The Grand AcePace, Lonestar, and Shep meet-up.

Post by MKSheppard »

We walked around and visited the following places in DC

National Air And Space
American History Museum
Natural History Museum
WWII Memorial

in 91F, 46% humidity weather (feels like 94F).

For you Europeans, that's 32.7C (feels like 34.4C).

Ugh, I'm absolutely pooped.

The Grand Meetup outside the bookstore at the NASM; after Ace got lost finding his way and was late.

Image
Lonestar tells us a Sea Story (TM) while we have a drink at noonish.

Image
While Ace Listens...

Image
Ace and Lonestar watch TV from the 1960s.

Image
Ace, as POTUS.

Image
Walking around in this weather makes Lonestar go 'something'.

Image
Yes, that's it, go CRAZY!

The preceeding pictures mostly did not include me, because I was taking these with my camera; and are sort of poor quality because my camera is a 2 MP Kodak which is old old. Ace's camera, a 6MP Sony job should be a vast improvement, and you should notice it when he gets around to uploading his pictures; or Lonestar with his for that matter.

Man, Ace would not stop whining about the heat. I thought it was nothing, and I was the biggest guy there!

The heat by the time we were at the Natural History Museum in the end was kicking me in the nuts. The walk to the WWII monument and back took a lot out of me. We really needed a sit-down inside the Nat. History museum to rest and cool off.

We call it.....air conditioning, Lonestar. :wink:

And in other words, Ace just learned today why we have evil, energy inefficient air conditioners in every house and car in the united states....because it's freaking hot here, and we don't like to sweat.

Mr "I'm wearing a white tee shirt" Lonestar. I shouldn't have picked a dark color.

That was the main reason I went up and took the picture.

Kendall, JD, stuff it, it's comfortable and actully my preferred sitting is with legs crossed like those martial art practicers, but thats not fit for public seats.

:P

In sumup, today was fun, did alot that was seriously interesting, I won't be uploading pics right now, hopefully I can do a seriously huge batch upload once I get home, and just post the interesting out of those,

I forgot to mention his amazment at the North American institution of "Free refills" for fountain drinks.

"This coke is dodgy."

"So pour it out and get another."

"....


You can do that?"

:P

You look drunk, Matt.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

91F hot? Bah, I tell you! Bah! T'was 111F around the Badlands in South Dakota. :D

And I'm not an Easterner so I don't really understand those humidity ratings, but most of the time I was going up and down the east coast the humidity rating was 80%. :?

Either way, all of that adds up to, Bah! :)



Now, that meet looks like it was some good fun. :) Is Ace Pace from Israel? I guess that explains the coke refill thing. although some places during my trip they didn't let you refill, apparently.
What's her bust size!?

It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!

An ISRAELI was whining about the heat in America?!

I disavow any knowledge of this guy, people. He's no Jewlander.

Oh yeah - Shep, you do exist! I hadn't been quite sure without photographic evidence..... :P

Yeah, but what kind of humidity do you guys have in Israel? My friends who've been to the East Coast tell me that it's a viciously humid place.

Depends. I suppose Jerusalem, naturally elevated, would typically be lower than average on humidity. But Central Israel IS humid, dammit!

Yes, central israel is humid, there's a reason I go there only to jump into an ACed spot, Jerusalem by itself is pretty dry.
