It's my second day of vacation and so far so good. It's hotter than hell here right now.

The temperature said 99° in the car. I don't quite believe it but that would make it the hottest day of year by far

We had yoga tonight and like on all Tuesdays Diane invited the yogis in for dinner. Tonight it was too hot to eat so she made cold soups. She made me Gazpacho, my favorite and her least favorite. You know you married the right women when she'll make your favorite soup even if she doesn't like it. She such a great cook ! She also made cold watermelon soup and basil lemonade… All chilled. It was a colorful and flavorful dinner

We tried to keep cool today the best we could. I spent several hours in my little air-conditioned office… But decided I needed to get away from screens and go out and play. That meant driving around town in an air-conditioned car.:-)

I want my errands I met my friends Michael and COLIN for lunch at lunigs to discuss the project. Ate gazpacho there as well. Then ran into another friend Michael who is building a cool tower for yet another friend Michael. We got a quick tour. Great views.. (And three michaels !)

 

Then headed over to generator to use their soldering microscopes. I'm making a new hoop and I needed to solder so e very small wires. It Was my first project of generator and felt good. Even had the special capacitor I was looking for.

 

Did a little bit more late-night making with Gabe. He built the TV be gone. Get all the soldering himself. He's getting good.

 

Now just settling down in the air condition room to try to sleep. Diana and I dragged the futon in here because it's too hot in the rest of the house. Thank heavens for air-conditioning!
Night, night Sam
