Two questions:

1)What new technology are you getting to play with?
2)What is the actual humidity like up there? I know we regularly hit upper 80's low 90's here in Fl.

Enjoy working in the cooler temps! :tup:

Nothing but sun, heat, and 135% humidity here. Swimming lessons for Mini GaleForce this morning. I also need to make a trip to the transfer station to get rid of some drywall scrap, and I need to do some painting in the basement... But I really need to take the Z out of the garage, I need more hours in a day. :ugh2:

Mr.GaleForce :hello: You like that pic eh?? :bowrofl:

Check my album, there's another funny one about a Lambo, it's quite blur but that pic is funny....

Mr.kenchan, :tup: @ you have chance to play with the prime lense, try set the aperture to f/1.8, you'll have some good depth-of-field a.k.a. background-blur :tup:

Hello, mr.alcheng! :tup: yes, that pict above is f/1.8....I just need to be a foot closer to get more dramatic effect, I think. :p

Man did crap explode today. I mentioned flash flood yesterday, and today Hurricane Katrina showed up in our office. Primary server hard drive is off to the data recovery service lab for what is quoted as a minimum $4000 emergency recovery fee. Thank the Lord my reports and photos are on Dropbox.

Well, screw it, I'm going to celebrate with my wife and good friends tonight. Will have to be very careful tonight with the alcohol cause, unfortunately, I need a full day in the office tomorrow to hopefully get all but one report completed. But I'm not going to let that stop me from enjoying this tonight:

Mr. JAR -- Those '81 Chateau Lafite should help your day out.

LunaZ 07-14-2012 07:31 PM

I'll tell you what I didn't do with my Z today...
Trade it on an Altima. WTF are they thinking?!?!?!

Pintsize725 07-14-2012 08:31 PM

Even though I wasn't driving, I feel exhausted from today. :p
Spent about 8 hours as a passenger in a Z. Now I feel like taking my baby out on the town.

Sounds good :tup:

I just did a test run using the GoPro, and Zoom today. Hopefully I'll get time tomorrow to check things out.

I was able to get Mini GaleForce to swimming, got the yard work done, took the Z out for a drive, and finished up washing and QD'ing the Z.

Good day :tup:

Answers:

1) I can't give real details and expect to keep a job. Some of the things I'll be working with are the latest in PLC programming, Siemens VLS's, custom AGV'S, etc.

2)the real humidity is 80%. I've been in Fla in late August/ early September, the heat and humidity felt similar... I hate the humidity!
