Anyways...I'm really happy they got here finally and am pleased with how they turned out. So here's a picture. Maybe I'll do something fun in my personal life soon to post - so I don't have to result to work related posts. Ugh.

Finally...
Yeah...my dorky weather work post. As StormReady Program Leader for the NWS in Louisville, I've been working on some street signs for a couple of our StormReady Supporters for about 6 months now. Finally the signs were printed and came in. Of course, both Six Flags and Slugger Field (AAA Reds Stadium) summer seasons are pretty much over, so they will have to wait until next year to display. HA! Next up...a design for the Kentucky State Parks - since we'll be designating 32 of them StormReady Supporters over the next 18 months.

Summer 2008: Major League Baseball Game #4
One Week after my Tribe game my best friend Joe and I travelled to St. Louis (arch photos in another post soon) to take in a Cardinals game thanks to my friend from work Liz securing us her Uncle's season tickets.
It was hot and sunny again...and thanks to Joe's patience, I was able to snap over 100 pictures of the stadium before and during the game. Of course, only about 10-20 came out really well - and a few of those are posted here. I managed to get myself into the club seats in the 7th inning by just walking right past the door guard like I belonged there. Of course, Joe hesitated and didn't get through. So...I watch the last couple of innings from the really really good seats right behind home plate while Joe didn't. I'm such a great friend. :(
More from St Louis soon...including a very interesting tram ride to the top of the Gateway Arch.
Storm Shelter signs everywhere! Busch Stadium is the only StormReady MLB Park in the U.S.
The Busch Stadium main gate...and that other St. Louis landmark
Joe taking in the view...and patiently waiting for me to finish dorkingly taking photos of everything
If someone hits a homer into Big Mac Land (2nd deck left field) during the game, everyone gets a free Big Mac. Someone Did!!!

Summer 2008: Major League Baseball Game #3
A brief trip home to Akron at the end of July to visit my family and spend a little time with some friends. Got to spend quite a bit of time with my friend Katie who managed to score some pretty good seats to an Akron Aeros game on July 26th. For those of you who have no idea who the Akron Aeros are - they are the AA Cleveland Indians. We got to see about an hr of very heavy rain in a Thunderstorm that was in a Severe Warning (no one in the stadium was notified of this of course) right after the first inning and made it through the game around 12am. Thanks to Kurt for texting me severe weather information while I stood under the concourse hoping to not get struck by lightning. Anyways...I don't have any pictures from that game as I took off my dork hat for one night and left the camera at home.
So just 11 hours after the Aeros game was over - Katie and I headed up to C-town to catch an Indians game. It was kids day at the park so I splurged for some really good seats about 8 rows up from First Base so we could avoid all the screaming children in the upper deck. Great seats...way more sun then my head could handle. Tribe had a perfect game through 5 1/3 Innings against the Twins - but then it fell apart and the Twins won. Oh well...
Anyhoo...here's a couple of shots from Jacobs Field that day. I refuse to call it Progressive Field...and will probably never call it that. Call me stubborn...but Progressive Field just doesn't quite have that ring to it.
