The subject of my boycott of scotch has died. The convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi is no longer among the living. That's a good thing. He'll be doing time now in hell after blowing up a Pan-Am flight that killed two hundred and seventy people.
He was released by the Scottish government on compassionate grounds when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, which prompted worldwide scorn. He arrived back to a hero's welcome in Libya to live out his days there while the people he killed remained dead and the families still missed their loved ones.
Yeah well, down the hatch.

Work Day At The Theatre
Thing 2 and I will be headed down to the Theatre at nine this morning to help clean out the prop room. Lots of furniture needs to go, it's broken, or will never be used again.
My honey will be representing in the Walk for a Cure this morning with her team from work! After that she'll join us for some clean up time. I know it'll go faster if we get more people but a lot of people are busy this morning and this weekend.
Regardless I'll be there, I know Tech Guy will be there and Thing 2 and My Baby will be there:) We can do big jobs!

Obama Notes
Last night was Third Thursday, today is payday, tomorrow the weekend starts! It's a busy time! Next week school lets out though and summer starts for the Things.
Work continues for us adults though.
In political news, in 1991, long before any of the "birthers" knew there was such a person as Barack Obama, his literary agent had Barack Obama listed as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
This was on the website until 2007 when Senator Obama decided to make his run for the White House. Then they changed it. So there are two possibilities here:
1. Obama lied to sell books and make himself more of an international man then before he had designs on the White House.
2. Obama lied now about his place of origin to run for the White House and launched the greatest case of fraud on the country and American people of all time.
It's one of the two. I'd love to see the media actually pursue this as they did everything that even hinted at a scandal with President Bush but they won't. It's probably already being swept under the rug now as I type this.
However politically speaking Romney should stay away from this issue, he's leading in the polls now and after the debates he'll gain ground when he makes Obama defend his record. Obama has been in office for three and a half years, his first and only term is nearly finished. There's been a TON of smoke around this issue, perhaps there might be a spark of truth after all.

Tech Refresher And Training
Last night our soon to be moving Tech Guy gave us a refrehser course on the technical aspects of the Theatre. He and his family will be moving away to Houston to pursue new opportunities, we wish them the very best! He has done a ton for the Theatre and can't be replaced, it's that simple. He's one of a kind for sure!
With that said the Theatre will need to recruit new tech people for the upcoming seasons. A handful of people now run the shows and that will wear us all very thin soon. We need new blood to come in and learn the ropes of putting on a show tech wise. That will lighten the load off of everyone.
It's an important job and often overlooked by our Theatre friends, well until they need someone or two people up in the booth and can't find anyone. So I'd encourage all of the directors in our Theatre, all of the regular actors in our Theatre, and anyone that might be interested to contact the Theatre and get a bit of training on how to set up the lights and sound and run them during for a show. Otherwise that stage might be blacked out at the worst moment when you can't find anyone and don't know how to run it yourself.

Back To Normal
My incredibly talented daughter has won the part of The Fiddler in the summer musical! I'm a proud daddy! I know my love is also very proud of her! She texted me the cast list while I was snoozing away and I thrilled for her!
After yesterday's diversion into a long awaited game, today will be returning to it's normally scheduled life. Nothing fancy, I'll be picking up the work in the shop where I left off Monday as I'm sure I know exactly what is there to do now. I also figure I know no one worked the parts I was working on.
We don't have enough people. The new guy has to have surgery now, tomorrow I think. He muscle was torn from the elbow and he'll be out for weeks if not months.
I don't believe the contract will yield anymore people either, we'll just be where we are until they figure out we are understaffed and it bites them at the wrong time and in front of the wrong people. I also believe that the contract will be quickly settled, I don't expect anything resembling a raise for the next three years. The country is broke, we've been spent into a black hole and we probably won't be able to get our way back out of it unless reasonable politicians agree on true spending cuts and that's not likely to happen!
Negotiations should go very smoothly this time, no one wants a repeat of the last contract. No one. The heads involved in the last round for the company have been fired and replaced. Soon they will swap proposals and we'll see how far apart both sides are to start. I don't think it'll be far at all. I'd vote for a contract extension right now if they extended our current contract we have. I'm thrilled with it! It's stable and fair. I don't see that happening though.

