Sound off: What are you doing right now? Aside from the obvious being on here..

Reviewing files on applications to build works infringing on the Public right to navigate.

Wishing coffee break was happening now.

Bemoaning the fact that in a month from now when my friend retires, I will be the old fart of the office.....
 
I just dropped off a G-Wagon at Parc Jean Drapeau.  Visibility/recruiting at the Montreal Merengue festival.  It's surprising how many people in Montreal DON'T have G-Wagon qualifications!

Now, off to late lunch!!
 
Bribie Island, Queensland - Sunday, 0830H.

Still 'entertaining' my female houseguest from Boston :nod:

Meanwhile in a wintery tropical wonderland, it sunny, but windy and a frosty 6C this am. The cold southerly is blasting up all the way from Tasmania, over the Southern Alps in Vic and NSW and making its way all the way up here.

With no insulation, and no central heat it was a chilly 13C inside when we crawled out of a warm bed, manily hogged by two Siamese cats craving body warmth.

Breakfast was two hot cinnimon buns, smothered in melting butter! The last of these I had was at the Cinnibons at Camp Victory at BIAP in March 2007 the day we rotated out.

Just goning down to walk on the beach, overlooking the Coral Sea. No boardies - long pants and rugged up a bit. The seatemp is about 21C.


Regards,

OWDU.

No, I get that by direct mail, in a plain brown wrapper.  ;)

Actually, they wouldn't let my spouse pick up the marriage certificate I ordered from Vital Stats.  ::)  They also wouldn't redirect it to me here so they are sending a note to hold it in Kingston until next Friday.  I told them I need it for an appointment on the same day and it had better be there!
 
I am supposed to be working BUT I am preparing for my interview at 1300.

I'm also pondering/philosophizing about the turns and twists life can take you....an 18 year old kid from a farm in a Prairie province to a possible new position in a new unit as the Regional MWO.

Like I tell my troops at Minto "You have to know where you've been to know where you're going"

 
Eighteen-year-old farm kids make great soldiers. And then there is/was me to disprove the rule.
 
Lots of time thinking about how to start and grow a whole new life from scratch on absolutely every level at age 55 with progressive physical limits (including hands) including what kind of work I can now actually do and start ...  ??? Hmmmmm ... real challenging.

Other than that ... browsing the web and always learning something new every day about all sorts of things ... the net my way of staying connected to people and the outside world  ;D
