For What It’s Worth
I jumped on my bicycle and headed down the street towards
work early this morning before I realized that the ground looked wet. Looking at my weather apps, one says 10%
chance of rain and the other says 40% chance.
That is a big difference if you ask me. I think I tend to believe the
40% chance more than the 10% chance, since it is already wet out. I guess we
need the rain to help deter the fire season coming later in the year. It felt good to ride in the cool & crisp early
morning air today. A great workout and a great way to start the day!
Well, we have another ride along passenger for our road trip
next year possibly. My good buddy Robert
has shown some interest in riding along with us as we travel these back roads of
America. Robert and I have been camping
together in the past (Yosemite) and we both get along well with each other, so
he is a good candidate for sharing part of this adventure. Plus he has been
retired now for about 15 months and he could use some time on the road away
from home and he knows that we will be in no hurry. It will cut into his daily golf game, but it
is good to get away from the golf game for a while, and all those lies he
tells. His golf nickname should be changed to Captain Mulligan… Heh heh J
I had a friend who apparently must have seen some recent
photo of me online, maybe on Facebook, and she said that I kinda looked like
Alec Baldwin. That was the first time I
ever heard that one before. I have heard from others before that I looked like
Jimmy Johnson (football coach not NASCAR driver), “The Dude” in the film The Big Lebowski (aka Jeff Daniels), one
of the Bridges brothers (Jeff or Beau, I forget), and once someone told me I
looked like some character actor who’s name I have long forgotten. I myself never thought any of that, but when
more than one person says that, then maybe so. What the heck do I know anyway,
right?
Peeps now a days use so many abbreviations that it is hard
to keep up. It is like when you work on
an aerospace project and everyone uses acronyms and initials for all the
components. The new people are so lost
at the beginning. I remember many years
ago we had a new Colonel in charge and peeps in this big meeting were using so
many acronyms and initials for this and that. I recognized that lost look on
his face and I went quickly back to my office and got him a cheat sheet with
most of that stuff on it. He looked at me and said thank you so much! I just smiled and nodded my head. I scored a big one for the kid that day! J
I liked all my Quality Assurance jobs so much more than I do
working in the Logistics field. I was
really good at those QA jobs and as far as Logistics goes, I do okay I
guess. That does not mean that I like
the job, it is more like toleration really.
I would not want to do this for any more years than I already have. If I
was still in QA, I still might want to continue to work. Not so much with the Logistics field. I never
wanted to do this as a career, but I basically had no choice to tell you the
truth. I’ll be glad when it is all over, as you can probably tell by now. J
