First off, I must mention Memorial Day, and I hope we all remember why we have this three-day weekend. To all veterans and military members, thank you. The words can never be enough.
Another month goes by. We’ve had an extraordinarily cold May. Thinking we had finally reached some warm weather, I put out the seedlings I had so carefully nurtured through Feb, March and April, (they were threatening to overrun my kitchen, which is small enough to begin with) and it froze the very next day. We had snow on the mountains and in Reno just a few days ago. Weird weather, I blame the earthquakes.
Work has been going very well, I have been arriving early to practice for my CDL skills and pre trip tests. I am hoping to be prepared within a week or two. The driving part I am not so much worried about, and actually inspecting a vehicle I’m not concerned with, but remembering to inspect properly and in the correct order while someone watches has me a bit nervous. Oh well, we’ll see how it goes.
In the writing sphere, I got another gig, although I’m not sure I can produce the 3-4 articles a week they would prefer. We’ll see how that goes. Pay per click based, hopefully I can develop a readership after I submit a bit more content. It is a new thing to try to create a journalistic voice, very different from the writing to which I am accustomed.
I haven’t had a bit of time for blacksmithing, or spinning, or practicing with my sling. I haven’t even been able to go out shooting since I got glasses. Oh, I didn’t mention that. I now have corrective lenses to compensate for my 20/100, 20/40 vision… on the upside, when I can get out there with my 9mm and my rifle, I should be able to hit the bulls eye more often, being able to see it instead of aiming for the middle of the blurry spot.
Well, I’ll try to update a bit more frequently, but no promises.
Laterz!
