Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #186: Summer Heat

Morning

Just 18 days short of my 2nd anniversary. Looking forward to MN state fair to celebrate.

Good Morning Lodge!

It is hotter than a furnace in hell in 978 land. 100F on the thermometer and lil's little weather thing shows humidity past 80- only 10AM. ugh.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #186: Summer Heat

The office building we've been in now for just over three months still has one of my coworkers stumped as to how the conference rooms work. They're all numbered the same for each floor - as in on each floor, room 2300 is a conference room, the difference is that before the room number is the floor number. The woman in question to this day still thinks that the floor number is the number of occupants, so when she picks a room from another floor, books it in the system, and sends it out in the email invite, we're all at the floor in the email while she's up on our floor. No matter how many times we explain the numbering system to her, it doesn't stick. I wish we could fire people for not learning how to schedule the conference rooms (she has a number of other reasons to be fired too).

It ain't particularly cool in 202-land either. ;)

"Wow, this new building has some big dam conference rooms!"

Morning, Lodge. Hitting up church today; the final death march. One of the clerks at my liquor store said he heard about them closing through a buddy of his, so it's sounding like Labor Day weekend will be the last weekend they are open; hope to confirm today, as I want to be there on their last day.

Supposed to be beautiful out today in 952-land. After church, I plan on having a lazy Saturday on the deck.

Big day today. Going shooting, shopping for brewing supplies, eating at Big10 for the last time, maybe visit a new brewery, brewing my Christmas beer...
 
Good Morning Lodge.

One thing our vacation proved is that I truly am a flatlander. I did not handle driving in the Siera Nevada well at all. I was the old guy using the turn-outs to let others pass me. It is all any phobia of heights. If we were on a steep, winding road with trees on both sides I was fine and kept up. But if there was an awesome view of the drop to the valley floor I tensed up badly and slowed way down. Leaving the town where we rented a VRBO required going down a very steep grade. Options were a long, winding road or a shorter, steeper grade (the old road), I took the shorter route but I was a wreck at the bottom.

Did Mrs. goldy not take turns driving instead, or would she have been in the same situation as you?

That is a problem I don't have. I've been a bunch of different mountain roads. Tail of the Dragon wasn't a problem. Even Loveland Pass never bothered me.

She did some, but I was almost worse when she drove. She had the uphill shift going to the VRBO and did NOT want to take the wheel going down. And she grew up driving in the Poconos.
