1) snow storm expected to hit hard, so I will probably call it quits from work Wednesday early so I can hit the slopes

2) Tax return season is fast approaching...and if I get enough in my tax return, I will be purchasing new all-mountain skis (still doing research on pair that I want).

3) Just finished going thru my yearly review at work, and three was only 1 detraction, and that was expected because it showed up on my directors review and that means it flows onto mine. With a good review comes a good raise (although I have to wait 2 or 3 months to see it). I'm still excited.

I'm excited for August now. I'm going to volunteer at a seminar with a lady in Canandaigua who works with mounted police. The seminar is about training horses on an obstacle course. I'll be setting up obstacles, helping participants and their horses, and getting fed/watching the seminar for free. Obstacles include things like a giant beach ball, big plastic drums they have to push through, cavalettis, etc. Hoping to learn more stuff to stick in my brain somewhere. I love behind the scenes type stuff like this.

I took my MeeMaws cremains to the top of the Tybee Island lighthouse and let her return to mother earth. Fare you well fare you well I love you more than words can tell

I normally don't condone violence, but I might be able to make an exception for this:

I hate these things. Nothing good will come of it. Only continues to feed fuel to the tensions that the original incident started.

I am still hoping for a Tanya vs Nancy boxing match

Typing in weather.gov instead of weather.com.

 

It's a completely different weather experience.

Yeah, I don't trust/put up with anything besides NOAA/NWS anymore.

 

This and this, which I keep in my bookmarks, are all I need. I'll analyze my own data. Get your cartoon clouds, green rain blobs, and solid color front lines off my maps. And I'm not looking at your banner ads so I can look at the government-provided weather maps that our taxes already pay for.

I switched to weather.gov a few weeks ago and won't be going back to weather.com. That place is everything that is wrong with reporting today.

I love the forecast discussions. I really have no idea what they're talking about, but I guess I'm learning as I go.

Cool. More weather geeks.

 

You know you are really tweaking out on weather when you look forward to the post-storm analysis postings. Cool stuff. They post it in the local weather pages, usually the links for them are near the top of the page.

The Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups are surprisingly awesome.

I just got the Google Nexus 5, and so far it's pretty awesome.

[biodork]

This man in Texas is definitely awesome:

I wanted to be a meteorologist for years. Grew up in an area that gets hit with tornadoes constantly, so a concern became an obsession.

 

Now I just nerd out over clouds, weather maps, analysis, and lots of pilot reports. I love the aviation aspect of it, mapping out where turbulence is reported compared to what satellite shows, mapping updrafts and jet stream etc. etc. etc. This had made me very annoying to fly with, I'm sure. Yay weather nerds!

Drinking beer with my Grandma is AWESOME! She is 88 and still loves her Labatt blue in the afternoon. She is so pissed the Sabres and Bills suck. She knows that they will never win it in her lifetime, but she is a true Buffalonian and sharing a Blue with her is Awesome!

Watching Olympic coverage, hearing Costas say the band ###### Riot three times in a row made my night.

Yes. He is so careful when he says it. You can hear his brain going "here it comes. the Word. On international tv. Alright now Bob, purse the lips aaand... there we go. Ok." I can't help but giggle.

A small local computer shop.

 

Picked up two new and loaded Toshiba laptops to become my firm's new workhorses. Running Windows 7 Professional. XP issues resolved without the pain of Windows 8.

Why couldn't my parents have been 1%ers, so I could have the time and money to enjoy one of these things,... they had to go and be high school teachers.
