Things I learned at officer's meetings and other tales...

Well, this am I get to work (sore and tired) and read that thomasdrevel won the Novice Tourney last night! Woot! Go Tom!!! We told him to bring home that banner since it was in household colors!...I know what will be flying in our encampment at southern...snerk.

Got home after another grueling day at the office. Seriously, I'd like to get to doing my job before 3pm versus being off on emergency fire fighting tasks..kthxbai. So, I left work a bit before 5pm, got home to an empty house (the boys were out shopping for supplies for the shop) and I started in on dinner. I had an idea for what sounded good and after the last two nights of not eating dinner cause I didn't like what I or mel made I was determined to make something tasty. I defrosted some ground pork and mixed in herbs de provenance, a whisked egg and lots of ginger and grilled up in a big old cast iron pan the pork burgers. Then I heated up some trader joe's carrot and ginger soup...though that turned out to be a bit one dimensional in flavor profile. It was nice but not as thick as I was hoping I'm pretty sure they made it from carrot juice versus carrot pulp...but it was nice addition to the pork burgers on nice thick buns with cheese. I hadn't had any carbs all day so I felt it was okay...not the right timing but I'll cope.

The officer's meeting was lots of fun. We were all being a squirly bunch. Things I learned: Spys should send in letters of intent by throwing stars; our children's minister likes to send kids home hyped up on sugar; Optimus Prime motivational posters are the bomb; certain hand movements make weavedancer blush and slide under the table. So very good night. Got home and worked on our November letter for the Tusker and then more on scroll text...its almost there...hopefully some advice today will make it all good.

So, I was gonna bike today after work and errands and I still might but we have a going away happy hour at Nimbus for Phil here at work. He's getting shipped off for the military for a year on the 25th...so, we shall see...if not mel and I have committed for 10+ miles tomorrow and I will maintain that all weekend too...though I need to look into getting tights since the mornings are getting colder and a light coat.

Dear Machining Houses...

If you send me in questions about my drawings it would be helpful 1) if you could actually spell, 2) could reference me what dimensions/views you are talking about and 3) used terminology understood by normal people. Kthxbai.

work sucks. At nimbus

Much better after some good comraderie

Went to nimbus after a tough week with the guys and to have a drink with Phil before he heads off to the sand box for a year. Gonna miss that guy.

Felt way better after a bit of bad for your food, 2 stouts, hanging with some of my favorite peeps and then getting a strawberry shake for dinner and coming home. Got home and we had a wonderful gift delivered from Catan and her sister. They made us a wonderful tablecloth with little ravens all over it and a nice basket that mel is gonna use for roving. It was so nice.
