was ALWAYS my favorite time in Rachacha. It's been so long that I've forgotten the name of the place, but there was this very cool yacht club right on Irondiquoit Bay that has a magnificent deck... and we used to do Happy Hour there at least once a week in the summer. Absolutely brilliant, that was.

    I remember the old timers in NW New Mexico (Aztec, Bloomfield, etc.) telling me that in their lifetimes they had seen a dramatic rise in the humidity.

    This summer's humidity is THE talk o' the town. NO one has ever seen anything like it.

    Kris: I don't know about your neck o' the East Coast woods, but I can sure as Hell vouch for the humidity in SC and Pittsburgh. I thought I was getting away from it by comin' home. Ha!

    Bec: I'll buy that!! We only have just so much space and it does fill up quickly...

    “It's been so long that I've forgotten the name of the place, but there was this very cool yacht club right on Irondiquoit Bay that has a magnificent deck.”

    Ah yes, The Newport House, I was a regular visitor there myself. Who knows, odds are we may have been there on the same night…

    It’s closed now, their trying to build town homes or some such.

    BTW, I live in (East) Irondequoit, not far from the bay.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
