Got the day off today, friends coming on a cruise ship. It's sunny here in West Bay, but rainy and thundery in town.

That's it
I had a good weekend, went diving Sunday, my final dive before I send my rebreather electronics off for repair. The LEDs in the Heads Up Display have quit working. I looked inside and it's not the fiber optics, it's the diodes, so I gotta send it back. They already fixed it for this once.
I'm done with my outside broadcast, it only two hours, much less painful than anticipated.
The new dog is doing much better, after to not use the bathroom in the house, it took her a while to get me trained so that I knew when she wanted to go. Ditto just asks, he walks up, gives you the mind control stare, and talks. Sheba just comes up and puts her foot in your lap.
That's it for today

Next weeks posts
I guess nobody reads this anymore, I haven't had a comment in a long time. Hmmmph.
(Bring me some cheese. (to go with my whine)
today I have to re-align my BBC satellite dish, I think somebody bumped it with a car.
Monday, I have an outside broadcast that will probably last 10 or 11 hours.
Next Tuesday, a friend from the US is coming on a cruise ship.
I kind of have a bad attitude today.
But the good news is, IT'S FRIDAY!

Thursday
Got home Tuesday night, came to work yesterday, back at work today. I got a double workload. I am busy all the time. I have a long list of things to do, but my boss always wants me to stop what I'm doing and do something else she comes up with, which means I never get anything done. For example, Working on one problem, I'm walking to get a tool from my toolbox , on the way, I get stopped for some other emergency. Before I get the new emergency resolved, an even more important something needs to be done, ad infinitum. Then later I go past the first thing I was doing, and say "OH yeah!", and then go back to get the tool I set out to get in the beginning, on the way, I get stopped for and emergency. . . . Lately I've been trying to set my own priorities, and and put my foot down. I come across as kind of mean or angry, - "I'll do it when I get done with THIS!"
I understand how things work better than I understand how people work.
Oh yeah, because my contract got renewed, and SOMEONE didn't turn in the paperwork, I didn't get paid yesterday (direct deposit). So I had to wait for a check, which I got so late that I didn't have time to go to the bank.. So this morning I'm going to the bank, work be damned! Actually two banks, first I have to cash the check, then deposit it at my bank, or else it takes three days to clear. I'll be gone most of the morning.

I make Dreams Come True!
Yesterday, I was in the yard, getting a little R&R in, (Thats Raking Rocks) and the OI Girl came out all decked out in my coveralls and said she wanted to test out the weed whacker. She said she always wanted to run a weed whacker. SO I got it started and gave her the safety glasses and put her to it! She had fun. Glad I could help her out! Now if I can just get her to keep whackin the weeds!
Right now I'm in Clearwater Florida, in my hotel room. Getting ready to go get some food and maybe hang by the pool. Taco Bell, here I come!

This Sunday I'm going to Clearwater Florida. Monday I'm going to see Radio Caymans new van before it is shipped down here. It is our custom built remote broadcast van.
Then I'm coming back on Tuesday, and they ship us the van.
Here's a picture I took this morning. It's the OI Girls crystal hanging in the window. I think I can get some more cooler effects with more light, but I still think it's cool.

That Dang Cold
The OI Girl woke up with a bad sore throat this morning. She got the same thing that took me out for two days last week. I still have a cough from it. It is really bad. She's going to the doctor straight away, her co-worker had it, I had it, and she knows it's bad. I got the best results from gargling with salt water

Happy Anniversary!
Today is the OI Girls and my Third Anniversary! Three Years! Before The OI Girl, my longest relationship was about two and a half years. I've been with The OI Girl longer than I was married.

Porno Pictures
Back at work, getting ready to go do my time sheets, one of my least favorite worktime activities. Yesterday, the OI Girl and I didn't do a thing, just laid around the house, watched some movies. Saturday I weed whacked and made a big ol pile of rocks in the corner of the yard. At least a pickup truck load sized pile. This morning at home, I was looking at my stats by clicking on my counter about where everyone comes from, what search queries brought people to my blog, and other cool stuff. SO here's a picture to increase my hits. Lets see what happens!

Weed Whackin'
Did you ever see the Movie Terminator 2? When Arnold is up there in the second or third floor of that building with a Gatling gun? He was panning back and forth with fire spurting, the machine gun rumbling, mowing down cops and blowing up police cars?
That was me yesterday, with a weed whacker, panning back and forth, choppin' em down left and right. Also, the weed whacker sounds exactly like The Terminators gatling gun too. Just like Batmans motorcycle is exactly like my scooter.
Today I have to pick up rocks, a lot of rocks. After I rake them in a pile, and finish weed whacking.

That's my secret for having
1001 posts,
I keep saying the same thing over and over.
Have a good weekend!

Sick Days
I am back at work after two sick days. I probably coulda come to work, but I read an article about coming in sick, and that your co-workers don't appreciate it, because they feel that they may get sick. SO far I feel like nobody even missed me. Maybe I should have stayed off a couple more days!
Here's a pic of two dawgs in a wagon.

First Time Beach
This weekend we took Sheba to the beach for the first time in her life. After her initial reluctance, she loved it. Now she tries to jump in the car every time she walks by.

Well, it's Friday! Fridays I hope it's nice and slow, and I hope I'll be able to take it easy, but usually everyone tries to pull a bunch of crap and Fridays are usually the most hectic day of the week.
Maybe, by typing this, it'll change my luck!

No post
I'm just here to say I won't be posting today. I cant think of anything.
Last night was the Astronomical SOciety meeting and it was very clear, one of the best nights ever.
I need my own telescope.
Today I feel kind of cranky and I wish I didn't have to work.
