cold steel...

The roof is coming together so quickly, I took the day off for some engineering to insure the that the progress will continue.

Happy Birthday to the best friend I have out here.  I am proud to know you (and your wife - my second best friend).  Here's to many more happy years for us all in the desert.  94,104,70,0 B

Only Chuck will be able to fully appreciate the title of today's blog. Just as well that the G9 is still in the hospital...nothing of note to photograph today. Baked a peach cobbler in the solar oven for Grub Shack Betty...and a loaf of bread for me. Low of 61 - High of 101 with some gusty winds all afternoon. Had a threat of a thunderstorm this afternoon which included a warning on NPR from the National Weather Service. The rain just missed the Field Lab, soaking areas SE of me. Only other task accomplished was gathering 4 buckets of sand for the mortar mix I will need to set the first course of cinder blocks. Fed some longhorns - flew a kite. Getting a big itch to get off the bench and back in the game. Sometimes I wonder what I'm waiting for... Photo of the day from mid June 08...my prototype swamp cooler.
