Greeting from the depth of the Bat Cave. In here early, chasing light beams and trying to figure out why some of these "inspectors" prefer to spend 2 minutes to salvage out a $1000+ set of optics rather than spend less than a $100 and thirty minutes to fix them. However, I will not get into that argument since I spent over an hour yesterday trying to explain the same stuff to some people looking at me with the deer in the head light expression.
Got a 0800 evaulation of a new Training Bn this morning. Should be real interesting. Beer is on ice.
Long last couple of weeks. Been on port and starboard. Come in and stay till the brain gets fried, get some sleep, and then come back and fry some more. Anybody want a job? The pay ain't great but the company is.
Outa here, breakfast platter at the Starlight is calling.

Have a great Sunday - - don't spill the popcorn when the Buccaneers score - - - hmmm, they are playing aren't they???? Duh, who is playing???? Must be some teams I never heard of.

Now, that place you are considering ... I really hope you can work a deal on that new place. The indoor arena sounds GREAT for what you guys do and the price looks good too !!
Thanks ... not sure which is more nerve-wracking adopting or having them natural. At least there are no smelly diapers .
yeah, could be a wild ride alright. She's definately worth it though.

Yep ... still here . Got at least another week to go. Kind of bittersweet ... lots of aggrevating mechanical issues out here that are making the job stretch far too long ... but I sure am enjoying the challenge.
No-tell Motel ... been a while since I heard that one .
