Looks like a cigar box to me....
Hmmm. Didn't think that far down the road. I guess it's my congratulations at this point... Congratulations! You have done well.

74 here in the midwest
Looks like it is going to be the last warm and dry day here for a while so one of the things I did was change my oil and rotate tires,
Had about 13% life yet on the oil but I don't wan't to do it in a snow bank!
Changed the oil and greased the snow blower. I was so pumped with this action I changed the oil, sharpened the blade and greased the axles of my lawn mower.
Summer is over. Let winter begin
Shorts and tee shirt weather here today if you weren't working.
I wore jeans and tee shirt and should have wore long sleeves cause I scraped my elbow on the tar crawling under the truck.
Here in the Northeast it was 75° yesterday and 70° today.
T shirt weather for sure. Many folks were wearing shorts. I stuck to jeans and a tee.
Very unseasonable considering we've had snow twice.

53 F right now and dropping. Supposed to be in the mid 20's F tonight with clear skies and a high tomorrow of 40 F Attachment 326488
Close to 80 yesterday and today. Lots of yard work done. Got some good wear out of my Conner wide brim hat with flow through ventilation. (Second degree burns on my left arm/leg and singed head a while back make direct sun exposure a bit painful.)
Forecast for tonight is 65. 65 km/h northwest. It will be 50 on the the Fahrenheit scales. I’m quite a bit north of BobH.
We have had some unusually good weather that last few day with a high of 66F/19C today but that is going back to normal colder temps this week. That would be around 32F/0C for day time temps. Thankfully we rarely get 65 km/h wind speeds like you do on the northwest coast of BC.

I live in Kingsville, the most southern town in Canada, south of Northern California.
The summers here are ridiculously hot , I don't even go out of the house if i can help it in the height of summer.
We also get these bugs called fish flies every June. They come out of Lake Erie and cover every surface, if we kill them they stink like dead fish. Some people wash them of their houses with a pressure washer. We see huge piles off dead fish flies blowing into piles like fall leaves.
They can't hurt a person but I admit to being terrified of bugs.
Last year it was so bad that I cut the grass in a winter coat, gloves and hat with a net over it, the neighbours were taking bets at how much of the grass I could cut before i passed out with heat stroke LOL.
The winters are mild, the snow doesn't usually come until after new year and when it does snow it is gone again within two weeks or so. When I lived in Elliot Lake it snowed in November and the first snow stayed and was built upon all winter until about April.
We are going to move soon because there are too many stairs here but we will miss the weather here for sure, not the fish flies though.

If so, its the mayfly, hatch.
Thats my understanding too. Fish Fly is a Mayfly. Live in the mud at the bottom of a body of water then hatch and fly. I think they live for a very little time. A few days or something like that if my school learning was correct way back when.
Yes that a Fish fly and a Mayfly are the same thing although the term Mayfly includes many different but similar bugs. We get swarms of them around here and they will take the snow plow trucks to clear them off the bridges.
One time that for some reason sticks in my memory is when I was on a bridge in southern MN watching the Mayfly's. One just tipped over in mid flight and spun down into the water. I watched it as far as I could to see if a trout got it. No.
Until then I had not spent much time thinking about bugs dying in nature.
The "Love Bugs" down south are so thick at times they will clog your radiator. We put screens over the grill to keep them out.
Your right i think. They call them either fish flies or some call them june bugs round here because they come in June. They only last a few weeks then they are gone and the birds get fat but those couple of weeks are terrible.
The kids and folks that were bought up here think nothing of them but I never saw one before moving here and was truly shocked and appalled.
When we get a big spider in the house, my wife and i fight over who will get rid of it.
She says it's a mans job and i try to make her understand that when it comes to creepy crawlies she better go find herself a real man cos i aint it.
Love bugs don't smell, it is just two bugs that love each other very much and fly around stuck together. But there can be tons of them. I don't think they are rekated to may flies at all.
Of course, that said, our June bugs are uncoordinated flying beetles. Like a flying roomba just bouncing off something to change direction. So, maybe he was talking about a different love bug, too. But the radiator thing fits.
Love bugs fly while deep in coitus.
