Status:Assisting a remote team operate a system in Central America.
Plans:Stand my watch, eat breakfast and go to bed.
Narrative:Slept on site for about 4 hours. Broken sleep, but i feel much better having been here for 16 hours. Radar is running good so it has been an easy shift. I slept about 4 hours but I forgot my pillow that would have made me much more comfortable.
Another issue we ran into is when the Guard folks want to sleep when the site personnel are sleeping. Normally it is not an issue with two people on site, only one is sleeping.
I am struggling with my circle of influence. I feel like my time at work and at home with the Wife is 80% of my daily life. Add church activities and children i usually reach my limit for the day. I am not really good at breaking the momentum of something i like to do for something I need to do. I am looking forward to having the time to get closer to my extended family and visit them occasionally.
I took a pictures at night of the antenna that is sitting on an stacked 20′ ISO container.
First sunrise on shift at the remote site.
It is pretty cool to come down here to one of these remote sites. It’s on us whatever happens during our shift.
Back in the hotel with THREE cell phones, Local, Company and my personal phone. Had a good sized breakfast and I am headed for the shower to scrub off the 24 last hours. Coffee is always been good down here, today was no exception.
Today is Sunday and I forgot to let the guys know that they needed to put out the cones this weekend and next. Oops!
Apparently I’ve left my charging cord for my heart monitor in Atlanta and it seems i didn’t take the spare. (Which I bought just for this trip. ) I’ve got about 2 nights of charge in the one I have if I need it.
The housekeeper appreciated my tip and made me a swan.
Went to the store and got some Rotisserie Chicken and other supplies for tomorrow. We walked across the street and picked up a couple of Burger King Whoppers for dinner. (Hey I had Salmon the night before.) It’s true that last nights dinner was a couple of peanut butter crackers and two cans of corn.
Back in the hotel for the evening, Whopper was really good, the Fry’s were so, so. But still it was a familiar taste from home.
Sipp’n on a can of beer updating my blog for the day. I only had one “cold one” in the fridge, it is happy hour at the bar.
Tomorrow:Back on shift for Day 2 at the GBR
