The worms are out. At least they were yesterday. That's how you know it's been raining like hell, when the worms come out that is. When it really rains, the ground gets so saturated with water that those poor little air-breathers from below, the lowly earthworms, come up for some air. I walked to class on Friday 'cuz it was supposed to rain even more (and when you ride your bike in the rain - you get even wetter than if you'd walked w/o an umbrella), and the whole way all I could see was the huge outpouring of earthworms into the gutters. It was erie, really.

Otherwise, Friday was a pretty good day. I aced my Naval History Exam, which included bonus points for knowledge about Chuck "Carlos Ray" Norris. woot. I spent about 5 hours in the machine shop working on parts for the Wind Turbine. It's been a while since I've spent such time on my feet, so it was a real bummer that I had to walk home in addition, so I was prettymuch only in the mood to sit since I was on my feet for about 7 hours total. I think I'll take some pictures today during the group meeting to show the progress, they'll probably think I'm crazy - but whatever.

I have a huge to-do list. I always do. If I were a smart bear, I'd spend all day tomorrow getting some of it done.... we'll see how that works out. Hopefully we'll be cooking out w/ James and the gang tonight. The grill has been getting a workout lately, and that excites me!
