italian heat

It is hot here. No AC in my house. Sort of uncomfortable. Anyway, at night it cools down near the mountains and it's tolerable.
I'm excited......I leave for the states in a little over a week and a half. We'll be going straight to the Salt Lake City, Utah area first. After that, it's on to Vegas. I'm flying an F-16 the whole way to Utah. It will be one of those flights where you're locked in the cockpit for about 10 hours (the Azores to Utah leg of the flight). Can we say painful?
I've been staying busy here. We just got finished flying a week of nights. I've been getting home around 4am. I like flying on NVG's sometimes, but it takes a while to get used to again.
Last weekend, four of us went to Zell-Am-See, Austria. (Pronounced ZellumSay). It was sweet.....huge lake below the glacier. What did that mean? Snowboarding in July. You can actually still ski the top of the Kaprun Glacier...so we did just that. The snow wasn't great, but it was worth it.
Well, I'm off to work.....
ciao