Diablo Day
The original plan was to start playing Diablo at midnight last night at launch. However launch turn out being at two a.m. our time. So plan B was quickly implemented. Go to bed early and get up early and start the quests!
Abostang agreed and thus I headed off to bed to get up at four in the morning to experience the long awaited Diablo 3! We were able to get in twenty levels before the Blizzard servers were taken down for emergency maintenance.
Thus ended my questing day. Abostanf is probably still playing away!
It's a well polished game, practically idiot proof in fact. It would be cool to have a bit more of a learning curve to it but playability and accessibility have always been the cornerstones of the Diablo series. It's simplicity and it's just fun!
I enjoyed it quite a bit and I'm looking forward to leveling up and taking out evil once again!

Diablo 3 Launches Tonight
At ten o'clock our time D3, a game that's been in development for many, many years finally gets its launch date. Abostang and I will be there at the launch online and start our quest to defeat evil. I'm off work tomorrow but I also have quite a few errands to run during the day. After that I'll get a few hours in before returning to work Wednesday and resume our normal working schedule.
Diablo was one of the very first online games you could enjoy on the free service Battlenet. It was designed to match people up with other people and adventure together, a real breakthrough at the time when most people had a 33.6 modem or less. The 56K was on the horizon but costly when you could find it locally.
Anything faster was a dream.
It was a true milestone in the history of gaming and lots of companies took notice as people started to populate the randomly generated dungeons. Diablo was unique and now D3 has made sales history by being the most pre-ordered game of all time.
In the world of the gamer this is big and I'm starting it tonight!

Nice Day
The Things and I took my mom out for an early mothers day lunch. After that it's been fairly quiet and slow.
Thing 2 is house managing the show tonight and I'm going to watch game seven of the Nuggets and Lakers to see who the Thunder will face Monday night. I've got some laundry going and not much else.
I miss my honey.

Fail Wars: Viking Shores, Provoked
So the fail warriors have decided to invade the Faroe Islands on their most popular holiday, St. Olaf's Day. They intentionally drove a mini van with graphic images on it of the last grind or whale kill on it's side. They played whale and dolphin sounds to try and drown out the festivities but that was quickly shut down.
They were intentionally provoking the peaceful people who were trying to enjoy their holiday and had tried to be civil with the Sea Sheterrorists. The festival goers were nonplussed and engaged with the terrorists until the police shut down the area and kindly asked them to move out of the area.
One of the funnier clips was of a patron peeing on the minivan. Then we go to the home shots of the festival where the citizens open up their homes to each other and serve food. They play instruments and sing for each other and it goes well into the night. Everyone seems to really enjoy each other and it's a very fun and peaceful celebration until the Bridgette Bardot docks in the harbor to stir things up.
Again they use the tactic of provoking these friendly people by putting themselves in the middle of things. By docking at the harbor that is the home of this massive celebration they ask for trouble. By having the camera crews with them they are hoping for an incident. A small group of cars assembled on the dock to shout at the terrorists. That's about as far as it went until a man boarded the vessel, the idiot that said he didn't want to engage was about two thirds the size of the man who boarded the ship. He laughably said it was hard to restrain himself from physical confrontation.
He would get curb stomped if he engaged this viking descendent in fisticuffs. All in all a lot of noise and little action. The fail warriors continue next week with the finale. They will try to stop a ancient tradition of people who feed themselves from the hunt and harvest. Then no doubt they'll go back to their ships and smoke a bale of pot while slapping each other on the back on being intolerant of other cultures.

