Hola!! Como estas?

I survived day one of training. Forgot a couple of documents and am scrambling to get copies sent across the state. Going to be interesting. Thankfully the instructor's rather chill and is allowing me to continue regardless. Right now it feels like drinking from a fire hose. We'll see how it goes.

As L2 said, it is overwhelming, but chunk your knowledge and notes into manageable sizes.

You got this, brother!!

I've caught up (for the moment) on a Monday night. Today was my last day with the fam. We all go home tomorrow. Frankly, I'm ready. Almost two weeks has been a long time to be away. My little girl has been nearly perfect! The kids were so glad to see her; probably more than me!

Have a good Tuesday, everyone! ️

Sounds like you had a nice trip!

But it’s always great to sleep in your own bed! Safe travels!

 

[Wonderer67]

Wish I still lived there and could have shown you around too. I hope your friend took you to Matagorda to fish. Best speckled trout fishing I ever did was there. Sea anchor drifting over oyster beds.

I may go fishing maybe Wednesday or Thursday . Made friends w a neighbor in the rv park and he had a boatload of fishing poles for me to use.

Right now redfish and drum seem to be most prevalent. Good way to pass the day.

I’ll be like that guy OM showed, catching my b ass!

Morning MissK and Wonderer.

Cool spring means a good crop for the fruit trees.

Morning all

Indeed.


Off to oversee (and maybe to oppress) the workerbees . . . .

Sunset last night. To watch the sunrise, watch in reverse…

Think The Jetson's

I have and and there are electic flying quad copters now. Can you imagine what rush hour will look like.

 

[subdudeme13]

The power pack is no biggie... where the morning REALLY gets good, is the 10 man crew that we were supposed to haul to the platform arrived. Turns out, they're supposed to stay on the boat for the duration of the job (estimated 2 weeks)... no groceries were ordered, no cook was contracted...
Max capacity of my vessel is 16 people, it's maxed. Thus far, my Monday has been a full blown shitshow before the sun even came up....
But at least I didn't get struck by lightning!

Don't count the lightning out! Do those rigs get hit by lightning? I imagine they do and you have Ben Franklin's invention to protect them?

 

[subdudeme13]

Any of you gearheads like Roots blowers?
1 of 2 on each engine...View attachment 2517825

Who makes the engine?

 

[subdudeme13]

Maybe we'll have flying cars like the Jetsons!

I mentioned before there are flying electric quad copters that can carry two people now. They are open cockpit like the Wright brothers but there and there are no parking lots for them yet.

Can’t sleep. Ankles restless. Ghosts. Images of book pages burned to ash, blowing away in the wind.

 

[dkak001]

Morning all. It looks like the snow may have finally stopped! Yay!

Still not feeling well. Maybe my wife persisted long enough to finally give me the cold she had.

 

[Missk_2022]

Morning MissK and Wonderer.

Cool spring means a good crop for the fruit trees.

There are apple and peach farms very close to me

Orchards..yeah orchards

 

[Missk_2022]

Indeed.

Go get em tiger

I have a few times. I have distant relatives there.

Go to all of the usual touristy places. Tiergarten, brandenburg gate, reichstag. They’re all nearby. There’s patched up bullet holes all over the place in former East Berlin.

Berlin Wall is still in a few places. East side gallery and the wall museum. There’s a nice one near the flea market in Maurpark too. Flea market is pretty good - open Sundays only in memory serves.

There a ton of cool old buildings and museums to explore too in the central and east Berlin part. Nice old churches and the old East German tv tower.

U-bahn and s-bahn (subways) are cheap and fairly easy and intuitive. The zoo is amazing.

And then there’s this advertisement!

Wow! Thanks.......reminds me of a whorehouse I went to in Frankfurt. Love flea markets. Love the old churches, bet they are empty like the rest of Europe. I can ride the rails OK, might get a 5 day Eurail pass.

 

[drobert44]

Maybe try a Germany specific role call in "General" forum.

OK

Stay safe Lili so glad it has gone well!

Not quite... but in 3 weeks it will change

Thinking this but in shades of grey

I don't come in shades @Missk_2022 whatever made you say that?

A day fishing is never wasted... time I thought about that too... I will see what the weather is like next week
