Hi all,

Today is the first full day off I've had in the 13 days I've been here It's back to work again tomorrow as well

I've already had heat exhaustion, I was suffering on the third day. I'm still fairly white though, I've managed to avoid sunburn with plenty of factor 50 sunblock Since then I've been OK. I'm looking forward to getting home where 2 litres of water is a daily intake, not just 30 minutes worth. I have never been anywhere this hot, 50C may only be halfway to boiling, but it's like that most of the day. It's usually above 30 by the time I'm up in the morning and it doesn't drop below that until after I'm back in bed, if at all.
The jets don't like the heat either, the high temperatures cause the fuel to expand whilst it's in the tanks. This has the unfortunate effect of causing the jet to throw the 'excess' fuel onto the dispersal It also limits the amount of fuel we can put into the jets before they can't get off the deck. The engines hold their heat for a lot longer as well, with the result that I've burnt myself several times on hot pipes etx whilst refilling oils.

I've not seen any scorpions or camel spiders yet, but I have seen a few gekkos. Maybe friends of Onime?

Nice to hear from you Martin - take care!

Leo "Apollo11"

Howdy from the office, Bruce.

My valiant defense of Humanity from the Alien Invasion is proceeding at a rather slow pace right now. Vacations have certainly slowed things down. Mynok just sent me the 2/26/42 turn last night. From my perspective, I think I'm getting a good enough handle on the big picture that my turns don't need to take 3 hours anymore.

I'm having a blast with the game, and hope to get back to a more regular pace once school and the new hockey season start up. Then, I'll be back to a much more regular schedule. The good news is that Mynok has another game going, so hopefully I have not been frustrating him with my slow pace too much.

As far as the game goes, I think it's progressing without too many huge surprises so far. There are Alien troops ashore at the northern end of Java now, with lots of ships at sea in the area promising more pain.

I'm still holding out at Manila, but I think that's more because of Mynok giving other areas priority for his troops than my great leadership.

We've each made a small mistake or two, getting TF's shot up when they didn't really need to, but no major blunders that I have noticed.

All in all, I'm learning a ton and having fun. That's what it's all about!

Heh, it's neither this week. Upside is that it's hump day for me. Day 5 of a 9 day work week.

Oh yeah. I need a break though. A WitP turn wouldn't hurt either.

Yeah, I have a game going with tc464 that we've been playing a couple of years. We're to May 43. I also had one going with Wolfie, but that one died with his computer. I think he's still having computer problems because he keeps trying to start it back up with no success.

Thread Damned Meeting Trolls!!!

I actually got myself motivated to bring my gear and run at lunch today. My 11-12 meeting has spawned another meeting at 12:30. So much for my lunch run.
