I did not wear my brace at the gym today or at work and I felt good. Work was crazy again, same knucklehead needing a project worked on, I tested the problem and demonstrated it was not our issue, good luck with that buddy.

I got my fingerprints done today for my future non-resident pistol license. I still need to get passport photos and some stuff notarized, but I am making progress.

I was busy today! I gave my coworker a keychain multi-tool for Christmas, and on Christmas he used it to cut open a package to free the toy his son wanted to play with. He managed to slice his left hand open and needed to get 6 or 7 stitches to close the wound and his hand is in a splint to prevent him moving and pulling the stitches open. The 2 of us are a motley crew right now.

This was Christmas weekend and we spent it with my family. It was great seeing mom and Dad and even got the opportunity to see Aunts, and cousins as well.

On the way home we stopped at Cabelas just as they were opening. The line was formed outside ready to go. It was cool to see that. So many people were trying to buy guns (at Cabelas and every other gun dealer) the state run instant background check system crashed causing a delay for all gun purchases in Pennsylvania.

We spent an hour in the store and made it out without buying anything. That was unexpected. It is nice to be home with our kitties, they missed us. My parent’s cats are great substitutes, but nothing beats out time with Pandora and India.

I was solo at work and decided to push it today and finish a project. I worked into my normal lunch tome to do it, but it was not an issue today since it is Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas everyone!

AM:
34:30 2 miles on treadmill with the boot!

Work was crazy as usual. We did what we could and steered the ship as best we could but the knuckleheads are wandering around adrift. Tomorrow I am solo so it should be an interesting day.

Today was a fairly ordinary day. Sure work had the usual incompetent players playing but hey that is business as usual. My state of Virginia did something extremely crappy today. The Attorney general for the state decided to cancel reciprocity agreements with 25 states concerning conceal carry. This means my VA license is going to not be accepted in as many states as it is today. So now I am going to need to get a nonresident license from another state and keep my VA one just to keep legal when we travel. “Safety” was the buzzword for this action. Well guess what? all the states do background checks so this is another one of those Democrat power moves to keep we the people unarmed and make it a pain in the butt to have to have multiple licenses (and the expenses that go with it). Why don’t they ever want to go after the criminals? Why always punish the law abiding citizens. In the same day it was announced the telephone taxes levied on prisoner pay phones is going to be done away with. That will be 2.6 million dollars less in collected taxes that will now need to come from somewhere else to benefit those that have already committed crimes against society. See that? help the criminal hurt the citizen.

AM:
37 minutes for 2 miles on treadmill

I worked offsite again today. I finished the task I needed to do so that was good. Work looks busy these next few days. I hope we do all we need to do.

AM:

Shopping, shopping then more shopping. The Wrapping and wrapping. It was a full day am I do not even know where all the time went.

No real exercise today. We went and saw the new StarWars movie and liked it. It was like running into old friends and catching up with them. We also went to see the Festival of lights in Manassas VA. All in all a pretty good day.

Work was fun again, I was offsite again. I did not finish all I had hoped I would so I will be going back for another day Monday. Oh well, at least I am getting paid.
