Pretty light winds this morning, enough to be interesting without being intense.

Dropped several thousand dollars on a new engine driven welder is what I did this morning.

But you know the cool thing? For me every morning I wake up to a *expletive deleted*ing awesome beach scene.

Spent the morning shipping a half a million bucks of unassembled drone back to MacDill AFB. Spent the previous three days flying it around the ocean on mostly autopilot because I was looking down into the water at the best scuba diving conditions I have seen in years without me being able to dive.

I dragged my butt out of bed to go to work for three hours.

The dead season is pretty much in full swing. Almost no boarding or grooming to be had.

Rolled out of bed at 7:55. Scratched, yawned. picked up my pants where I had dropped them the night before and carried them down to my office. Pulled the RSA keyfob out of the pocket and dropped them next to the desk. Sat down in my underwear and logged in to work at 8:01

Somewhere before 9 my wife dropped in with a plate of bacon and coffee.

Juggled some tomcats and apaches until lunch and that was my morning.

Yep that's a lifeguard can. We have one strapped on to the front of each ATV and in the toolbox of each truck.

They say that the wind smells sweet right after the rain  =)


RKL, I think it's absolutely wonderful that you are able to do that.  I would still enjoy sailing, but living out my dream of horses right now.  You can only follow so many rainbows.

Sitting in a cramped waiting room, waiting to pee in a cup for a job, with other people being borderline abusive to their children who are also probably here to pee in cups, but I'll wager not for jobs...

Had to get a key for my car at the dealer, cut all new from the VIN number.  Olds ones so worn that re-cutting  them at a hardware store resulted in the same worn-ness.  Was getting to be pretty hard to jiggle the old ones just right to get the car to start.  Figured I'd better do that now before I got stuck somewhere with keys that wouldn't jiggle just right any more.  Other errands.  Pick up laundry, pick up mail.

Thought about sending a thank-you note to the folks involved in that Avon Co case, where the judge said it was OK to leave your gun in the car in the Post Office parking lot.  Was getting tired of having to park across the street from the PO to get my mail.

Half-composed the letter in my head on the way home.

I may actually write it and send it.

We do bi-annual piss tests and by the deities I hate the piss test place.  Always full of probably-doing-it-for-the-probation-office types.  I get twitchy about the idea of having to pop someone on company time.

Activating the Thread Drift feature of APS:

Reminds me of a time in Colorado Springs when my employer sent me to pee in a cup.  It was an annual arsenic exposure test (I was an engineer at a gallium arsenide foundry), but it was done at a local facility where druggy pee tests were a regular thing.
The attendant was going to follow me into the rest room to ensure I didn't substitute non-drug-laced pee for my sample.
The conversation that followed his declaration was interesting as it was assumed I was just trying to skate on a drug test.

Went on a hike with the dog, came across a leg trap with a live coyote in it next to a well used trail in the national forest that looked like it had been there a while.  Shot the coyote.  Put the dog on the leash, left a message with the local ranger station regarding the trap.

Went to bed at 3 am. Couldn't fall asleep until about 4 am. Woke up at 5:45, went to check on an operation that was running on my computer. Worked on that until 7:45. Went back to bed, and got up at 11. Now it's almost 1 pm and I have little to show for the day.
