\"Flat
\nOur new flat screen TV integrated into the
shelve wall…. Thank you Seb!<\/div>\n

Seb came in on the red-eye from San Francisco and called around 7:30am but of course I missed it. I found the call a little later and we hooked up. I started working on the patio extension and even got the entire lawn mowed before Seb appeared in his rental. He had a good flight but had not slept a second and was tired even after a quick cappuccino.
\nSo we needed some action for him and that’s what we did. The TV we had bought the last weekend turned out to be broken and we went back to the store to exchange it and we even decided to go for a better version with not too much additional cost. An LED versus the LCD we had before and instead of 60 Hz now we have120 Hz refresh rate. And a better known vendor. After having completed that part we installed the TV into the existing shelve.\u00a0 Instead of completely sawing out the pieces we just took out the first 3 inches which allows the TV screen surface to be just at the front of the shelve…. Nice idea from Seb. After the installation was complete we had a beer on the porch and some Nachos baked in the oven with salsa and cheese.<\/p>\n

\"BlakeAndAntiMosquito\"
\nBlake in front on our porch with our new anti-
mosquito device….. an oscillating tower fan.
Well, it does not work! but we tried.<\/div>\n

Now of course Seb got even more tired and we quickly developed another task. We packed the kids into the car and went fan hunting…. as it was amazingly hot under the roof. Tower fans and a ceiling fan were on our plan. After target was out we found a nice 52 inches fan at the home depot but also there, not tower fans. Ana insisted to drop by the bad bath and beyond a few meter from the HD but I was sure tower fans would be sold out there as well. It turned out Ana was right. We got two nice tower fans.
\nWhen we got home Seb took a shower and drove to the airport with plenty of time to catch his flight. In fact he must be boarding as I write this post.<\/p>\n

Following a facebook post from one of my friends in reference to a NYT article<\/a>, fans in particular oscillating ones are an excellent ‘low-tech’ mosquito deterrent. That sounded like an awesome coincidence, I have a porch with tons of mosquitos and love to sit there when the sun goes down and I have a fan. As an experimentalist I put the theory to the test…. Initially I thought it worked but it turned out Boston mosquitos have figured out a way to find the victim even with a oscillating fan blowing at full blast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
