Well at least down here we're prepared for it A/C wise. At least at home anyway. It's a comfy 70 degrees in my house ATM.

First day back from vacation. Hot as hell. I want my Sprecher soda RIGHT NOW, but I think their fax machine is broken.

Let me send you a Genever Collins, which is supposed to be quite refreshing and tasty!

beep boop screeeeeee...

Got a call, 12000btu of goodness heading my way!

It's amazingly cool here in Florida. Damn near winter weather at about 74 an hour ago.

I got up at 4:30 this morning to do some of the work I needed to do this weekend, but couldn't bring myself to do. Work itself was a waste. Had a new co-worker "shadowing" me all day, which meant I spent more time explaining what I was doing than actually doing anything. Oh well. I then went to my insurance agent to learn that the wind mitigation inspection I had a couple weeks ago basically saved me about $600 this year...so yay!!! In celebration, I went to the spa for a nice manicure, pedicure and massage, took myself out to dinner, and am now listening to some nice music while feeling fat and happy. Life is good.

Fat and happy is very good! Enjoy the rest of the day.

We decided it was too damn hot for a bath tonight but Lily didn't want to run through the sprinklers, so I ran through them holding her. It felt good.

^win.

Got word today that a former co-worker and friend passed away after a long battle with cancer. So in general it's been a sad one. She was in her 40's and I found out that her only child, a son, is getting married in two weeks. Life can really be fucking unfair.

Sue and I helped each other maintain sanity while working for a power mad boss. I feel bad because we were smoking buddies during that time and I wonder how much that contributed. But I'd never have 16 years in my present job if she hadn't been there to lean on when things were intolerable.

So the world is a bit emptier tonight. She'll be missed.

Sorry about the loss of your friend Mike.

Same here, Mike.

Same Mike, sorry for your loss.

My condolences, as well.

Sorry for the loss of your friend Mike.

Sorry for you loss, Mike.

Sorry about you friend Mike.

My condolences, Mike.

Yes, Mike, I am sorry for your loss, too. Makes one stop and think when it's a contemporary. Tough to lose a good friend.

Sorry for your loss, Mike.

Drove to Galveston Island to spend a few days cooling off at the beach. The storm has created a lot of waves which is fun! The weather is really nice and I ate some good Mexican food tonight.

Also there was a man bitten by a shark (he's ok, just had to get 60 stitches) about 100 yards from where we were swimming. The thing that sucks is that he was supposed to try out for the Cincinnati (sp?) Reds tomorrow. Too bad.

Talk about bad luck.

On a (Mega)bus to go see some cool HCers. Internet connection is sloooooow, real time porn streaming is out of the question. At least I got a seat with an outlet.

heh:

"I just have to heal up and I'll be back out there," Rogers said. "If I get bit again, I'll probably stay out for sure. I'm not testing my luck that much."

Went to pickup my car from the body shop after it had gotten a whole new front end or so I thought. Turns out they forgot about the main radiator fan (which had a huge chunk missing) so the engine rattled like a diesel. Ahh the joy of not having a car again..
