Good morning all. It's another Saturday and I have some prep to do before Monday's expected rain. Some bags of concrete to get covered and or moved. I've got some gym equipment I need to move inside. I need to double check the chainsaws and make sure they're covered along with the fuel cans. Generally just making sure things that would be outright ruined by rain do not get ruined. Southern CA is expecting a tropical storm or even category one hurricane and that would be the first time since the late 1930's. Way up here where I'm at it's looking like a quick inch of rain, which is awesome. I'll take the cool weather and the moisture to wash the air clean. If you're going to be affected by this storm, stay safe and be ready if you're in the areas expected to be harder hit. This is unusual, don't underestimate it. Read more

Good morning everyone. It's a fairly mild Saturday here and as I sit enjoying my first cup of coffee I'm noticing how quiet it is. No mowers, blowers or chanisaws as folks keep on property management. No skid steers and back-up alarms, trenchers and traffic control as the street is torn apart to underground some new phone lines. One hopes this includes fiber for some internet speeds to finally take this place out of 2005. Of course it is the weekend so the crews won't be out. Even just the occasional bird and the whoosh of a car going by. Maybe it'll be a pretty chill day. Read more

Good morning out there internet and game land. I'm still feeling about half asleep. It's been a long week and today is going to be busy. So let's get right to it. Read more

Here we are again on what's promising to be a hot but not unbearable day around these parts. I have a new fitness equipment piece coming today for my landmine setup so I can viking press with my seven foot bar and that has me pretty excited. Just a handle, but it's going to be a game changer for me. I'm also not working this weekend so that's a huge positive. Let's see what's WRUP'ing. Read more

Good morning everyone. It's still hot AF around here and in fact the entire world. The Arctic Ocean is about 15 degrees F warmer than it should be, global heat records have been broken for weeks now and it's another 100 plus day here. Yesterday it was around 124 degrees in Death Valley (that's 51C) and Palms Springs was 120 (48C). A nice chill temperature to run a CPU, but not chill for people and animals who are having a hard time adapting. Take care of your pets folks, it's too hot to not pay close attention. It's supposed to reach 102 here today (~39C). That's hot enough to reach nearly 200 in a car - Don't leave people or animals in a car. They will die. Stay cool out there. There are pools, cooling centers, splash pads and other public options. Movie theaters have great AC. Even simply getting in the shade will help dramatically. Take a short cool shower, use fans... whatever you have to do outside of jumping into a canal or some other wildly unsafe option. Definitely stay hydrated. That means boring old water, by the way, not sodas and sports drinks. As much as I love a good beer, it also doesn't mean beer, sadly. Okay I'm done with my PSA. Time for WRUP. Read more

Oof, it's hot. I think it's supposed to be 106 here today. Still though, as mild as summer has begun a few days of hundred plus degrees isn't much to complain about for a lot of us. I missed last weekend's WRUP so this week I'll pick up where I left off and wish everyone a happy 4th and here's hoping everyone had some safe fun wherever you all happened be during the holiday. I was in Colorado vacationing for a week and I did get to see a cool fireworks show. It had been raining all day and literally about fifteen minutes before the fireworks started the rain stopped. Then on the way back to home base, because the land is so flat in Fort Collins, we counted nine more shows going on at the same time all over the city. Anyway, nobody cares about that shit, let's get to some WRUP. Read more

Good Saturday morning everyone. Summer began in such a mild way this year with our 70's and 80's throughout the month of June. That's almost unheard of here. But, July is upon us and soon the skin will melt directly from our bodies. It's supposed to be 102 here today and up to 107 tomorrow. I'm glad I'm off to Colorado tomorrow morning where I'll be able to enjoy the 80's for another week at least. But hey, you're not here to read a middle aged dude talking about the weather. It's WRUP time. Read more

It smells like rain out there this morning. This has been such a mild, pleasant segue into summer so far this year and it's a welcome change from last years hundred plus degree weeks and wild fires. And speaking of great segues, it's time for WRUP. So smooth... Read more

Hey there everyone, it's me, Scroo. It's been a rather bustling few days and I didn't get the opportunity to get a WRUP on the board yesterday.

Happy father's day to all you dads out there. Hopefully you'll all be enjoying some family time or something along those lines. I'm hosting a BBQ for my own family and a couple of family friends. We're going to grill some burgers and chill with some citronella candles because the mosquitos may as well be starting their own airline service this year. Should be a pretty chill day anyway. But enough about that. Let's get to the WRUP. Read more

Good morning on a lovely spring day where we're hearing thunder and seeing a warm rain come to clear the air and give us that petrichor smell we all enjoy. This wet weather will cancel my work plans for the day, but I'm not terribly upset about that. I could use a legit day off and frankly I want to play games. Read more
