My entire body aches.
I forgot what's its like to run around like a maniac for 8 hours a day.
Jeepers. Who wants to rub me down? :devil:
 
One of these days I am going to learn how to be a man, and get the things I want.

Or not...
 
1800 words today, and more on the way after a bit of a breather, I'm sure. Feels good after so long stuck on pause.

Air France Crash Data, Audio Are Retrieved From Black Boxes
By Laurence Frost

May 16 (Bloomberg) -- Investigators of the Air France Flight 447 crash in 2009 said they successfully recovered the full contents of the black-box flight data and voice recorders.

The flight parameters and cockpit audio from the black boxes, recovered this month from the bottom of the Atlantic, will be analyzed for an interim report to be published in “several weeks,” France’s BEA air-accident investigation bureau said today in an e-mailed statement.

Investigators retrieved “all the data from the flight data recorder as well as the whole recording of the last two hours of the flight from the cockpit voice recorder,” BEA said. The black boxes were immersed for two years in 3,900 meters (12,800 feet) of seawater.

The breakthrough comes two weeks before the second anniversary of the Airbus A330’s unexplained plunge into the Atlantic en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, which killed all 228 people on board. According to the plane’s last automated radio transmissions, faulty airspeed readings caused the autopilot to shut down in bad weather, a situation pilots are trained to cope with.

The voice recording alone is expected to help explain why the crew flew into a storm that other planes deliberately avoided, and whether flight Captain Marc Dubois was at the controls or had handed over to his co-pilots.

The BEA had no comment on the recording or any of the other recovered data, spokeswoman Martine Del Bono said today.

BEA chief Jean-Paul Troadec said May 12 the cockpit recording would first be heard by two BEA investigators, a police officer and a court-appointed expert. He said the agency aimed to complete its investigation and issue a final report early in 2012.

The flight data unit and audio recorder, made by Honeywell International Inc., were recovered from the seabed and transported to Paris this month. An undersea search in April located the plane’s wreckage, after three previous operations had failed.

I've discovered something about my washer.
It has a digital display of the estimated time remaining.
Yeah. It should be called 'football' time. Two minutes is not two minutes. :D
 
This Afternoon: A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 3pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 75. Light east wind. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Tonight: A chance of showers and thunderstorms...



Sonofabitch. I wish the damned weather forecasters would just say, "We don't have a friggin' clue what the weather's going to be like this afternoon" instead of saying there's a 40% chance of thunderstorms. This morning, they were saying the chance of precipitation was 80%. Now, the sun is shining and I'm trying to figure out whether I ought to go out for a run.

When summer weather patterns kick in around here, the forecasters invariably stick in the obligatory thunderstorm warning since there really is a 50/50 chance on any given day unless a "high pressure system" just passed through the day before. The "Bermuda high" weather template with its attendant humidity is here— a sure sign of summer.


 
I am going to have a breakdown...
I haven't written in forever... just put the cd in to do so, yay!
And tell me why it's searching for content?!?! :eek: And taking a thousand years to do so?!?!

I think I need to lay down. :(
 
Or, I could be completely misreading the signals being sent right now. I have no idea anymore...
