A new year

So, we’ve finished all of our work, save for loading our bags and we’re simply waiting to go. The New Year celebrations weren’t too shabby. They had a local band play (and they did a damn good job) followed up by the DJ. We played some cards, drank our customary two beers, and laughed [...]

A holiday away from home

Well, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been away from home during a holiday. In fact, I’ve never been away from Jessica during Thanksgiving or Christmas. I’m sure that if I was home, I’d already be home from work trying to prep everything for the feast. Jessica and I would be working in [...]

I’ve been busy

I don’t know exactly how long I’ve been gone but it feels like it’s been a while. Sure, I could look at the calendar in the bottom left corner of my screen and do some simple math (my peripheral vision has betrayed me and it’s two weeks) but it makes the first two lines [...]

Let it snow?

It’s late October and the snow has started to fall. Luckily, the ground isn’t cold enough for any significant accumulation. The forecast could turn for the worst at any time. It’s expected to snow for the next week but there is a significant amount of rain mixed into the forecast. When it does start [...]

Here we go again

I’m off on the other side of the planet for the next few months. I’ll be gone just long enough to miss all of the major holidays. It’s a downfall of my occupation. It could be much much worse (army, marines, navy). If you visit often, you can expect an influx of new material. [...]

Almost done

The replacements are here and the pass-on has been completed. The new guy doesn’t have any of his worker bees yet but I can’t do anything about that. If all goes to plan – and there is no plan – I’ll be home within the next 14 days. Isn’t that an overly broad swath [...]

The cassette tape effect

In the first of many instances of dating myself, I’m using a metaphor for cassette tapes as my post title. What in the world is he going to be talking about? Read on intrepid explorer of the internet. [...]

Stuck

A few days ago I left on another trip and to be the “fixer.” We did what we had to and I put some stuff on a pallet. We thought that we were going to get out today but it wasn’t meant to be. I’m stuck here for yet another day but at least [...]

The requisite gym update post

What would you do without the requisite gym update post? Probably continue through your life without skipping a beat – but, I feel the overwhelming need to write something new and the only thing on top of my head is my progress at the gym.

First off, I should have done a better [...]

I’ve uploaded some photos to Facebook. Some of you don’t have an account and others are random strangers that browse my website (and thus aren’t on my friends list). Click Here to view em.
