Midway & Daytona have same morning lows!

Thats right folks. According to Midway and Daytona Beach’s ASOS, this mornings low of 66 degrees was reached at both sites. Interestingly, Midway had a higher dewpoint!

When leaving work this morning, I almost threw the heat on in the truck. I used great mind and physical control not to do so.

Having similar lows this early in the fall season, in my opinion, is unusual. Usually this would occur 4-6 weeks down the road as we start recieving cold fronts.

Go rain go, Go rain go

We are all familiar with the Cubs song “Go cubs go”. After some intense research, I have discovered that this song is based off of an old Chicago Flooding Rain song titled “Go rain go”. As luck would have it, I just happened to find the original raw video of “Go rain go” and posted it on my site for you guys.

Update on me over the past few weeks

Its been about 17 days since I moved back to Daytona and I’ve been quite active. Tropical Storm Fay was hanging around for several days, had a visit from my cousin, I’ve been visiting some old watering holes, been to the dog track and the beach, and went to Key West Aug 23-26th to see Ma & Rob renew there vows. Also, Ma & Rob were over for Labor Day weekend.

Earlier this evening, I watched the Daytona Cubs faceoff against the West Palm Beach Cardinals. The game was delayed during the bottom of the 5th inning because of heavy rain. After 30 minutes of moderate to heavy rain, the field had too many big puddles and was called.

I’m pretty much settled into the new apt. The pad is small and reminds me alot of a cottage in Wisconsin. I am now turning my attention and focus on getting into a set sleeping pattern. Also, I will be working on gaining weight and working out at the gym.

Fantasy football league begins this Sunday. yay! And because I work the midnight shifts, I will be able to catch all the bears game down here - most of which I will be visiting the Daytona Ale house to watch. Next week, I may drive out to Kathy’s.
