Starting a new diet routine... watched a video where this guy lost 75lbs, just by juicing... not the steroid type juicing, I mean pulverized veggies and fruit.
Hopefully, when I'm done, I'll be half the man I used to be!!

Back to Work
You know.... you'd think that someone would pick up the slack while you were away on company business.
But NOOOOO.... my world stood perfectly still whilst I was away... well, not completely still. I was able to remotely log on to my computer at work, at night after the training classes, whilst others were sitting down at the bar, enjoying adult beverages and each others company.
I became intimate with my company issued laptop and the hotel login screen.
I really know how to party... eh?

Gone for a Week
I only went to Atlanta... for training for the company I work for. I learned things I never wanted to learn, but learn them I did. It will look good on my review for next year if nothing else.
While I was gone, the Space shuttle separated from the International Space Station (ISS), for the very last time. It left orbit after a day and landed back at not only it's former home, but it's future home, as it will be on display at the Kennedy Space Center after it has been stripped of anything technical (secret stuff). After that, it will be placed on a static display, where it will most likely be climbed all over by kids with sticky fingers, re-hydrated, dehydrated ice cream will be dripped all over it, chewing gum stuck on the floor, bird shit all over the windows.... not a fitting end for a great Space Ship.
Hopefully they will put it in a building, where it can be preserved and studied by future Astronauts.
OK NASA... you're up.
What is the new amazing piece of space hardware that will woo the crowd and once again leave them breathlessly awestruck?
Who knows, but what would really impress me would be this. Go back to the moon NASA. I think there's stuff there to be discovered. While you're there, how about building a space ship factory, that could launch rockets from the moon on a sled.... it might not cost 600 billion dollars for every launch...
Now THAT would impress me...

A Part of Me Died
Yesterday at approximately 11:27 am, a part of me died, and in a few days, I will lose a friend. Yesterday marked the end of an era. An era that as Americans and humans, we should be very proud. STS-135, and the Space Shuttle Atlantis left for the International Space Station on its 33rd and final trip to orbit, and ended a 30 year program, producing technology that has changed the world, and brought us flying high into the 21st century.
On the morning of April 12, 1981, Robert Crippen and John Young piloted the Columbia into the next century on STS-1. I was very fortunate to have been there for the first launch. I couldn't help but be there for the final launch. I could go on and on, but watch the video below.
The Closeout Crew sends its farewell and thanks after helping the final space shuttle crew into their seats before liftoff.
Guys, I couldn't have said it better. God Speed Atlantis... return home safely.

Random Crap
Pocket Change Definition:
1. When politicians take money from YOUR pocket, and put it in theirs.
The grass is never truly greener on the other side... unless you are a horse.
According to Jack Bauer, there are only 2 options to save the world;
mastering the art of whispering and yelling at the same time, at someone who knows where the bomb is, or getting shot in the kneecap. You can tell how much Jack Bauer likes you by how far above your kneecap he shoots you.
Jack Bauer could get off the Lost island in 24 hours.
I hate snakes. I shoot first, and determine later if it's poisonous. Of course, with their head blown to smithereens, it pretty much becomes a moot point.
People get stuck in their comfort zone.
Life begins OUTSIDE of your comfort zone.
Dumb Masses...
Some days, I think about giving up country living and moving into an apartment, so when things break, I could just call a maintenance man. Then I stop and think about what it was like when I used to live in an apartment...
Pass me the pipe wrench, I have plumbing to repair.
Family reunions... I got nothing... other than avoid them at all cost.
We spend the first 24 months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk, and the next 24 years telling them to shut up and sit down... no wonder they are so screwed up.
A friend gave their son an etch-a-sketch for Christmas last year... he picked it up, looked at it, wanted to know where the on/off switch was. "No switch." "Where do you put in the batteries?" "No batteries." "WOW, this must be the latest thing in electronics."
Yeah kid... shut up and sit down.
I used to own a 1972, chocolate brown, Triumph TR6. It was the most amazing car I've ever owned. It could take a 90 degree turn at 50 mph and never bark the tires. One day I'd like to own another one.
I ride a 90ci V-twin motorcycle. It too can make a 90 degree turn at 50 mph... but with someone else driving it, who has good insurance, and deep pockets, and a million years experience...
My Gastroenterologist is one of the nicest guys, most sophisticated, and one of if not the kindest man I have ever met. Whenever I have an appointment, he always walks in the room, shakes my hand, and always treats me like I'm the most important thing in his life at that moment... a rare thing these days. I think I have a man crush on him.
