Good morning! Happy Thursday. Partly sunny and 69 degrees at the Green Mountain National Forest. Calm wind. The dew point is 66 degrees. The muggy weather ends Wednesday around 3 am. π
Today is going to be a hot one even in the Green Mountains, π but it should have lots of sun for solar so I can run my fan all day at work, have cold drinks and go for a swim. Seems like there is a good mountain breeze which should help too.
Today will have isolated showers and thunderstorms after noon. Mostly sunny π, with a high of 81 degrees at 3pm. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around July 1st.

I plan on heading home on Saturday π‘ most likely. This weekend I want to see if I can get to the hardware store and find some soft window screen material to patch the hole in the screen tent. πͺ I am fairly good at sewing from taking Homos and Queers, as they called it back in high school. π« I fix my work clothes all the time. Then I also want to think about when I want to take off a week from work of true vacation – no working or emails or even having cell service.
Hot ol July day
