Week in photos

Monday it was warm enough for me to eat lunch outdoors. It was about 65F/18C, which is very warm for this time of year.


I enjoyed it a lot as it will probably be the last lunch outside for many months.


Every day on my way to work I drive past the building where my father used to work.

And, I think “if I went to work there as my parents wanted, I’d have a much shorter drive to work.”
But, I didn’t like the work. (Power company) And, when I had looked at a job there everyone said “Oh, you’re Frank Hunt’s boy”. I didn’t want the job because I was my father’s son. And, he and I were very different anyhow, so it probably would not have been a good fit.

So, I just look at the sunrise and keep driving.


The wild turkeys continued to run around our building all week.


This photo is actually of a refraction rainbow.

Here it is up close.


They finally finished the roof on the building at work. Only a year late!


My wife had donated to our congressman’s reelection campaign. He had sent back a signed thank you letter that my wife appreciated.
Friday night I brought home Chinese food as I had worked so late.
Sadly, I spilled it on her letter.

I wrote to him and explained and asked if he could send a second thank you letter.
We’ll see if he does.

This morning there is snow!

Yes, it is not very much and is a month later than normal.
But, this is the perfect amount! Enough to look pretty and not stop things from happening.

oh wow, going from 18°C to snow in one week is quite a drop. (I like to talk about the weather, by the way..)

We only had one day at 18. The rest of the week was in the 5 to 10 range.
Yesterday it dropped to about -3.

I am a mechanical engineer.
Right now I work for a company that makes very large (4 meter wide, 5 meter tall, 20 meter long) robotic freezers that store medical samples at -80C.
I am the head of their mechanical engineering department.

I usually refer to it as designing giant robot freezers.

Oh, and on the temperature thing, today was -3C, snowing with a high wind.
18 was very nice and warm.

I'm also surprised that one day you'll hit the 18°C and the next you have to deal with the white stuff already. I always assumed we were the only country who had such crazyness going on.

Oh no. This morning is -8 with the wind making it seem like -19.
By Wednesday it should be about +13...

That's insane! That's the perfect weather to catch something as you never know how to dress right.
