Ever notice how many many bad things can simply become one big funny thing. Like this morning; I wake up to an unpleasant caucauphony. Had it been just the needle gun, it would have been annoying. Had it been the needle gun and the bow thruster it would have been infuriating. But the needle gun, metal grinder, bow thruster, and fog horn ( Read more... )

So, I worked a 13 hour day yesterday playing geologist collecting about 8 bottom grabs(that's not nearly as dirty as it sounds). I eventually got to bed around 0230. Suffice to say I was not the freshest most self-aware of flowers early this morning. At roughly 0700 I hear a rather loud anxious korean voice coming into my bedroom with the echoey ( Read more... )

In light of the recent heat wave, I just wanted to proverbially jut out my tounge, stick my thumbs in my ears and wiggle my fingers tauntingly whilst informing you that it's been an immaculate 72 degrees all week with beautifull calm blue-green waters and whisps of fog dancing across velvety green mountain tops. With a warm sun giving way to the ( Read more... )

It's become rather apparent I'm not getting all of the message traffic through det131sp at navo.navy.mil and seeing as I forgot my CAC I can't get to the casey.c.taylor acct. This journal has become pretty much the only line of communication that still works ( Read more... )

Our trip has been flying by. The ship is in good repair, the food is awesome, and the seas are calm. Just a couple political issues and all not fit for LJ. Suffice to say it's been a leisurely couple days. Worst thing to happen was when the bottom grabber refused to fire. After futzing with it for about ten minutes, I let the crew grab some ( Read more... )

Well, left the CAC in my car. To reach me on the boat send emails to det131sp at navo.navy.mil. Sailing tomorrow morning.

Dont worry about a check, you've furinshed more than enough Scotch to cover it. The trip is going well so far, I just woke up from a decent nap. It took almost exactly 28 hrs to get here, but it was relatively comfortable. Got upgraded to economy plus, had a spare seat next to me for the 11 hr flight and I slept through a majority of the bus ( Read more... )

In a pleasant turn of events, Jack talked to the belly dancers and instead of two students and an owner/teacher we are getting both owners of the crescent Lotus Dance Studio and one of their students. Kryss and Amae are coming down together, I can not begin to stress how talented both of these women are! ...Fire ...on their heads! I also found ( Read more... )

Well, I've scheduled a small going away party for this Friday, which has spiraled seriously out of control. Allison Moreland, Scott Bruner, and I are joining our going away party forces into one big bizarre evening. It was supposed to be a small backyard shrimp boil, but then we got a band and well they needed a place to play, so we got a bar. ( Read more... )
