Whats the plans for the summer?

Zardon · Jul 12, 2005, 01:34 PM

anyone doing anything interesting?

Asmoday · Jul 12, 2005, 01:45 PM

Unfortunatly no, unless working around the house counts as interesting...

And the heat is killing me, it have been like 27-33°C in the shade the last couple of weeks. And that's HOT for my location...(about 100km south of the arctic circle)

Zardon · Jul 12, 2005, 01:51 PM

Yeah heatwave here as well, ive no energy at all, it just sucks it out of you. I prefer cooler temperatures.

**dj_stick** · Jul 12, 2005, 01:53 PM

well i have to push through winter down here atm, so lots of sitting around in front of the fire (with my gf) and sleeping in on the weekend

El Kapitano · Jul 12, 2005, 02:05 PM

Well we've just done two weeks in Florida and my next hol's are a long weekend in the beautiful city of York mid August. Till then I'll be trying to keep out of mischief and stay in the air conditioned office as much as possible mmmm nice 17°C background temperature....Now where are all those nice female sales reps?

Work, work, work, did I mention work, Oh and I'm going for a 400man paintball event in august, yey

*strokes his customised Ion*

Mort_Cinder · Jul 12, 2005, 02:35 PM

i have absolutely nothing to do. i am soooo bored.... we are moving house in a couple of weeks so no money for going somewhere on holiday

i am looking at buying a couple of games to get me through it. i need something interesting to do.

riles9262 · Jul 12, 2005, 03:05 PM

I'm just working a lot, and looking for another job. Unlike you guys in Europe, our summer has been really rainy

Hopefully it will smarten up so I can do some quality camping. I get to be a groomsman in my best friend's wedding next month so I'm looking forward to that

I agree. We're having one this week. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh. Makes me not want to come out of the house when the humidity gets pretty high

Anyways, I'm just working to try and raise some money for a mustang sometime in the future. Not exactly sure if i'm going with a '65 - '66 hardtop or a '85 - '93 fox body coupe. For some crazy reason though, I've been having these thoughts of hopping on a train and going somewhere out of state for a day...

**MIG-31** · Jul 12, 2005, 06:38 PM

unfortunately not...... damn boring year,work work & more work.Not much time for play im sorry to say.

CDsDontBurn · Jul 12, 2005, 06:51 PM

eh...work, work, and more work. If i'm not at work, i'm working at home. At the momment, i'm trying to look for a second job to help out w/the bills. So if i come across one, i'll be working even more

.

The only time i have to myself is pretty much at like 2am. If i have some time i'll probably hit up the beach. I love the ocean air

. Fortunatley, the weather here has been not as hot as some of you guys have had it. Only been pushing 90F-100F (according to my car's temp sensor

).

Zelig · Jul 12, 2005, 08:45 PM

I'm also working, and playing and refereeing soccer games.

It's been nice here recently, most days peak at about 22 degrees or so, but that hasn't been very good weather for tourism (gas prices have been bad for tourism too)

I'm scheduled to have my wisdom teeth remove this coming weekend... I'm sort of nervous, I've never had as much as a filling... I guess I've been lucky. The worst part is probably that I have to go so long without eating.

I've got a party scheduled for the weekend after that, and I was accepted (50 selected from this provinces highschools) for a science and engineering week at a University in August, which ought to be fun.

CDsDontBurn · Jul 12, 2005, 08:48 PM

besides your wisdom teeth being pulled, it seems that your summer will go pretty well

MythicaL · Jul 12, 2005, 09:08 PM

Going up to Oregon coast for about two weeks

toddsmack2k · Jul 12, 2005, 10:01 PM

My summer will be filled working (recently called back from a lay off), coaching softball, relaxing and hopefully being on here more!

Falstaff · Jul 12, 2005, 10:03 PM

Headed to the desert.....

swimtech · Jul 12, 2005, 10:30 PM

My wife and I celebrated our seventh anniversary this past July 5th - I had a couple days off from both jobs!

Other than working steady, hope to be able to go camping for a few days before school starts for the kids, and working on the house...

once you get used to it, the dry heat is therapuetic

Yeah... and even in high humidity i don't actually sweat a huge amount so it never really bothers me unless i'm doing strenuous exercise in it - then i sweat more than normal lol (ewww)

only place i've ever been where the heat was almost too much was Las Vegas in the height of August along side the strip

Likewise, but it has to be a dryheat; I absolutely hate humidity.

Falstaff · Jul 12, 2005, 11:40 PM

yes....yes....
A particuler reason I couldnt tolerate New Orleans or the Phillipines...dreadfully hot...

Necrosis · Jul 12, 2005, 11:49 PM

Work, work, work, and do projects around the house. I went back to my old company back in January, and only had a few days of vacation. Oh well, January 1st I'll have two weeks again, and I plan on taking a real vacation next year.
