The Weather Thread

[weedguru_animal]

too mild for my previously needed of the last few days three thermal vests, for my routine after work stance of in the front garden...

I wish it was a little cooler to be honest. I know it's summer and all but seeing as (american) football practices have just started, does it have to be quite so hot on the astroturf field? Or maybe get a little bit of breeze through the otherwise stagnant atmosphere? Oh well, I guess I should just drink lots of water

That's the first time I've heard American football fields referred to as "astroturf." I thought that only applied to real football.

[greensp4rker]

hmmm firstly its not called "real football" its called "association football" and secondly, dont be a silly bugger the material can be applied to a field for any sport and besides, the field also doubles as a soccer field for our school team so it has markings for both... so you could call it a "real" football field too

I wasn't contesting you, I just don't know shit about sports. Not my bag. Only one I do like is MotoGP

What kind of football field has astroturf? Every one I've ever been to has been grass. Wouldn't astroturf make you more likely to get injured?

It's only 85 degrees today but with 57% humidity it might as well be 100. Gonna hit up Barton Springs soon for an icy cold swim

actually most high schools (at least in my area) have astroturf, and just abut every college and NFL football field is astroturf. and injuries are very circumstantial, for example if you have a grass field and its raining its very easy to slip.. however, if its raining on a turf field you still have good grip which can be a bone saver. injuries caused by falling really depend on how deep the padding goes, because astroturf is basically padding and strips of green plastic on top of a parking lot. the more padding, the less likely you are to get hurt from a fall.
The only issue that all turf fields have is turf burns... like a rugburn, but worse because you were probably running full speed when you fell

Lovely to have a few days of sunshine during the day, and then the duvet of clouds above us, cocooning us from the cold through the night...but alas...whilst the wintery sunshine continues, the cloud cover has vanished, and so once the light has vanished, i am in dire need of at least 3 thermal vests to continue my defiant stance of spending 430-630pm, in the gardenm reading and writing and drinking vodka...

3 days in a row we have had lightning storms... lovely! something magical with sitting and watching the lightning demonstrate their raw power while sippin' on a cold dewy beer.

[JTP]

We had some relaxing storms here yesterday as well. Nothing like a light show with relaxing music and a bong.

[weedguru_animal]

we seem to be experiencing a period now of wintery sunny days, and ice cold nights once the light is replaced by the dark...wicked for my garden, awful for my flesh and bones and immune system.
