Field work

I'll be out in the field most of this week. I refuse to even try to take a shot in a Sani-can.

Memorial Day

It's the day set aside to honor those who have served. Do that.

Spring growth

The lawn is in full spring mode. You can almost hear it growing. And it pisses me off because I have to keep the damn thing mowed.

Back in the office

Amazing how much crap can pile up in a week off.

Home again

Back to the cool, rainy northwest. And it's nice.

Luau

I think the luau we went to has worked its way through. Generally, if your poop floats, there's to much fat in your diet; and there was lots of fat in that meal.  Today though, the only way that pig would have been better was if it had bacon.

Still in paradise

We went to a luau last evening. I ate good food, had nice conversation, and was stimulated by many gyrating hips.

Time zones

Here I am, thousands of miles from home, wide awake and ready to get started. Problem is, it's only 6 AM here.  By the time I get acclimated to the local time it will be time to go home. Could be worse, could be raining.

Summer breeze

Got one here!  Beach later.

Traveling again

Well, soon.  Headed for the tropics in two days.

My favorite app

I think my favorite app on my Android phone is Tricorder. It's a functioning Star Trek tricorder!  While it can't help you find dilithium, it will scan the local gravitational field, magnetic field, cell signal, WiFi signal, and acoustic spectrum; all the time making cool 60's sci-fi noises.

Kilt 2 on order

My second Utilikilt is on order and should be here by Monday. This one is a basil Survival model.

Back in the office

And I'm even putting the training to use!

Long week

I was in training most of last week in the Land of Auto Flushers.   My brain has been turned to mush.

Happy Easter

Resurrection of Christ or bunnies and chicks? Or is it a celebration of Spring coopted by Christians?

It's Friday

Yeah, it's only been a three-day week for me, but I'm tired.

OK Mother Nature

Enough is enough.  Wet snow on the ground this morning.

Back to work

Four working days off, how the fuck did I accumulate all this shit in my inbox?

Hungover

Good wedding, great reception. That is all.

In Gilbert Arizona

Waiting for breakfast to be delivered to the room.  Long travel day yesterday; pick up tux and rehearsal today.

Traveling

I'll be traveling the next week or so. Posting may be more sporadic than usual.

Bristol Chart and the Blustery Day

It's a lovely day outside. Contrary to the normal Seattle gloom and drizzle, it's *raining* and a bit windy. I like it.

Working today

That is all

Friday!

Unfortunately, it's not payday and I am working this weekend. But it's still Friday.

Getting ready for a trip

Mrs Bristol and I are going to visit AZ next weekend for a friend's wedding. I enjoy travel alone; with wife, not so much.

I'm one of those people who arrive at the airport 3 hours before my flight, get through security, grab a coffee and newspaper and relax until it's time to board. She, on the other hand, leaves home with just enough time to get to the airport and rush to the gate as they are boarding; it doesn't help that she needs a wheelchair for the long treks. We pack differently, I have a carry on packed two days in advance; she's still throwing too much stuff into a huge suitcase as we're heading out the door.

She's also a nervous flier, where I am the exact opposite. So she's also doped up on antianxiety meds; a little turbulence and she's a basket case. I'm looking forward to being there, but not to getting there.

Snow?

Yes, it's snowing right now.

Vegas

I need a Vegas break.  I have three vacations scheduled this year, but none to Vegas.  Going to Reno in August, but the "Biggest Little City in the West" just doesn't have the same vibe.
