Back on multiple day reports spanning two different months today, trying to get caught up on my records. I still need to post the records for July 23 through July 30 but will do that when I get the chance, as I did make my last post covering that period during my birthday celebrations and the surprise visit by my daughter Robin and my grandson Gideon during most of that period. I will condense this post similarly to others I…

Sunday was another hot one, as my 96.5 degree high today was the hottest (so far) temp of the summer, barely eeking by the 96.4 degree high I had back on the 17th. I now have had 12 days with maxs (rounded to the nearest whole degree) of 90 or greater this July, and 19 for the year. Sunday was…
