July 20, 2009: Cupola going up on the house
Well, we made it home. The trip to Rhode Island was nice. Eastern US WX Conference was fun. Learned a bit about convective snow banding from one of the speakers. Really enjoyed all of the talks, though. Fun meeting people! We made it home about 8 or 9 pm last night. Was a long day of travel.
The weather here is AMAZING. Rain is on the way, though. Tommy (my brother-in-law) is going to blame me for this! He told me to stay in Rhode Island so the weather would stay nice here. Oh well – what can you do. I love rain. 🙂
The Cupola – don’t ask me that is what they call it – is going on top of the house today. Rodney, Don, and Nathan were working hard this afternoon on getting it up on the garage roof.
Otherwise, homework and tests. I have six tests in the next two weeks – including finals. 🙁 BUT – then it is ALMOST over. One HUGE test at the end of the three year program – you have to make a B or higher on it to pass the entire program. That has me stressing out already. Anyhoo – no time to stress. Just need to study and work on the current tests at hand.
Some photos from today – as always you can click for larger image size
I am excited – they have the Cupola put together.
Joey doesn’t look quite as excited as I was 🙂
