Done with Florida!

So after two months of the Florida heat and the ingestion of polyisocyanurate insulation day after day. I am finally finished working in Florida. Next week I will working in the Lyndhurst shop and following up the next week by heading down to Georgia to see what a typical service call is like. For my last tour in Florida, I managed to lose the key to the high security lock that allows access to one of our storage containers. Given that we were loading up a truck with everything inside of it the following day, we had to act fast to get the lock off. After a few drill bits, we finally resorted to a cutting torch and burned our way through the lock and was able to bang it off with a sledge hammer. Needless to say, I am sure that I am going to get rassed for this in the future.
After breaking two scissors lifts in the ice cream room and working until midnight, we were finally able to complete our installation in there. Apparently, certain scissor lifts are unable to perform at certain temperatures. The room we were working in was about 8 degrees Fahrenheit at the time. By now, it is sure to be pulled down to the desired temperature of -20 degrees. I'm certainly glad we have no work left to do in there.

Cousins' weekend in Maine 2008

Here we go. Finally I got a minute to get some of my pix together from yet another amazingly fun cousins' weekend in Maine. We pretty much lived out the theme..."How to be in Maine" (from the very informative bathroom artwork of the same name):
  • Eat
  • Drink
  • Sleep
  • Repeat
We did plenty of that and added a few other activities:
Gamble, Bounce and Party! (oh yeah, and dirty scrabble too ;-)
I also got a clip on youtube of Becca's big moment. Enjoy. Hugs and many thanks to the everyone who made this possible.
