HappyUP!!! Day 1701



HappyUP!!! - Haggin Oaks
Why it happened - it was on my way

HappyUP!!! Day 1700.....SEVENTEEN HUNDRED?!?!?!


It's almost an automatic HappyUP!!! - just for turning the odometer to a number with a fresh "pre-fix."

How long does a guy go - on this project? Well....as long as he is still proving the point....

....supporting the Science of Positive Psychology movement - which may be the most important scientific findings for general health that have EVER been discovered.

The support for this project - and the people it is helping has been overwhelming.

How many detractors have I encountered? - practically none....and the only ones that have expressed it are people with denial, obsessive, and narcissitic traits....to which I say....hey, "thanks for tuning in because I am helping you too....you will come around." (Pssst.....and...really...I only know of a couple of peeps in the category....but...I LOVE helping them get through their stuff too! LOVE IT!!!)

HappyUP!!! Day 2000 - is going to be a laydown....probably a party!!!

HappyUP!!! - great speeches
Why it happened - Toastmasters
Why it makes me happy - I got a reminder about a book I once read....that I will read again. Who did move that item anyway?

HappyUP!!! - getting a new member booked in
Why it happened - I got the application
Why it makes me happy - GROWTH....GROWTH....GROWTH

HappyUP!!! - passing the test
Why it happened - I got to see it
Why it makes me happy - another rung up the ladder gained by my bud

Why it happened - he had some space
Why it makes me happy - got a couple of tolerations knocked out in less than an hour....and...NO QUESTION....no way I should have worked on either of these

HappyUP!!! - withholding info here
Why it happened - it's been happening
Why it makes me happy - I have soooooo much to be happy for......but there are some things that I can't share here....private times.....with good friends......yeah......tonight....had some of those times. It was some GREAT info I got re: someone tonight.....especially the timing.

HappyUP!!! - a spit
Why it happened - weather
Why it makes me happy - no....I couldn't call it rain. It was barely enough to induce "that smell"....you know....the one that is a mix of water and old oil on hot pavement......which is always an early season rain sensory perception. Anyway...just got a hint of it....which is an early precursor to the change to the best season of all in our area.....fall.

Why it makes me happy - excellent way to close an excellent day

Why it happened - great 9 iron
Why it makes me happy - I have struggled with my swing all year. I keep working on it. Yeah...you can hit good shots with a crappy swing....and I have....but I am getting my swing back. THIS was not a crappy swing that produced this stellar shot.....TOUR quality.


The Ol Nutter Almanac 2011

The "Days" - 1) 6/21...101 2) 7/3...100 3) 7/4....100 4) 7/5....101
5) 7/6....101....6) 7/21...100 7) 9/9 101

9/23 Update - it's over!!! Fall is here....and.....the Almanac proved prescient once again...HappyUP!!!

9/22 Update - so people know...the average days OVER 99 degrees in Sacramento in a year is 15. This makes predicting the weather....for the summer.....very risky. The Ol Nutter Almanac?.....cojones grande'! We say goodbye to summer tomorrow.

9/12 Update - one more day of 100 last Friday. Will it be the last one of the season? Place yer bets and take yer chances....nothing forecasted close to 100 through 9/22 (end of summer). Looking like another year we well praise Ye Ol Almanac.


9/1 Update - it was a quiet August.....not a day at 100....NICE! We're not out of the woods. It's looking like September is starting out as a cooker!

8/25 Update - OK...looks like the forecasters were off by 5 degrees 2 days ago. We have a few 98-99 degree predictions coming up....let's hope they keep missing on the high side. Great summer so far

8/23 Update - it's been like watching paint dry. Weather.com has a high of 100 predicted for today....and then things start cooling off again.

8/9 Update - we stand pat at 6 days....with a prediction of a cooling trend to a high of low 90's for the next 10 days. Hmmmm...the Almanac was looking a little shaky at the beginning of July

7/31 update - nothing new to report...6 days at 100 or more thru July....with nothing predicted in the 100's for the next 10 days in August. Even if the Almanac is off....it's looking like a very pleasant summer

7/24 update....darn it...the day 3 days is going to be critical in the prediction...it sooooo just barely tipped the scale! July is our hottest month...the predictions are good...but...hey....I KNOW August can be hot!

7/5 update - the almanac is being tested....it's risky business to predict only 10 100 degree days here in the hot Sacratomato area. We got another cooker decked up for tomorrow. Keep the faith

6/17 update - three days of very high 90's predicted for next week. If the mercury overachieves, it could be 30% of the prediction. Pins and needles! We still haven't scared 100.

It's 6/7 -....here is the count on 100 degree days.....NOTHING

ORIGINAL POSTING OF 5/31
below:

It's that time of year again - perhaps one of the GREATEST times of the year. It's the publishing of the........

Ol Nutter Almanac - a proven 100% somewhat reliable source of information to predict the summer weather here in the Roseville/Sacramento area.

Each year - the Almanac takes a look at the weather on Memorial Day weekend...runs the results of that through a rigorous algorhtymic process (OK....that's a stretch to say that) and gives us all
a tool to plan our summer.

This year - it was high's in the low 70's......and quite a bit of rain. This leads to only ONE forecast for this summer................got that drum roll ready?

We will have 10 or fewer days of 100 degrees or more this summer - the tool that we will use for validation is the high temp for Roseville as reported by weather.com

The time span that is covered? - is from now (even though it isn't summer yet) through Sept 22 which should be the end of summer

This prediction has been going on for years - but it's been on line for the last three. To check out the accuracy, you can go to any of the links listed at the bottom of the page.

As usual - this post will be updated on a weekly basis or whenever we get a day of 100 degrees or more.

HappyUP!!! - picking up Boxsy
Why it happened - I dropped her off
Why it makes me happy - she looks GREAT!

HappyUP!!! - hello September
Why it happened - we have a calendar
Why it makes me happy - yeah, it's still summer.....but fall begins in September.....cooler temps are just around the corner.....my favorite season of the year will be upon us in just a few weeks. I don't know what it is but I always love it when September rolls around. It always makes me happy

HappyUP!!! - loading the driver
Why it happened - went on-line
Why it makes me happy - I love my Mac....but my old Dell has some capabilities that I need....but I have never been able to load the driver for my new printer to it. I figured it out today and "all systems are go" for LOTS of fun! My buddy is going to love the new capabilities.
