I wonder how long it'll take the tech companies to deploy hordes of deathbots to protect themselves from the hordes of angry people coming after them because they gave all their jobs away to said deathbots. I have said it before, and I will say it again, bored and hungry people = very bad.

Well not ideal #TeaByTheSeaInTheTrees: Thomas Howe edition, but I'm out here doing some work, so we'll make due. Colour is nice even without the extra pop of sunshine. Now if #nlwx can hold the rain off till I'm done, thaaaaat would be greeeeeaaaat.

Nice-ish #nlwx for #TeaByTheSea: Corduroy Brook edition. Seems like the wind has blasted the trees mostly clean a bit early this year, but still decent enough to squeeze some good fall vibes out of 'er. Can't complain about the sky condition, the wind was fierce and cold though.

Two days in a row of brush cutter work here at Gander Disc Golf Course, and coincidentally, two days in a row for #TeaByTheSeaInTheTrees: Airport Nordic edition. #nlwx is making this work perfect to be out doing.

Well I finally got an answer about all the brown trees just outside of Clarenville. Seems it was a spotted tussock moth. Doesn't discriminate what trees it goes after apparently. #TheMoreYouKnow

Cape Breton totals so far: 150-250+ mm in 48 hrs. Showers/periods of rain continue to track in. Another trace to 5 mm today for most; however, potential for another 10 to 20 mm across Victoria county and through Sydney and Cape Breton county. The rain finally tapers off tonight and into Monday.

Well that hits quite literally close to home.

Our storm really pounded Cape Breton overnight. Via Cape Breton Mesonet, totals are already in the 100-200+ mm range for much of the Island. ECCC has upgraded the Rainfall warning to an Orange Alert Level for CB. Photos taken in Richmond Co. at St. George’s Channel and in St. Peter's. #nsstorm

Another Gander Disc Golf edition of #TeaByTheSeaInTheTrees today, since #nlwx currently isn't much good for anything else. Just a bit of cleaning up before the upcoming tournament. In spite of all the grey and drizzle, it aint so bad out here.

Wabush was reporting freezing fog this morning... Ladies and Gentlemen, we'll be making our descent down into winter now, please stow all your summer valuables and make sure your tray table is in the upright and locked position. I'm just kidding, it's not that drastic, but still... he comin. #nlwx

I've always wanted to be present at a family supper at Peter Cullen's house to see if him saying something mundane like "Would you please pass the salt?" in his Optimus voice would make it sound awesome. Let's be honest, we know it would. Iconic voice.

Tried to get the phone to take a decent moon shot, turned the exposed down and got this... Close enough I suppose? Amusing to note that the full moon is apparently tomorrow night. Coulda fooled me, other than it's not eclipsing, so it's not full.

August 26th and I'm finally getting to burn the last of the spring cleanup... And this wood still isn't dry. It's hissing like a bunch of easily offended people watching standup comedy. Wicked evening for it though. Warm and barely a breath of wind. #nlwx

Beauty #nlwx for #TeaByTheSea: Salvage edition. Had to stop at Salvaje brewing Co after the hike to sample the beer and food. The beer could use some work, the food was decent, the spot is lovely, especially with no wind like there was today. I hope they do well.

There hasn't been much nice deck weather this summer compared to previous years. Greatly enjoying my tea and my book as I get distracted by the latest batch of young birds chasing each other around the yard. Add the wind in the trees and bees in the flowers, you got yourself some local zen. #nlwx

Kind of impressive in a bad way when forecast models refuse to catch up to reality even after being surprisingly wrong for 4 straight model runs. At least the general idea is still holding true, showers, slowly moving eastward. #nlwx

I don't suppose anyone knows what's going on with the trees just north of clarenville? There's a huge area where the majority of the trees are dying \ turning brown. Small section on the park too. It hasn't been dry this year, so I'm a bit stumped, unless they all died last year...? #nlwx

The Regatta should totally pair up the day with something like Marconi Day. If it's too windy to row then they could have a kite flying display while they wait. Celebrate receiving radio signals from Europe while making good use of the wind. #nlwx

Finally nice enough without swarms of mosquitoes to come enjoy some #TeaByTheSeaInTheTrees: Gander Disc Golf edition. Was looking for some bird song but as usual, only gets good to come out once breeding season is done. Shout out to the one Magnolia Warbler that was still singing a bit.

Been a while since I've been out with the pup for #TeaByTheSea: Gander Lake Edition. Probably mostly due to nippers and blackflies... Today #nlwx is providing a classic summer breeze, taking the bite out of the biters.

apparently fast food joints are just doomed to produce the stupidest most mind blowingly annoying commercials. Who the heck watches these and thinks... YES! Please disseminate this immediately. And if you could, please play them so often it would be considered torture under the Geneva Convection.

What's a banana walk you ask? Why, it's when you take a walk in the field at work and eat a banana... Obviously. I have to say #nlwx, you've outdone yourself on the banana walk side of things...

To think I've been playing disc golf like 400 m away from this view and didn't know. Got a view of the Humer Arm and Corner Brook (ish) between rounds of not particularly impressive thunderstorms. Bit of heavy rain but very little action so far. Cool fog over the hills though. #nlwx
