Dismal Manor Gang<p>Sunday gets off to a treacherous start with a promising sunrise and early morning. To our south, Chantel is about to begin her recurve run brining the rains and lots of humid air to set up late week rains.</p><p>Rocky keeps on keepin’ on. Still active and sassy. </p><p>DW coughing is diminishing on its own pretty much. Still the occasional period of sticky snot to deal with.</p><p>Off to church then more picking up and cleaning up and maybe a heroic effort to get the last of the hellebores planted. <br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>Dismal Manor looks and feels dismal as FUGmometer reaches record high reading. It is necessary to chew each breath well so it will go down. 23C/23C 100% humidity. High latent heat makes air positively miserable. Rocky would not cross the threshold. DW made it onto the porch to take these unedited images. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>DW has the “right” antibiotic. He’s feeling better. No bladder aches. Normal color. Not sure about the smell. No bellowing.</p><p>Sinuses decided to have a 0200 riot. Fortunately the aerosol saline stopped the goings on over the course of an hour. </p><p>Somehow, Rocky slept in until 0700. He accompanied me to stand sentry while I took the photographs. </p><p>Friday is July 4. Plans are to plant the last 3 hellebores. They’ve been abused by standing in puts for 2 months. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>DW bellowing is reduced as AZO has his bladder comfortably numb. But AZO doesn’t fix the hair trigger. Today’s the second day of AZO. </p><p>DW is on day one of antibiotics. If Doc made a good guess, they should put the fire out. Microbiology results coming. Doc will change antibiotics if indicated. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>Saturday’s first storm has logged 1/10 inches or 2.5 mm with more rain to come between now and supper. We’re having a sun shower at the moment. And Rocky is getting needy. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a>. Video is a 20 second pan of the rain too our south.</p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>Dismal Wizard has been constipated for several days following overconsumption of summer cherries. Merlin prescribed a dose of pan-galactic-gargle-blaster (MiraLax). </p><p>It’s not so bad. No salts, just polyethylene glycol power to mix in a half-glass of water and sip down over 15 minutes or so. Tastes like ice-water.</p><p>Dismal Wizard remains near the loo and fasting until this stuff does its job. </p><p>Rocky has sought out high ground until after the eruption.<br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>Wednesday dawns gloriously Dismal. AQI forecast is 100, about 2x normal. Overcast to our east and south is making for a dull sunrise. Mr Sun 🌞 is just now rising above the low cloud layer and casting feeble sun puddles. </p><p>Canadian Woman, we don’t want your wildfire smoke!</p><p>Rocky has been out for a comfort break and a bit of fescue where it is still growing. Brown spots are invading the lawn. The hot, humid fungus that gets into the cool season grasses.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/greyhounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greyhounds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/VAwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VAwx</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>Canada wild fires continue. And the smoke is present in our atmosphere. PM 2.5 has been creeping up indoors for several days. Today’s forecast is for moderate air quality (77) with outdoor PM 2.5 of 66. Thank you Canada.

It’s the smoke. And Rocky’s cooling by panting is impaired by the high humidity. And his lung tumors. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/greyhounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greyhounds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a><br>DW off for labs draw.</p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>Boffins warn of heat and humidity with pop-up thunderstorms possible. </p><p>Today dawned with yellow haze in the eastern skies. Wildfire smoke is likely in the area. PM 2.5 is 2-3 indoors in spite of the efforts of the air filter up front. Radio warns of medium pollen.</p><p>Air Con is running well, knock on granite. <br>Rocky held 6 AM reveille and Dismal Butler has fed him and sent him out on patrol. </p><p>We’ve not seen the magic bus this morning. Nor any teenager hoodie shuffle-wraiths</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>Dismal Manor gang is up. Rocky is fed and awaiting his corner. Waffle batter is “resting” while DW does the checking. Rocky is out checking his hares and having some fresh fescue.</p><p>The morning was bright with haze and humidity but not a <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/HHH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HHH</span></a> hellscape.

