Not everyone's back yard is the same. This is the driest summer I can recall in my 47 years of living.

After having a reasonable start in June with about average rain; back to being a rain forest here. Morning coffee on the deck includes a dose of the previous days rain continuing to drop from the tree leaves on me and into my coffee. Wish I could send some your way.

That’s beautiful though, wet lush emerald green temperate rainforest of the Appalachians ! Mmm!
 
Clouds managed to clear enough last evening to catch some of the Perseids meteor shower. May head up the Parkway this evening if the weather cooperates.

Not looking too promising for tonight per the HRRR:

Here’s to hoping we have a fall this year as opposed to being stuck in summer until November ( like 2016 $ 2018-19)

Finding preworkouts without caffeine is a pain. I get Migraines with too much caffeine for some reason. I've been through most of them cant say i love any of them.

I did a few as well, and I threw them away and just embraced the darkside.

I've been a caffeine junkie since my days in Iraq slamming rip-its all day.

I heard the stuff Rich Piana ( rip) used to sell is very intense. Pre workouts are just cocaine and meth combined .

Speaking of shoes, kids used to knock Skechers but now that I’m older honestly I’m tempted to invest in some . Might be one of the most comfortable brands of shoes right there . I hope they make light up adult Skechers!

Still like my crocs! Just found a store in Wisconsin that has up to 17’s in stock! From work boots to Golf shoes! It’s amazing!
 
I don’t know anything about lifting weights or anything. I’m curious if it’s harde to get big with longer limbs and maybe longer muscles? I think shorter people look bigger with muscles easier? I really have know clue!! I always wanted to be big and watched the occasional muscle mag or whatever on ESPN! I wanted to look like the white Lee Haney? He was huge back in my timeframe. I just don’t have the dedication to do it. I wanted just mass, like the strong man guys, not the pretty ripped muscle! I wanted to look bigger and meaner than I already do!

I wouldn’t say it harder but you do need to gain more muscle to show if that makes sense. A small frame shows faster with like 10 pounds of muscle due to the smaller body frame. You on the other hand being 9ft tall and probably over 230 would have to gain probably 2x that to show the same gains per inch. So harder no but more muscle yes.

It's crazy we have gotten decent rain here but heat/dry stress is starting to show today. I noticed quite a bit coming into work and when I went to lunch.

Eh, the ground could use a few days in the real world, where it doesn't rain inches every day. It needs to toughen up!

Well with your terrible liver it might be 50/50 if you can survive the transformation. Steroids and liver health don’t mix. Might want to just walk and read the newspaper like me and leave the pain to those young boys.

I keep forgetting about the liver!
 
Yall, my nerves for Atlanta with Fred. I can't stand this ish! I hate when they come up through GA! Sigh!!!
 
For someone who wants decline and slow growth the 2020 census for NC looked promising for the future . Pitt county was a shocker , it was projected at 180k and only ended up at 170k. A mere 2k greater than 2010 census . Halifax county lost more than projected too, was projected at 50k , a drop of 5k but ended up at 48k, a drop of 7k. Franklin county was forecast to grow more than it did , it only gained 8k and was below projection slightly . Many counties in eastern NC plummeted . Tyrell county which is the least populous lost 9 percent dropping down to 3200.
 
NC added 900k, if I’m not mistaken it added 1.5 million between 2000-2010 so a slow down in raw numbers . I’d bet 500-600k only this decade at best . We grew by 18.5% 2000-2010 but only 9.5% 2010-2020. In terms of percentages that’s the slowest since like the civil war ! Hope .

@Thor starting to grow suspicious and you understand this better but is that 87k the final number ?

Ok just checked and it is . Apparently frisco NC was the fastest growing . Went from like 200 to 900. You have to be kidding me , a tiny town on hatteras island ? That area is one bad hurricane away from becoming a new inlet lmao, you can’t build like that on an island that erodes like hatteras does but money talks I guess . Though perhaps it was an annexation. .

I'm glad you posted that I've been playing with that for the past 20 minutes.. I like info like that.. South Carolina grew about half of what North Carolina did.

Yeah but SC outpaced us percentage wise . Georgia outpaced us percentage wise as well which is scary as they have a similar population which means their raw was still a lot larger .
