104 degrees in the shade... update on electronics

104 degrees in the shade 110 degrees or more in the cabin. We do have fans cuz we are still hooked up to electricity, which really help but hot is hot.  I think I could officially say it is blistering hot because I heard someone say that today. 

So what is new… well I’ll wait till tomorrow to tell you all the news because right now we have a lot of maybes…. We have old equipment trying to talk with new equipment and the connections and languages are not compatible as it stands. BUT Mike is on it. He has called the manufacturers etc… and he will give us the news at 5:30 in the morning.  He obviously likes to work in the cooler weather and we don’t blame him.  So early to rise again – well that is if we sleep due to the heat, then it will be just waiting until 5:30am.  As it stands I hear and see a good storm trying to brew up over in the west. Beautiful sunset!

So here is the picture for the day… Tom was back on the boat connecting the boom bracket to the mast. Sounds like an easy job… it is if you are Tom and you have the right tools! Like big beefy drills to make bigger holes and set the screws in tightly. I’m sure big beefy arms helps in the process.

Oh today too was a funny mensa puzzle.  We had to get the compass back on but the chartplotter was in the way. Have no fear the person with the smallest hands wins again! I’d like to see Tom do that. Well I like to think I have great value.

Yippy here comes the wind!

Oh hey we have ATT back! So I will be calling a few of you tomorrow and you know who you are… (dad, Rebecca) I posted one more picture of Mike too. By the look of the pictures you would never know it is blistering hot! These guys have the best attitudes. sweet!
