I just moved into my new place a few weeks ago and had plans this weekend to apply the water seal to my new wood fence. It has already been rained on a couple of times. I frantically painted as much as I could yesterday afternoon. The container says that you should give the stuff 24-48 hours to seal before it gets wet. I kept checking the weather forecast and it now looks like Dallas will start getting a lot of rain from Hurricane Ike about 10AM tomorrow morning. From what I can tell, we are going to get a few days of rain. So much for getting the thing painted in time. I guess I will just use the afternoon to assembly my new non-motorized lawn mower and see what I can get done. Tomorrow I am going to try my hand at sealing some tile and grout. Owning a house is great, but it seems like their is always stuff to get done. I kind of miss being able to call the office and having them send some one to fix it.
I am not sure if I will ever get my notes typed up from my Middle East trip. Somehow in this move I have managed to misplace quite a bit of stuff, including my trip notes. Last week, an English couple that was on the trip sent me a DVD that had almost two hours of footage from all three countries.
Internship is going well, but it is quite busy; thus the month or two delay between posts. There is so much stuff to learn and you really have to learn it on the fly. One of the hardest things about internship is figuring out a way to meet up with some of your other co-interns at other programs. With our call schedules, it is nearly impossible to meet. We are limited to 80 hours a week, but if you have three or four people working 80 hours a week, what are the chances of finding a time to get them together.
