    Where I was this past weekend.



    And a good 30 degrees cooler than here in the Phoenix area.

    I'll be spending a lot of my remaining vacation time inside catching up on my DVD's or something where it's cool! Too HOT to work outside on my vacation!

    All you other AZ valley techs, have FUN this week in the HEAT!!!

    It was Coronado Beach

    It was the nicest summer weather I've experienced in YEARS!!!


    I don't go back to work until next Monday too

    No nightmares. But been sleeping in extra late...

    The only BAD thing is it's TOO HOT outside to do anything as far as outside hobbies go. I will probably catch up on some of my large DVD collection I've acquired. Must have a good 30+ movies out of nearly 500 that I haven't even watched yet.



    Here's a few more pics.





    Spoiled brats at the Seal and Otter show...



    Melissa after getting soaked on the raft ride...

    If you look real close to the shadow of the girl on the right's hand - it looks like where Payson was showing the girls how to install proper access to the attic A/C unit ;-)

    They already try to use me for a cash machine at 8/10, what are you thinking 17/18????

    The 10 yr old expects me to PAY her for doing certain chores that I think she should do simply as her chores!

    I took her DVD player with us to use in the hotel room. It was already half way disfunctional. Anyway it BROKE the first night we got there especially when I took it apart and tried to fis something not meant to be fixed! So she IMMEDIATELY stated I had to buy her a new one ASAP!

    So we had to find a Wal MART out there and she got a new DVD player. Actually, I gave her the one we HAD in the living room and put the new one in the living room since it loaded my home made DVD's faster than the other one.
    She gave me some attitude for that. But she still ended up with a better one than she had before...

    Kids these days!

    Kid's demands today are directly proportional to the 'give-in factor of their parents.

    Personally, I was a totalitarian DRILL SGT. to my two boys.... and when they finally got me through training... they got their way.... What's a guy to do?

    Oh, and Payson you lucky Busturd... you got the HEAT on your vacation I Sooooooo crave!!! I was in an attic today, (9 hrs.)it was only about 105 deg. F. in there... and I basked in the dark, breathing in the 'blown in' insulation... as it was a windy 68 deg. F. outside. Sweat pouring off of me like I was raining... Had to exhale seven time to my one inhale because of the nasty insulation dust. Draggin control wires through an eighty foot span of joists at 16" centers - space was only 30" in height. Having to kneel on the 2x4 rafters so I didn't fall through the drywall ceiling (Sheet-rock). 9 trips through the ceiling space, as we were also pulling insulated flex into seven zones. Lost two Leatherman pliers in there today too! And the whole time, I was thinking... I would greatfully sacrifice all of this for an hour or two in a 140 deg. attic to service attic cooling units.

    Glad you are taking some time off for yourself... and your Bride and the little angels. Time well spent. Rejuvinate... and GET BACK AT IT!

    Take care.

    Damn. Two lost tools in one day??? That's bad. Loosing a tool really bothers me for some reason. It's like I feel the need to investigate and find out WHAT HAPPENED to that tool!


    Anyway. I've got the rest of the week. Being lazy watching movies and the such.

    I went through my DVD's and reorganized them. Pulling the ones I ahevn't watched out and putting into the back of the DVD cases.






    The pile of 30 or 40 sitting there is what I haven't watched. Don't think I'll catch up this week either.
