  1. I can imagine.. But then again, I would assume that a normal day is a bit toasty in the mill.
  2. Thats true, but on really hot days the power company shuts us down. Then we're stuck at work in the dark making no incentive pay or sent home.
  3. Yeah. That "it's a dry heat" line may have meant something back in the 50's before there were thousands of square miles of concrete and a million swimming pools adding to the heat and humidity indexes. Trust me; it's freakin' hot down here and you feel it! Although I have to admit I've grown accustomed to it, and it doesn't bother me that much anymore. I'll be glad to put it behind me all the same.
  4. Here, borrow my hawk. Those little bunny foo foos are setting up his cams.
  5. Well all, gotta run and add a 2lb brick of Velveeta into the crock pot and finish the chowder for tonight's meal. I'll talk to you all later.
  6. Makes you long for the sci-fi implementation of smart grid technology that most folks panic over: two-way communication and control. Wouldn't it be much better if the power company could adjust everyone's thermostat up 1 degree and keep you guys working?

    Guess I shouldn't start this - the company I work for does a lot of smart grid solutions, but none of the two-way stuff. I've got friends in that business though.

    Strangely, the first totally smart-grid city is in Colorado, rather than AZ :happy102
  7. Bill, you better run. I saw you used the forbidden abbreviation even if it looked smaller.
    Everyone, cover your eyes for a moment.

    moi, :love055:love055:love055


    Okay, you can open your eyes.
  8. Oh, so it did come through? Congrats! I must've missed it.... he did you ever see that pic I posted in here for you? The Dude Fest in Baltimore.....

  9. mmmhmmmmm

    If it weren't wet out and I have to get ready to put on a suit, I would go for grilling tonight...
  10. The older I get, the more I hurt, and the only place I want to be is AZ.

    And it is a dry heat. and I'm serious.
  11. Make it Santa Fe for me :)
  12. Cool. We can be neighbors. :D I love the heat, I love the desert, and the next 10-15 years can't go by fast enough until I can move back out there....

    It's a comfort to know
    When you're singing the hit the road blues
    That anywhere else you could possibly go
    After New York would be
    A pleasure cruise

    COLLINS
    Now you're talking!

    Well I'm thwarted by
    A metaphysic puzzle
    And I'm sick of grading papers
    That I know And I'm shouting in my sleep
    I need a muzzle
    All this misery pays no salary
    So Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
    Oh Sunny Santa Fe would be nice
    Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
    And leave this to the roaches and mice
  14. Just make sure you stop by and kidnap me on your way out west. ;)
  15. but I want you to be my neighbor in this Godforsaken filth, I mean joyous city of mine.
  16. No, no, no! I'm sure it's even colder up there. Ain't happening!

    But you may kidnap me first, if you decide to move to AZ, before Matt does. :agelic13
  17. how about I kidnap you during the summer time and wait for 5 to 10 years until I retire?
    please.
    :love029
  18. Hmmmm.........:think002 How's the humidity?
  19. You could become a snowbird, spending summers in Chi Town, and winters in AZ... :D
  20. Nope. I'll take AZ year round.