And The Weekend
Will be here after today's work is done! All in all it was a busy week and then a slow week, today will again be fairly slow. That's the way of our cycle at work, too busy to keep up and then it just stops until the next wave of inspections start and they start to tear down more jets. Then we can't keep up.
Not sure what the weekend will bring but I'm sure we'll get through it and carry on into the next week:) This is what is called the daily grind.
We got Thing 1 fixed up with a car. My brother sold us his Saturn Ion for well under book value. The bank had the papers ready to sign before I arrived to sign them! That's how fast it went! Very smoothly! I like that!

The Box
The supervisor that started the boxes that have hurt our night shifter and will likely hurt many other people is named Joe. Joe isn't the most popular guy where I work, he's not the brightest guy either. He's pretty stubborn actually.
He bugs all of the mechanics about things that really don't matter much. That irritates them a lot. We've bugged him about these boxes and how heavy and dangerous they are but he won't change his mind. So now that one has actually injured a man we (well I, with the help of a few other guys and one manager) decided to fix the first box with a decal.
Joe's Box of Death with a thumbs up beside it.
He'll freak out. He'll be pretty upset and the first thing he'll want done is have a letter of reprimand written on your humble writer. This has been countered by the manager that loves the box decal, told him that they were dangerous, and said he'd handle that if it should be attempted.
Today should be interesting!

Man Down
Well we broke the new guy the other night. Yep, he didn't ask for assistance when lifting a huge steel box and tore the muscles away from his elbow in his arm. He will likely be out now for a long time, he goes in for a MRI Friday and after that they will probably schedule surgery unless they try rehab. I doubt rehab would work but what do I know? I only would have asked the guy in the office for help lifting a hundred pound steel box that's four feet long and two feet high!
Sheesh, now we are down another man and they won't replace him. One had several surgeries including a liver transplant, another just had his second shoulder surgery after the first surgery failed, and now the new guy is down. That leaves us with six people with one of those on nights. Five on days and one on nights to keep up with ten docks of aircraft, ground power, flight line, and base shops.
Sigh...we keep busy and I'd rather be down men than be out on the street looking for work. It's all about perspective.

Busy
Talk about a busy day! I was swamped yesterday at work, all day. Parts piled up while I worked priority stuff and that literally took me the whole shift.
Today will be similar, I already know what's there and I can guess what has been done and what hasn't.
Contract negotiations open up the last week of this month. Our contract expires on June first, doesn't seem like three years since the worst two weeks of my life but it has been. Everyone at work still remembers how much striking sucked and I doubt they will vote that way again. I know I won't unless it's a must have to situation like cutting my pay in half and even then I am not sure I'd vote that way.
Neither side wants that to happen again and both will do their best to insure it doesn't happen. I'll go on the record right now and say if they renewed our current contract I'd vote for it as fast as I could check the box.

And Away We Go
I'm not sure what our schedule is this week but it went from day to day last week! Thing 2 had to write out her schedule for us. This week I just don't know right now. I think most of the events are over with right now for the year.
I don't think anyone has a show to do but I do think Thing 2 is going to audition for Fiddler on the Roof this week as the fiddler. The Date has a busy week at work, I don't even know her schedule but I know how busy she's been and this week will be no different!
I know what I have at work this week and it will be moderately busy. Did lots of yard work and work on the pool yesterday. I'm pretty sore actually. We might actually have a pool going this hot summer!

Busy Day
Cleaned the garage with my honey and Thing 2. We went a long way to getting the pool cleaned up too.
Now after grilling burgers we are chilling and getting the evening going!
Bought my first ticket to a show last night, we went to see Don't Drink the Water on stage at the Gaslight. Woody Allen written and well done by cast and crew! Lots of laughs!

