Yorgun om. That’s Turkish for, “I’m tired.†Here’s the story:
Act I - Preramble
I had a long night. It all started with chilly wind, a few dust clouds, a bed, and a knock on the door. This knock woke me up around 0000 hrs and I stumbled to the door believing I had overslept the morning [...]
It was cold this morning. Below freezing actually. It’s been that cold for several days now. I’m ready for it to be 146 again.
When I went out to the truck this morning to start her up and head to the job site to start filling in those little boxes I told you about yesterday this [...]
So, I spent much of the day working in Excel. Wonderful program that.
El Jefe has tasked me with making sure our contractor keeps to the schedule. After walking the job I realized the vauge semblance of a schedule I had in my hand just wouldn’t do so I played in Excel and put together [...]
Boy has this week been busy. I’m tuckered out.

Dude, OMD-ites, I wish it would quit raining.

Well, it’s been one hectic week…er…three days. There has been so much going on that I haven’t even been able to check the old email. I did. I had two messages. That’s it. I lead a sad life.
Well my R&R dates are almost locked down. We’ll see if they get approved. [...]
Today was a big day. So big, in fact, that it might even amaze a few of you. I reached 700 days on the I-day counter. Seven Hundred, that’s a lot of days. To facilitate your conceptualizing that gargantuan number I have assembled a short list of things that equal 700 in some form or [...]
So my year counter clicked over one more year.

1 Virtual doggieOMD - to ease your worry and homesickness
2 Virtual crock pots of Potatoes and Carrots and, of course, Roast Beef
3 Virtual Restaurants - Chili’s and [...]
