What I've Been Up To....
Started this post on Monday, then came down with a head cold, which is now progressing South. Feeling better, but still a bit woozy...... To...

A long time ago, I helped in a human factors test to see how fast we could set up a FLIR system in Arctic conditions. Trips into and out of the -60 degree environmental chamber for a net delta T of 130 degrees was quite a shocking experience. We wore parkas and all the arctic gear.
ReplyDeleteI told Damsel about your sudden change there and all she did was say "WOW. Hope they stay warm inside."
Closest I've come to that was doing Thermal Shock Tests on flight hardware. We had one chamber at 100*C, and another at -75*C. After a 45 minute soak in one, you put the special gloves on, and had two helpers on the doors. we'd do a "Three, Two, One, NOW!" and one guy would open the door on the DUT chamber, you'd grab the DUT, and swap it to the other chamber and slam the door as fast as you could, all powered up with a harness hanging off it. It was quite the drill!
Delete2240 -3° with 2" of snow and still snowing. This past afternoon it was 46°.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you meant 1940? 2140 here, it's -4, and light snow. Got 2~3" on the glass "snow table" outside.
Delete8:40 pm. Past two days I've been like a SP 5 at a Viet Cong Reveille.
ReplyDeleteEverything OK?
DeleteHealth is fine. Just having some concentration lapse.
DeleteOK, let us know if you need anything...
DeleteYeah..... temperatures in Colorado can drop faster than the stock market and change more often than a woman's mind.
ReplyDeleteToo true.
DeleteWoke up to 11 with WC of -11, now up to a whole 13... and snow flurry this morning. So much for that high of 28...
ReplyDeleteThe high today was .3*. At least it got above zero.....
DeleteMerry Christmas drjim. Stay warm. You and OldNFO forgot to close the gates and all of that cold air made it to Bandera. To top it off, early Friday morning, during the coldest temperatures, there were cascading failures in our rural electric co-op's system and we had rolling blackouts in the eastern end of Bandera County till mid-day.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Bill! Next time I'll make sure I secure the gates better!
