The weather's been crazy here too. It was super hot early (May) and when
I say hot, I mean 40C and humid. We had a few tornados and of course
half the country is on fire. August was rainy. It's the first summer in
a long time where the lawn didn't burn out. Now it's back to normal
again. I didn't spend much time outside. The rain made the mosquitoes
bad :(

I'm good. Busy at work. I'll take some time off soon now that it's 
cooler outside to poke around in the yard and put the gardens to bed for 
the season. It's good for my mental health.
This winter I'm going to set up a grow room in the basement and see if I 
can get some veggies to grow over the winter.
I feel like it might be a long winter, with the writers and SAG on 
strike, there will be nothing on tv.
I need to discover some hobbies or read more.
