sticky nasty weekend
by Tony Peters on June 9, 2008
Ok this is new england it's not supposed to be this hot...I'm sure Amy actually feels at home but it's been too long since I lived in Guam this is hot. I had plans for this weekend but instead other than a dump run I tried to stay in and stay cool. I failed on both accounts because I needed to do some work in my garage...even the dog was unhappy spending time outside and readily accepted being hosed off. But my garage is more organized though still not clean...I got rid of a kayak...got our bikes hung from the rafters and after not accomplishing enough ended up soaked to the skin
The highlight of my weekend was the realization that our new computer fund was full...so i have a new (to me) refurb Macbook on its way to me this week...I finally get to become completely bilingual. I have been looking forward to switching to a Mac for the last few years, my complete annoyance with windows and my present computer's continuing registry errors and I'm ready for a change...

oh I know I lived in Guam for 4 years, In Guam it only drops out of the 90's (with 100% humidity) when a typhoon rolls through...and most of that temperture drop is windchill; 100-200mph winds chill regardless of the ambient temp. I'm just whining because I don't like hot weather, and days like today (also in the high 90's) make me yearn for someplace like Portland

more liquid metal
My sculpture Professor decided that the burner we use for melting metal wasn't working out well, since it was designed for a forge and not a furnace he had a furnace burner made.....it used to take hours to melt 20lb of bronze, it took us 40 minutes yesterday. I have never seen the crucible as hot as it was. Go »argh
I got a phone call this morning from work (I'm on vacation) wondering if I know that I'm transferring in 2 weeks???? SAY WHAT???? yet again (this is the 3rd time) the Navy is transferring me to another job in the same area. Go »post pain pump
spending nearly a day on a Morphine pump was great but, it did little to prepare me for being out of the hospital or for that matter give me any idea just how much pain I was going to be in. Before I left the hospital my wife (who is a Nurse, the Pain Management Nurse at the hospital and I worked out this plan for the meds I was gonna need over this 1st week of my recovery...well that slowly disintegrated yesterday afternoon and by midnight I was in tears while my GSP sat with me licking my face...2 Go »Over Programed
True to my nature I only ever seem to be happy when I have too much on my plate...I'm reading 2 books and working on an online Photoshop CS3 class (I really want my Adobe Certified Expert before I retire). However the biggest impact on my life has been my wife and I starting P90X...we Go »vacation and such
well my father, brother and I set out last thursday for Ithaca NY, my father and I on our motorcycles and my brother in his LandCruiser pulling a trailer/tent. The goal was to get from Rhode Island to Ithaca for a family reunion and back by using only back roads. We succeeded and we plenty of adventures to boot...my Go »

You get used to every summer day being hot here, so you almost don't notice when there's a real scorcher. Friends up north have to point out the scalding temperatures across the country for it to sink in. I've heard from several this weekend.
