What Cheered You Up Today?

[fubar57]

Left the house at 0700, temp. -32°C and arrived home at 1245, temp -20°C which means I can fly. Averaged 110kph/68mph. Passed two loaded logging trucks and two cars travelling at a painfully slow 80kph/50mph. I stopped for a photo, snow and ice.

​

What's the cheered up part? I'm finally getting the missus to shop like me, in and out. Shopping time is less than driving time

More cheer. Should be on the camp bus in one hour but on the last day of my tour last week I was really funned out so I took this tour off. This is day seven of 21 off. On the minus side, I have four more appointment in PG. during this time. Getting harder to be motivated now when I could have retired last year

I'd had enough of Boss Abuse about 5 months before I turned 70!!!!!!

I always say the best job I ever took was retirement. Nearly 20 years on and I'm still enjoying it.

Received the sweetest little birthday card from my fourth graders. Brought a tear to my eye.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That is lovely and a Very Happy Birthday to you Jesse, outside of the card I hope the rest of your day was just as good.

It had its parts.

Today I managed to go for my standard 2.5 mile run for the first time in over a month. My left big toe has an ingrown toenail and while the doc operated on it and fixed the problem a few months back, last month it started hurting again. I had to quit running and when it felt better I only managed to go 2 miles a few times. But I ran on Friday and then on Sunday, with a little pain, skipped running on Tuesday and did yard work instead and ran today the full 2.5 miles with no pain.

Now, if I just don't stub my toe again.....

George:

Going to work being a survival situation sounds alien to me.

When I first moved here I got a job in a sawmill hand piling lumber in an open shed. All of November and the all of the following February were -40, day and night. Two years later they modernized the system and this required closing up the shed and putting heaters in to keep everything warm

Progress!

Here in Florida an awful lot of work gets done in open hangars and other similarly ventilated facilities. For that matter, that was true in Oklahoma as well. The summer afternoon thunderstorms are often considered to be welcome relief from the heat.

We had a 48,000 sq ft fully air conditioned hangar in Louisiana.

We had a 60,000 sq ft fully air conditioned hangar in Louisiana.

I don't know of any fully air conditioned hangars around here, although the Northrop Grumman facility in Melbourne probably is. There there is the Vehicle Assembly Building on KSC, which is air conditioned, although I am not sure if you would call it "fully."

This was honestly the finest maintenance hangar I have ever seen. I was no longer working as a mechanic though at that point.

I should have added.....once it got modernized and toasty warm, we all got laid off
