extreme humidity

That's about half two in the morning when you wish that boxer shorts could be watercooled as the heat brings new terror to the words "Boil in the bag" no?

Yes, that. Today just happened to be beautiful. I don't think i've seen a day this nice in august before. I took a walk to the student union from my building and took in the scenery. Its quite "hot" if you get my drift.

You know damn right.

I just talked to the machinist guy.. long story short I can use any of the machining equipment (bridgeport mill, giant band saw, mini-lathe, full size lathes) and he'll teach me how to run it same as he does for the grad students who are fabricating stuff.

Here is where I work: www.mri.psu.edu in the materials research lab building :)

/me resists urge to make Cretin joke :p

I spent a while working in Athens in '92 and it bloody rained torrentially and even snowed once (for the first or second time in about 15 years)!

Cold? Here? I couldn't sleep for sweating last night and could have filled a bucket with the stuff walking back up the hill from the PO yesterday! :rant:

Still, I'll put my envy back in the box with the sun cream where it belongs and just hope you have a wicked time. ^_^
Have fun dude!

Well it's been nearly as hot back in England only there's not much sun here and it keeps raining. Still, I look tanned compared to most people :lol:
