Nothing wrong with being regular.
It's irregularity you gotta watch out for.

There's a pinhole leak in a cold water line for a shower, so I need to take down an overhead, a false bulkhead, weld up some temporary I beams, then rig of an oxy-acetyline torch burn out a steel bulkhead, braze up the leak, then weld the steel bulkhead back in, remove the I beams, then replace the false bulkhead, then put the overhead back.

That sounds like HT work. Were you an HT?

Many years ago, like when everyone called Debby Harry Blondie, on a merchant ship it is not that specialized, most of the black gang could do the same work.

I haven't been a commercial fisherman for many years, like since Mariah Carey was popular, the shower is fixed, tomorrow I just need to put the bulkheads back, everyone on board has a private stateroom and head.

Slow sunday,

day 4 of a 3 week holiday. Nothing planned yet and the weather is shit.

Woke up early, fixed the kids with diapers, bottles of milk and a cartoon, arranged breakfast for me and the wife. Now everybody is dispersed around the house doing whatever.

I'm hanging around my office, doing some reading, listening to classic rock radio and just openend beer #7.
Tonight probably Chinese takeout and then football (soccer for our American brethren) on tv.

Woke lat and got the bike out to ride to a buddy's then ride to an actual live music event. Problem was the bike wouldn't start. I'm shit for keeping it on a battery tender over the winters and after 2 usch winters thew battery took a shit.

Went and got a battery and figured since the plans were fucked I'd give a go fittring my new saddle bag and seat. Turns out the saddle bag I bought won't fit the current bag bracket. Shit.

Got shit to grill and drink and said fuck it to bike repair and refit for the weekend.

Yup, totally true; F1 is actually getting boring with all the excitement taken out.
My soccer team is Ajax, doing great in the national league but average on European level..Dutch soccer had better days

Logged about 400 miles driving on Saturday. Finally reached my destination, then made with thirsty haste to the clubhouse near my cabin. The special was prime rib sandwich with choice of fries, onion rings or baked potato. Ordered 4 Long Island Tea with dinner and, quite remarkably, the bill came to only $40 and some change (plus tip, of course). Tacked on a Jameson double for dessert and sat out on the patio for a smoke in the sun and the breeze off the lake watching drunk golfers make their drives for the 9th hole.

Worked most of Sunday installing garage doors on a 60 x 40’ pole building, which didn’t really seem like work given the endless supply of beer and ham sandwiches. Then did the "lather, rinse, repeat" at the clubhouse with however many Makers lemonades I ended up drinking.

For whatever reason, my stomach hasn’t been fucking with me lately and I seem fairly resilient to hangovers. Going to push my luck again tonight at the bar. Will give a full damage report tomorrow.
