Well, there's "refreeze", so why not "unthaw"?

 

[pgriz]

Well, in my defence, the Oxford dictionary does support my use of "unthaw" as being equivalent to "thaw" in North American usage. see: unthaw: definition of unthaw in Oxford dictionary (British & World English)

Although I'll admit, it's an awkward way of expressing the idea. Probably should have used "defrost". Unless that too has a linguistic booby-trap built in.

Back in NY. Temp is 8. This I understand and tolerate much better than 78 in January.

Okay, people, quit yer kvetching and go shoot some pictures! I'll be developing for a few days. I shot approximately 500 frames on film (combo of 35mm and 120).

Nope. Not gonna happen. I have a valid excuse though; I'm a southern girl, born and bred. I was not created to be subjected to these kinds of temps!! So, you take your pictures while I commence kvetching and then come about June, we'll switch places.

This is just. Too. Cold. I hate it. I hate everything about it. My body wants to hibernate. I find it a nearly insurmountable task just to get out of bed and drag myself through the day. Actually being productive will have to wait until March.

Morning, hosers. It's 10 F here, or at least was when I came in. It's kind of slow at work so I wonder why I went out in that just to get here - oh, yeah, I got paid this week - I need constant reminders. I don't go out shooting in these conditions anymore. I never did much, but now I'm content to skip it and wait for a warmer day, which here in the Mid-Atlantic area is usually not far away. There's always the option of still-life indoors, but with work being done on the house that's not really practical right now. Going to finish my coffee and look for something productive to do, at least for a little while.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. I had a wonderful dinner at Dominics at Oceanside Harbor last night, chicken carciofini and a Fez Parker riesling. I took a few snaps of the sunset and the pier. 7:00 a.m. and 52F right now ... supposed to hit the low 70's. Isn't refreeze and unthaw the same thing? If thaw is to go from from frozen to unfrozen ... then unthaw is to go from unfrozen to frozen ... no wait ... unfrozen is thaw ... so unthaw is frozen ... no wait ... thaw is to frozen what unthaw is to unfrozen ... or is unthaw to unfrozen what thaw is to frozen ... no wait ...

At least my coffee is hot, unthaw and not refrozen ... fresh Kona. mmmmmhhh ... not the freeze-dried kind.

Guten morgen hosers. We've hit 0F! It's a not christmas day miracle! We're supposed to break out of this frigid spell this Saturday or Sunday.

On a side note, I don't have a hot tub, though with all these random naked women around my house I probably should.

i was up in the white mountains last night with my daughter (daddy daughter time). Got back this morning. still recovering. -10 degrees or so. i would like to tell you how many great pics i have but truth is i was so cold i think i only took two decent ones and those i didnt even want to really deal with. Just too freakn cold especially with the wind chill factor.

to put it another way, i was afraid to take a crap in the woods i didnt want frostbite on my but and instead of pitching a tent i opted for the just drive back home option. Getting to old for such things me thinks. scooted up to northern vermont near the border and decided that was enough fun. we are going home. lol But it was still a good little excursion. Good quality time.

Aaaannnddd…that was TMI. Now I gotta get THAT image out of my head.

Seriously, I need that hot tub. There's so many naked models here, and they don't all fit in my shower.

We may expect some big news from Cuba tomorrow.

Morning, hosers. Sipping my Folgers Classic Roast as I type. It's 14° F here, north winds blowing at 20mph, 7° windchill. Yes, I'm getting cabin fever! It's too cold and windy to do much of anything outdoors. I'm thinking a half hour in the steaming hot whirlpool, then changing to the steaming hot shower, is what's for breakfast this morning! Shoulder therapy at 3pm. Then maybe Chili's for a juicy rib-eye!! Stay warm out there!!

FYI Hosers- Not that I'm rubbing it in ... but this week I've planted a new raspberry (Jewel), a new Blueberry, a Boysenberry, Purple Sage, Cilantro, Spinach, Peppers and a flat of Thyme (I'm using Thyme as a ground cover around the pond. This week I've harvested the last of the persimmons, Mandarin Oranges, Valencia Oranges, Meyer Lemons, Mexican Limes and broccoli. In a couple of days a few strawberries will be good to go. I've had a pleasant time watching Monarch caterpillars, eat, create chrysalis and emerge as butterflies. I love winter, less tourists ... more parking.
