      If those were my weather forecasts, I'd hang myself. In the shade.

        It's pretty full-on Seul, even though we are used to warm weather down here.

        Where I live we are lucky to get a breeze off the ocean, so our max temp today was only about 29C. Still wearing the 18oz Beatle Busters….it will be quite a while until I need a jacket again.

          Lucky bastards, haven't been able to go anywhere sans union suit for months and am now measuring snow fall accumulation by the foot. Everyone keeps saying it's pretty and they wish they had some, but none of the assholes will actually come get it 🙂

            With you Brother. 18oz IH-634SV's going strong in this. A guy I work with in Melbourne said it was 30c OVER NIGHT last night. Going to be the same tonight; http://www.melbourneburning.com/. Guy is tweaking out. No AC @ his place.

                  Many thanks.  I posted this in another thread but our max. temperatures over the past few days in Melbourne were as follows:

                  Tuesday: 42.8
                  Wednesday: 41.7
                  Thursday: 43
                  Friday: 43.9

                  No air con at work, unfortunately, makes for a very unpleasant working week.  Cool change just starting to come in now and I'm sipping on my first Friday night margherita as I type.

                    You guys (Melbourne), and Adelaide copped the worst of it - poor buggers. We got off relatively lightly here in Sydney, although the humidity has been of tropical proportions. Enjoy the cool change mate!

                    ** for any US people not familiar with the conversion, 38C = 100F.

                              It gets very lonely at sea. Technology like tablets have made long voyages much more tolerable.

                                          Ok, I'm pretty excited about this:

                                          I got an email yesterday looking for Navy cooks to assist (cook for) SEALs in the field. I'm at the top of a waiting list for a 5 day training exercise in March. They're looking for people that are motivated (check), physically fit (check), and able to think on their feet (check).

                                          My imagination is running wild on this one. Here's what I know: They're going to fly me out, provide uniforms, and I'll be able to work on my Expeditionary Warfare Pin (weapons qualification and maintenance, marksmanship, land navigation, field communications, and expeditionary camp deployment) while I'm there.

                                          I don't know if I'll actually be selected, but I feel like I have a pretty good chance. Sounds like a unique opportunity and I had to pounce on it.
