But the boxster rolls the window down just a bit when you operate the door latch so you can open the door without farkling the top seal.

Glen, I've learned to just not check.. ;). After a certain point it's just farking hot. ;)

Just checked. It's 106 at 8pm.

Quit whining, you're in heaven remember?

rjp

Just wait until winter ;)

I wasn't whining. ;) honestly 106 out here is easier to deal with than 98 in OK.

And yes, it's like heaven for 8 months of the year. :D

106 count me out.

Wasn't it some city in Arizona that put up big outdoor swap cooling towers all over the downtown area?

Uhh... Pretty much everywhere out here has fans and misters running all summed long.

Saw a new thermostat that has a pretty neat feature. It monitors indoor and outdoor temp, also indoor and outdoor humidity, and takes temps and humidity into account to adjust the temp so it always feels like the temp you have it set on.

When I was laid up sick sometimes I would get hot or cold and when I checked the thermostat it was maintaining the 74°F I have it set on. It's a fancy Set-back Theremostat that can run the temperature up and down according to a schedule. Did some testing and monitoring and found it is actually more energy efficient to just leave the thermostat set on one temp all the time. So figure it might make the house more comfortable, but am wary that it might run my bills up jockeying the temp all the time. Maybe the weather would change slow enough that it wouldn't impact the cost like running the temps up and down 5 or 6 degrees every day.

The thermostat I have runs the temp up a few degrees to at night when we are sleeping under the ceiling fan. It lowers it back a few degrees before we get up. Same for in work day. Every study ever done and simple logic says a warmer temp on the AC thermostat will lower the bills.

76 degrees with a fan blowing on you can start to feel cold. It is all about air movement.

Good um Friday like morning.

My A/C must have to work harder to bring the temp back down cause it sure takes it a long time.

Morning all. Yep Looks like a "Friday" from here. For most of my office it looks like "Saturday" as in they went on vacation.

911 still at the wrench.....booooo

I decided that a beautiful Friday like Thursday was a reason to drive the 911 to work. That and I want to get the last of the ethanol laced gas out of the tank. It gets a full tank of 100% real gas this afternoon. I should roll 156,000 miles on the 911 today as well.

Oh great the customer service people requested yet another email group to focus emails from customers with problems. There are about 7 people on the list, the list is exactly the same as their standard customer concerns list except the standard list has one other person on it. Come on...give me a break, really? One person.?

Dino juice is the best.

give it some really cool name that screams green font color.

I am working on a customer project that was one of the first jobs I ever did when I started working here 10 years ago. We fly the project every 6 months and the laptop fires the camera via GPS coordinates. The pilot goes to the same altitude and the only real variable is the wind direction and time of day and tilt or tip of the airplane. The time of day changes the shadows and of course the time of year. The wind cause the pilot to have to "crab" the airplane to fly the same heading across the ground. The camera mount compensates for most of that and any tilt or tip. Year after year the images are remarkably the same image within a few dozen feet of the same spot in the sky. I set the project up with slightly old software 10 years ago. Since everything is set up all I have to do is drop in the new image and change the flight date. It is about the only time I crank up the software package but it just does the job fine. It ain't broke so I don't feel like fixing it. The now antique software just works fine.

cool. Why do they want it shot every 6 months?

It was 68 and overcast for the girls softball game last night.

Glen, sounds like a gravy job. Actually, most do.

The property does change a lot. I can't get into the specifics without making it obvious who the client is. Nothing nefarious and something we all use all the time.
