Sitting in a pool of sweat in my chair wishing they'd set the A/C to "I want to make an igloo indoors"
I didn't think it would get that warm there. However - I suppose if you are not accustom to it, that is excessive. Was just a bit from the border yesterday and today (Detroit),.. but would have run into Gandalf if I had gotten to close.

Hi guys

@Joy Hey Joy! Just getting started for the morning here. Got my tea and may have to go raid the coffee jug in a bit... tea ain't helping me this morning, lol.

@g.jacobse In that case, I recommend:

@scottalanmiller el nino makes for a brutal summer, hit 32c (~90f) here.
37c here at 9am yesterday, climbed to 40c!!
32c would be a nice, cool day. That's probably what it is right now and it's very comfortable.

Coffee on the balcony, getting caught up and ready to hit it today.

Played through the first chapter of Moebius: Empire Rising by Jane Jensen before going to bed last night. Really well done game and the score rocks. And I was surprised to learn that that is the author / designer's husband who did the scoring!

@g.jacobse Not only does it have on and off, it also has volume control (with remote control), lol. Now all I gotta do is make sure my wife doesn't find that remote.

Congrats @dafyre!!!!!

Wow that is really cool. Good luck with this. Do you think the sound will be overwhelming at first?

@coliver Quite a bit, yes. Pops (who also has an implant) says that I will have a constant headache for the first month after we turn it on, lol. Fortunately, I know somebody who already has one (Pop's unit is ~29 years old as of this month!)... so I know a little bit of what to expect.
But I will be hearing things that I haven't heard in 20 years... (Beeping watch alarms, Beeping UPSes, Fire alarms, cats meowing, doorbells, birds, crickets, other buzzing insects, and the list goes on, lol)... So while I will have a constant headache, I will also be nagging everybody around me: What is THAT sound? lol.

I would be interested in reading how your first few weeks go. This is something I can't really comprehend (lose a sense and having it come back) so reading about it would be interesting.

@coliver I will probably do a write up. If you want my Pop's Perspective on it... (Note: Shameless Plug for Pop's books, lol)... The Kindle version is a buck.... It's called "Hear the Sunshine"

Cool thanks.

I feel like it is a slow day around here. And when I go over to SW it feels like a slow day there too. There is just like nothing going on.
