Hot Enough For Ya'

On the way to work this morning it was already 75 degrees out - felt great, but being that warm so early in the day only means that the rest of the day is going to just get hotter. On the radio this morning while waking up they said it will be a record if we peak just over 100 in the next couple days. Kinda cool when that stuff happens.

4 Way Stop

So one of the high speed, and large intersections out by our house just added signs to turn it from a 2-way stop to a 4-way stop. It has been a 2 way for more than 14 years which means people are going to habitually blow right through it heading in the East/West direction. I mentioned to Cicely about my prediction and she agreed that it's going to be a mess for quite awhile.

This morning my theory was proven correct. As we were pulling out from out stop this older lady blasted right through the stop on her side. When we caught up to her at the next light Cicely tried to politely and friendly tell her "hey, heads up its a 4 way stop now, they just changed it on Tuesday". Well this lady wanted none of it! She just sat in her car scowling at Cicely shaking her head "no" and mounting that she was going and we were in the wrong.

Oh well what are you going to do? We tried to help the lady and had no luck. Either she is going to blast through it tonight on the way home or worse, hit someone - hopefully that someone is not a pedestrian walking across. People are so dam habitual and for many old dogs, I guess they really can't learn new tricks!

BBQ

Today is our annual company BBQ from 11:00 until 2:00. In years past it also marked one of our 2 cash sharing days. Nothing like a free lunch and an extra check with lots of numbers on it! Unfortunately those days are gone and we only get extra bonus money from  performance based objectives.

Anyway, we are skipping the event today because we can't eat the food. I don't want to sit in the heat just because so we are staying in the AC filled building. Our elimination diet is officially done Sunday morning, then we have 4 weeks of adding foods back in. It has not been extremely difficult, kinda nice to be honest. I don't think I lost any weight and that is ok, it was not my intention anyhow although a few peeps have said that it looks as though I have.

Sundown

About enough for today's entry. I am hoping that we get let out of work at 2:00 as they typically do on company BBQ day. If so I plan to stay until 3:30 or so anyhow to get some stuff done. Three day weekend ahead for us since we took Monday off so that is cool. We have a really busy next couple of weeks with my various doctor appointments so an extra day off beforehand will be nice.

Happy Friday! If you happen to be in the Reno/Sparks area today - stay hydrated!
