Quite a day with a few ups and downs... Literally. So... We have today's progress with new equipment installation: Zero. We have had lots of remedial work and frustrations... And everything is piling up onto Thursday... At least two of the long running processes are running smoothly. However, there be many metaphorical worms to untangle yet... May involve buckets of 'em... Here's gaining fortitude for what the morning brings! (Oh... And I've suffered the first fish 'n' chips on account of there being nothing else. One of the group (not I yet) suffered a bad stomach a mere one hour later!...) Hey ho!

Good start but already behind schedule for the day... At least we can get some good progress made! What is that saying about best laid plans?? All under a sunless grey-white overcast. And it looks like one of the team has a few days of a bad stomach to suffer... In a healthy contrast, I'm on my healthy lunch! All good green-yellow colourful fun!

Hazy sunshine for a calm day, weatherwise at least. So, we got a big delivery exactly to schedule early in the morning. We now need to shift a few gears to do something with it! And that has to be TODAY... Meanwhile, there's a bit of a head scratcher still as to how best to fit things in place... All good fun?

Carlos - is this yours by any chance? No. I wish it was. Redwood City has determined that it's illegal to allow people to live on the San Francisco Bay, so they have evicted all of the houseboats. Other cities don't agree. That house was en route to Sausalito which embraces houseboats.  ID: 2134752 · |

Under a bright overcast. The sunshine must be up there somewhere. And... Gaining access to get the job done is almost like an Indiana Jones archaeological 'adventure'... We're only two days behind where we'd like to be. Meanwhile, a manager has asked why we can't "just do it"... There is no comprehension there that 30+ years have intervened and there's a lot of 'hubris' to undo and greatly improve upon... New ways can be a very healthy Good New Way... (However, doubt we'll get enough time for the sort of training needed to be given for good operations... Will 'good enough' be good enough?...) All good fun.

Oh, it's sunny and clear. at 7 in the morning it's already 57f and high should reach 65f. ID: 2134783 · |

Your job sounds interesting Carlos. How much fieldwork does it entail?

Still lost in the field here...! I guess it's kinda 'interesting'... (For multiple puntastic meanings of 'interesting'...) See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) ID: 2134807 · |

Your job sounds interesting Carlos. How much fieldwork does it entail? Sounds like that is up to me. I supervise a staff of subject matter experts, like foresters, and biologists, I need a cultural archeologist. They are my eyes in the field. So I don't expect a lot. But I also will be responsible for outreach. One of the grants is to engage youth. So I will speak at schools and events encouraging underserved communities to participate and seek work in the fields. ID: 2134817 · |

What plan? They do. They have been working to get a pawn elected as president of the US who will hand over half of Ukraine along with US military secrets. ID: 2134840 · |
