Monday

Is a day like any other day. You know, I kind of find it refreshing that I haven't been keeping up with this thing for MONTHS. Lets me know who's really reading this thing, and who really isn't.

Not that I REALLY care. I mean there's only a few people that can actually influence me one way or the other on any certain issues. Both are female. SO the rest of you.... oh well.

Anyway... Today has just been a really boring day. Not much to speak of and not much to brag about. Seems I'm speaking of it quite a bit right now though. Cold hard facts.... Today sucked. Yesterday however.... GREAT! I finished putting the Body Mount Bushings on the Jeep. Holy shit.... 14 years in the East Coast weather will do a number on STEEL. Oh well, nothing an air drill, cobalt bits, and an angle grinder couldn't take care of... Oh... and some Safety Glasses. Safety IS NO ACCIDENT!

If you didn't already know.. Safety is the OXYMORON in my life. I'm employed by the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to be the representative for the Marine Corps at Camp Lejeune to be the SAFETY/ENVIRONMENTAL and OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH inspector. SO, no shit, I have to actually inspect people and shops to make sure they're compliant with OSHA and EPA. Any one that really knows me, knows I've been doing this job for a few years now and been in this field since 1997. (Second job as a Marine even before I met Heather.) YEs, I did have a life even before I met a Heuer. One spent being an Environmentalist and avid supporter of GREEN issues (primarily in Oregon and parts of Okinawa) Japan has a great GREEN way of thinking. Anyway.... off my high horse and pedestal and soap box, and rant. Whatever you wanna call it, who ever is reading this.

So, the oxymoron is that I'm the big SAFETY NAZI at work, but when I come home and work on my own shit.. I'm rarely seen with safety glasses or any PPE that would be suitable for the job at hand. That was until I saw a guy get a CHUNK, not a SHARD, or a SLIVER, or a SHAVING, but a CHUNK of Aluminum lodged in his eye. Yeah... aluminum. FUN STUFF. SO I'm a safety glass guy now. Even at home. Even.... AT.... HOME!





JUST A SIDE NOTE... Dream job.... working for the Timber industry as the Environmental Engineer / Chemist to help find the balance between EARTH and MACHINE. Long story, and you wouldn't understand unless you are from where I'm from.

But some of you might... and good for you...

I got a million dollar idea too....


It's...
