Work and Day Care

First off... Work. So, I went to the in-briefing yesterday, and since my DS2 Package isn't in, yet, I had to go home till it comes in. (Today) and then I go take my UA, and then, I'm good. Just a formality. I get it. Base is pretty particular and kind of a stickler about rules. No biggy. So, my first day was only about 3 hours long. Just enough to get a lot of the briefings out of the way and get my info for the contractor ID. Actually, it gives me about 2 more days to get some shit squared away and together. I'm hoping to head over to Heather's work tomorrow and Thurs. to get a refresher on LVS's and get some good knowledge before I start. Plus, it gives me time to get the Tool List squared away. BUT... finally a job I can commute to with the motorcycle. How nice is that? Gas could be 10 bucks a gallon... I could care less. Just be 30 bucks to fill up. That's 1/3 of what I pay NOW for the truck. Damn truck has a swelling thirsty 30 gallon tank. Dammit. Well, I'd still care. But, regardless... No better feeling that getting on the bike and riding.

Day Care. First day for Mason with Daycare. Best part... It's about 1000 feet from our house. NOT BAD! Plus, he loves his Day Care lady. (Marina, who happens to live next door to "Fish," a guy that I was in Oki and Mt. Fuji with. Weird how shit works out. Plus, he's on my bowling team.) Hadyen and Maisy... This is their first day doing the "Youth Center" thing. The youth Center is about 1500 feet from the house, as the crow flies. This place is AMAZING!! High speed, low drag! Heather and I love this place. Plus, they have great activities for the kids to do, and they help them with their homework starting at 4:00. They get breakfast, PM snacks, and TONS of Play Time with their buddies. Plus, the bus takes them to school from there, and takes them to the Center after school. Awesome. Only a Tad Spendy, but WELL worth it.

So, ALL the kids were super stoked to get their day started. 0530, and we were ALL UP!! out the door by 0630. Done by 0700 (paper work and B.S. to do at each place) Overall... great.



Later, skaters...
