arontius | It's Wednesday? I Thought It Was Friday! Damn It! :-) (Reply)

.....Holy Damn! It's 104 degrees in Bremerton! I was actually one of the lucky ones today though. I had at least three fans pointed at me and blowing full blast. The guys on the boat didn't have that luxury. Thankfully, management is afraid of lawsuits and started shutting down work after lunch. Anything heat producing on board was shut down. Any jobs that involved inventory or inside shop were emphasized. Someone mentioned a thermometer reading 110 degrees inside a space on the boat. Ack!

.....The bedroom is already walled off and the window box air conditioner going full tilt. We'll be able to sleep tonight at least. :-)

.....Tonight is the site walk through at Silver Spurs for Last Chance. Kassian may get wind burnt at the speed of this walk-through. It is too freakin' hot to spend too much time walking about. :-) Although, to be honest, we wouldn't have to spend a good deal of time there in any case since we were in the same place last year and we've already discussed what things Their Excellencies would like to see changed.

.....Then this weekend we look at a potential site in Poulsbo. There is an event this weekend on the Tribal Property overlooking Liberty Bay in Poulsbo. It will be an excellent chance to see the property with tents and people set up for an event. It will give us an idea of what to expect if we put an event ourselves on the property. I'd still like to see if there is a good chance of holding September Crown there. But to be on the safe side we went ahead and penciled ourselves in at Port Gamble. That, at least, is a sure thing.

.....I like the Poulsbo site though. It has a beautiful view of the Bay and of Mount Ranier. It has one entrance. It has some nice grounds. And it is close to town, but secluded enough to be able to develop the proper ambience for Crown. I'm on the fence though as to its 'for real' viability. Is it too hilly to really be of use? We'll get a better feel for an answer after this weekend I think.

.....As if that wasn't enough I had the Port Orchard Airport dangled in front of me again. The Airplane group that usually holds a Labor Day event out there is thinkin of moving to another site this year. I was asked whether we'd be interested in the site if it were available. I said that yes, we'd be interested. Made me cringe internally, but I thought that this would be a good opportunity to get our foot in the door at least.

.....Man, it's freakin' hot! My desktop and wireless keep crashing on me. Maybe I ought to move both into the bedroom? Hmmm...

.....I thought about maybe going to HSL this weekend, but the more I think about the heat, the less I want to go. :-) OOOooooo, OR, maybe a dip into the Elwha River?! Oooo, with it's ice melt water?! Now that sounds refreshing! Hmmmm......

.....Stay cool everyone!
