What a change over the last couple of days.
Yesterday, the office fan heater under my desk had to go on a couple of times, as the chill was in the air.
Today, fek-a-doodle-do, it is baltic, the winds are howling through the place and there is a definite rock and roll about the installation. Might venture underdeck once it is daylight just to see how bad it is. The 6am forecast was 60Knots and 5.5 to 9m seas, so not that bad, think it is just the shock to the system after such a relatively good summer.
Other than that, don't think I will wander far...The biscuits are stocked, there is plenty milk in the fridge for the tea. brrrrrr.....
Times like this I wish I had taken my RasPi out with me.

So how big do the seas get?

On a pretty bad day you might be around 15 metres. It is when you get the rogue waves that hit, formed by the convergence of multiple waves is when you really notice it.
If you look at this video you will see a typical rough day, and then get one of the convergences at around the 45 second mark.

Good video ! At 50 when the wave hits almost the top (or should I say bottom) of the rig, top-left corner of the installation, there was yellow light, was it just reflection ?
Guys on rig don't get sea sickness (not sure if there is any other word for it). Its pretty tough when you see waves the whole day.
Thanks,

The platforms typically have big sodium lights that shine off the bottom of the platform towards the sea. When the wave hit, it looked like all the spray / crest of the wave engulfed the light causing it to be more noticeable.

We are having the first bad weather of the season here in San Diego. Wednesday saw the first rain during rush hour traffic since...April? May? Not really sure, but it was not too bad.
I stayed at work an extra hour and decided not to go on the freeway where the Highway Patrol's website reported "Roadway flooded" right around where I normally take an off ramp to go onto another freeway.
Anyway, we may have a few showers during the commute Thursday morning, but it looks like the temperature will be back to 80°F (26°C) on Monday.

Yesterday afternoon I had to pick up my daughter from school, parked in the car park 10 minutes early and sat listening to the radio, 5 minutes later it started to rain, by the time I had to leave to get into the school it was absolutely lashing down, the wind had picked up and I the rain was being driven against me. I was in my wife's car so didn't have a coat, just wearing work trousers and shirt. By the time I got into the school I was soaked through, my shirt practically see-through.
Then it stopped raining, the sun came out, the wind dropped off, and she came out of school.

I was just telling my son and DIL that yesterday the temps here have definitely cooled in the last few days and I had to go get winter clothes out of storage yesterday.
Fall is in the air.
And we're heading to the mountains to camp a week from tomorrow, got a felling that campfire is going feel good at night. Glad I bought a down mummy bag last season.

Maybe? Yes, I'm sure he meant it sucks.

How to Tell the Difference Between Nerds and Geeks[^]
[Nerd]
YES, I AM A NERD
Bookworm, I’m studious
From my cerebral cortex to my gluteus
Back in Kindergarten
I aced my college entrance exam
Now, I’m no rocket scientist –
Oh wait, I am
When I pour my Alpha-bits
I get nothing but straight A’s
My retainer and headgear connect
To a back brace
I've got a pocket-protector protector protector
I broke my glasses on purpose so I could tape ‘em together
Run back to Reddit
And type stuff no one will see
You’re a geek
That means you’re just a hipster wannabe
[Geek]
That’s right, I’m a geek
I’ve got brains, and a personality
I wear my glasses sincerely
And my T-Shirts ironically
There’re some things you can’t learn in a class
Or else I’d sign you up for “Intro to How Not to Be a Social Outcast”
You’re just so early Twenty-Thirteen
I was the cool form of uncool before uncool became a thing
I use an app to pair pork with the perfect Bordeaux
Too bad there’s no app to neutralize your B.O
While you’re lost in Second Life letting your fingernails grow long
I’ll be syncing up my iPhone, tablet, TV and your mom
[Nerd]
Sure, grooming’s not my thing
But I don’t care
I look so good in chain-mail
That it’s not Renaissance Faire
[Geek]
Doesn't LARP stand for loser and reject party?
I’d rather cosplay with hotties
Than play fake army
I tried Dungeons and Dragons once
And I died . . . of boredom
But I’ll still kick your Assassin’s Creed post-mortem
Mario Party’s the only one you get invited to
Your life is like Skyrim
An endless quest of solitude
[Nerd]
Ooo, you beat Angry Birds
You’re not a gamer ‘cause you battle your friends with words
You click on cute icons
I execute commands
Do you really need a “genius” to teach you Garage Band?
[Geek]
I landed the first ROFLCOPTER
And took in orphans when I was 12 ‘cause I’m an early adopter
I can wear Google Glass without looking like a dweeb
Okay, maybe not, but I can Yelp us some good pho to eat
[Nerd]
You need 16 gigs of RAM to watch a Steve Jobs Doc?!
I keep an actual ram in my PC!
His name is Spock
[Geek]
I’m a new console
Your face is birth control
I troll Brony sites
You look like an actual troll
[Nerd]
I’m fluent in C++
[std::cout << “You just suck! \n”;\]
Can your iPhone auto-correct your dumb haircut?
[Geek]
Hold on a second
Let me tweet this info-graphic I made
That illustrates the fact you’ll never get to procreate
[Nerd]
I just haven’t met a woman of a high enough caliber
The only dates you have are on your Google Calendar
[Geek]
You’re losing this battle
Your foam sword won’t help
In the future you’ll randomly access this memory
And crap yourself
[Nerd]
Did I mention I built a dancing robot?
[Robot]
No one gives a Shatner about your skinny jeans
Do you even know what URL means?
[Geek]
You don’t know what you’re Tolkien about
(I assume in Elvish)
Much wind pours from your mouth you cowardly dog!
You are ugly, and your mother dresses you
Go kiss an Orc
[Nerd]
You know
[Both]
You are a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain!
