Good weekend?
Summer finally arrived in Ottawa this week... the weekend saw temperatures of 32 and 34 degrees C burn my Canadian-esque skin pretty good. I don't quite glow in the dark yet, but it's unavoidable when you hibernate for more than half the year.
Saturday was a helicopter event at my club. I don't fly those bizzare contraptions but went to shoot it anyways, check out the pics here...
BBQ steak dinner at a buddys house afterwards made for a great day.
Sunday saw some flying and once again, I managed to rip the landing gear off my Ultimate, or the yellow scurge as is now known.
Not a biggie except that I am flying it at an event this weekend and the design is very weak around the landing gear.
Tonight will see time spent in the shop welding some kind of aluminium bracket to spread the load and hopefully keep it in one damn piece...
See what happens...

I'd give me left tit for those temps. Damn thats nice and cool. Here we have been in the 40's for like 8 weeks now. The hottest days have seen it at 118-120, which is upwards of 47C. You dehydrate so quickly and without warning, it fucks people up big time. When its 90+ ( 32-33C) outside at 11pm, it feels cool...the other day the POOL...was 92 and its just a warm bath, yet at 11pm its refreshing. But, its better than -40 in Wainwright on the Military Base just west of the Sask' border in Alberta....Ahhhh....memories.....*muses*

Its all relative... when your a crazy man with a gun, living life in the fast lane on a Hyabusa, wind chill will keep you alive... right?
It's the 15 to 20 degree shift in half a day that gets me... *lol*
Those temps are crazy man, why is it you live there?
On ya...

Well, in 6 days I won't be..moving 150 miles North to Prescott. Going to live at 5386ft above sea level. I work from home, so I can live anywhere in the US / Mexico or even Canada. Prescott has 4 seasons and its clean air and laid back populace is the pull. Plus no more bloody 2 seasons that we get here in Phoenix. Summer and...er...a slightly cooler summer. When a place is too hot, that even the flys are missing, you know its time to move.
