45 min elliptical machine

PM:
75 min watering the gardens in the heat! It might have been intense working out, it was exercise.

Work was work. The one engineer is going to be in for a fun surprise. We will finish his work and he will not be able to connect his devices. Why you ask? over a week ago we mentioned he needed RJ-45 GBIC modules for his equipment. He ignored us. Today I busted him with Where is the answers to the questions I asked last week? his reply, we are not using fiber. I never asked about fiber so I don’t know where that came from, but the the end result is he will need to go see for himself. FUNNY!

Here is the weekend wrap up.

We had fun out visiting with my folks. there was work we needed to do but we still got in a good hike. We checked out Millbrook village and then hiked a trail up to a mostly dried pond. The frogs were going crazy at the pond and we were able to smile the whole time loving the face we were in the great outdoors.

AM:

PM:
Haz-mat cleanup at my folks. Oil tanks leaked and we spent hours cleaning t up. crouching, bending twisting and shoveling. It sucked, but we needed to do it.

Day 3 of What the Fuck were the engineers thinking? So I am offsite again. I replace all the patch cords and move the fiber connection to different house pairs. Still no worky. I asked questions by email and got no response back. I took my GOV guy to ask a question to get a response. Gov guy directs them to put a “tiger team” together to resolve this since I have done all I could for them. At one point an outside engineer (not with the dummy company on site) made some suggestions for me to Ping different servers to see if I can see it from the inside of the firewall. Sounds great guy, but I am a cabling guy. The company paid to bring this online needs to F*cking engineers on site working this instead of blaming the cabling. IT IS NOT THE CABLING! I saw the project manager while I was trying to get a late lunch. I gave him the look. the look worked, plus I told him they need to have people onsite working an onsite problem. I am amazed this company has not been booted from the GOV site. This is ridiculous. I cant wait to see what tomorrow will bring.

We had a scary incident tonight. There was a plane with jet engines roaring was too low in our neighborhood. I went outside and did neighbors to the left and right of us looking and expecting to see a plane crash. One neighbor said it looked like the Blue Angels doing a low flyover. Then we hear a truck backing up in front of our house, two guys pull open a manhole and start doing some work. They were checking out the sewer pipes or something to that effect. Wife called the police on them after calling the county to verify that no work was scheduled tonight. Something is strange!

Today was a NORMAL workout! I was able to do it without pain and discomfort! YES! After my workout I went to take a 1 hour nap. That turned into a 2.5 hour nap. I needed it. I was running on empty and it felt great to recharge.

Today was the neighbor’s pool party. We had fun. Good food with neighbors and friends. I played cornhole as part of a team and we lost a 3 game challenge. I dragged my team down with not scoring enough. Oh well, it was a game and we had fun.
