Summer Summary

If you couldn't tell, I've more or less lost interest in this blog. However, I'll try to post major highlights from time to time. Summer has been busy and uneventful, but here are some snippets:

- I have now increased to three days a week at NWS. It's mainly programming/research/development, which isn't all that interesting. I've been working on a climatological probability of precipitation program, and am about to start exploring putting forecast information into GIS maps. I think I'm going on a "business trip" to CA and OR later in September.
- The thesis is almost done. Due to timing constraints, I may have to defend the first part of October, or not until November or later (that would be a bad thing). However, no one told me about a paperwork deadline, so I won't officially get my diploma until Spring.
- There really haven't been many group get-togethers or hikes, until busting out three in the last three weeks.
- I went to my first major league soccer game in July. It was pretty boring.
- I attended a mesoscale meteorology conference that was being held here in SLC a couple weeks ago and was able to see two of my former NC State professors.
- I'm going home next Friday!!

Pictures have been posted: lots of hikes, a little weather, the soccer game, and cooking stuff.