Avengers And Thing 2
Yesterday Thing 2 had her violin solo. Beautiful was a understatement! I teared up fairly quickly as she began and some very beautiful noises came fr the antique instrument. The Date and my mom were speechless as Thing 2 began. The Date was understandably nervous but that quickly went away as the bow began to dance on the strings!
She received a superior rating! I'm a very proud daddy!
Last night I found myself all alone for the evening. The Date had gone to take care of her dad for the evening, Thing 1 was at work, and Thing 2 was spending the night with an orchestra friend.
So since the satellite receiver hadn't arrived yet I decided to call Abostang and take in a late movie! The Avengers fit the bill perfectly, late movie, in 3D, and a movie I'd been looking forward to.
It was good, maybe one of the best comic book movies. The standard heroes had to fight amongst each other before learning how to work together storyline was followed. The sequel should be better since all of that is out of the way now and the villain is Thanos. A very powerful character who fell in love with the mistress death. Nearly godlike in his powers, he should really give the Avengers a run for their money in a couple of years.
Was looking forward to the trailer for Dark Knight Rises but it wasn't to be.
I'm so-so on that movie, it could be better than the previews show. Time will tell.

Last Day!
Well of this week it's the last day, we still have a whole string of weeks to get through until, well whatever. So I guess there really isn't a last last day, just a last day of this week long cycle where we have to go to work before getting two days off.
Anyway, Thing 2 has her solo this morning with Weezy's mom as her accompaniment! She does so much for all of the kids, teens, and especially the theatre! She deserves a community award, she volunteers for so much and offers her time freely.
Slight chance of rain later on today. Go figure, it's Tristate. That's the way it happens!

Winding Down
Today will be pretty busy, yesterday was at work. Today will be the same. It happens when you're the only one in the shop.
Well a couple of days ago the satellite receiver went out, another one is being shipped to us so last night I pulled out a real gem of a movie. The Majestic, a little known movie that I'm positive I've blogged about before, years ago.
It's about a screenwriter in the communist witch era that has an accident and loses his memory. He winds up in a small town and is mistaken for one of their war heroes who disappeared in WWII. This is a movie about honor, patriotism, and friendly people in a small town. There isn't one bad frame in this movie which was directed by Frank Darabont of Shawshank Redemption and The Walking Dead fame.
It's not surprising that you've probably never heard of it but it's a special movie, if Frank Capra were alive today and making movies, he would have made this movie. If you can find it I'd strongly suggest you check it out, it's worth your time:)

All By Myself
That's the song that'll be ringing in my head today at work. The Lead has gone to a union sponsored conference in the city today and tomorrow. So I'll handle everything for two days. It's an unspoken law that the phone will ring three times more when one of us is in the shop by ourselves.
Not sure why it works like that but it does. I'm sure there is an inspector lurking in the wings waiting to pounce on me as well. We'll see, hopefully things will go smoothly but they rarely do when it's one person. The new guy has gone to nights. He asked how long he'd be there, I told him until he retires. The guy with eighteen years of seniority has been on nights for sixteen years and will be there until he retires. He said he won't might nights, yeah, until you work it for a while then you'll mind nights.
The Date has been feeling very under the weather, last night she had a pretty hot fever going on. Before I went to bed she was cooler as she had taken some ibuprofen and it was working. Hopefully she'll be better today:)
Thing 2 is practicing for the Tristate festival, she gave us a list last night of every place she has to be from Thursday and into the weekend. It's a lot! She'll do great though:) Love them all:)

Amazing
Towns north of us were grazed or hit by tornadoes last night while south of us got hammered by severe weather, us? Well we remained safe from the dangerous weather once again! Yes we get flooded from time to time but not badly, we get freezing weather and ice storms, but we are usually safe as can be from tornadoes.
Everyone who lives here feels the same way, we've all sat in front of the TV watching Gary England protect people from dangerous storms. We've all gone outside to watch the skies and see what's being talked about, I dare say that everyone in Oklahoma is at minimum an amateur meteorologist in some form or fashion.
Yes we are safe again but this year the storms keep rolling in, last year we were well on our way to a record drought and triple digit temperatures. This year the drought has ended and we're getting plenty of rain to keep things green and growing!