Dismal Manor Gang<p>Wednesday, Dismal. Thursday, Dismal. Friday, a little more of dismal …<br>I ventured out for some of the abundant fresh fescue. Servants are stalling brekkie until the 0650 local news. </p><p>DW has a severe frog stuck inside. Trying to cough up a lung. Waiting for sinus meds to kick in. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/summer_cold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>summer_cold</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>Thursday is off to a gray start. I’ve been out forasplash and dash plus some fescue salad after heavyra rains Wednesday. </p><p>Thursday’s weather is expected to be unremarkable. Updated 5 day forecast expected by 0900 Thursday. </p><p>DW continues to cough and carry on. Wednesday night cold decided to have one last go ar torment. Symptoms gone untill Thursday evening. <br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/greyhounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greyhounds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>Dismal Wizard bellowing has largely stopped. Cold is in the quiet whimpering stage as thick gray-green snot replaces the bright green copious stuff of Tuesday. Still headaches and coughing. </p><p>Rocky held 0540Q reveille again. Apparently, it is very important that I observe morning twilight as he keeps getting me up at star time. </p><p>Today’s images were nicely gloomy. But not very wet. Light and Morning Edition appear to be primary wake-up cuing.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/greyhounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greyhounds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>I woke servants up at 0530 to see the sunrise. It was brilliant, a rarity here at DIsmal Manor. So DW scampered out in knickers iPad in hand to take meh photos of the cataclysm. iPad Air in auto misses. All were overexposed. So much for Apple AI. They needed at least a stop of underexposure to strengthen the colors.<br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/VAwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VAwx</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>Somehow, we are having a nice evening. I stood sentry for taking of the evening snaps. Now I want my bedtime treat. I’ll ask for seconds around sunset.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Greyhounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Greyhounds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>The rain has stopped, the dismal continues. Actual 7AM views from our porch. Redfin has her software update smolder on. Bug fixes dropped last night. No new features.</p><p>Rocky is doing well and has been out to do Rocky necessities and check for hares and shuffle-wraiths. None of either. </p><p>DW redeployed the mole annoyers as the gophers have found a new spot to tunnel. And we have a couple more of the good P3 International annoyers coming.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/greyhounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greyhounds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>The echos of the amplifiers still ringing in their heads following the Wood Brother’s concert, our Boffins have pieced together a weather hazards buffet and storm forecast. </p><p>Excessive rainfall possible locally. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms possible. Scattered polite thunderbolts ⚡️ happening but without wind 💨 and hail. </p><p>Here at the Manor, 14 mm rain to now with moderate rain falling.</p><p>Bonus Nor’easter development possible in the Graveyard of the Atlantic.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/VAwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VAwx</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>A promising dawn breaks on the Cape of False Hope. High cirrus clouds foretell an approaching cold front and rain in 18 or so hours. But it is a dry 64F with pollen in the air. Somehow Redfin is clean but Dismal WIzard’s sinuses are in alarm. </p><p>Rocky is still comfortable and active. Apparently his tumors are the slow sort. I was really expecting lymph or other symptoms by now. Poo is looking normal. Appetite normal. Breathing is normal. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/greyhounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greyhounds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/liveshow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>liveshow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/tonight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tonight</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>I woke the servants at 0540 to do important things. No teenage hoodie shuffle-wraiths detected so I’m having some fescue salad while Mr. Sun considers Tuesday’s spectacular. Sun is rising with yellow haze on the horizon and scattered high cumulus clouds. </p><p>And it’s 0620 and my dish is still empty! I’ve not been fed. Next servants will want to “shave” and “dress”. </p><p>I want my brekkie! And my treats! Now!</p><p>Wood Brothers live at Perry Pavilion tent Tuesday night.<br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/greyhounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greyhounds</span></a></p>
Dismal Manor Gang<p>I thought it was really important that servants see first light. I held reville at 0530Q. Harsh measure but I was full. I’m light activated so the days of sleeping in to 0730 are over for now. </p><p>Servants observed that 0530 horizon was clear. By 0630, the fugly has began to come in. There was a halo of haze and thin clouds around the horizon while overhead was clear. </p><p>DW has already checked the signs. Two nice days, Wood Brothers live show at Perry Pavilion then storms.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/check_in" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>check_in</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/greyhounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greyhounds</span></a></p>
