Ah crap, the woman is calling me for chores. She's on a DIY kick.
Just when this was getting good...

This song makes me want to play a PaliI love Johnny! My woman's mom is always trying to get me to listen to country. I always tell her in kind, "If it ain't Johnny, it ain't country."
She makes faces back at me.

not bad for a kid who was born in 85And I raise you this.Nostalgic. You got an ace there.
Age has no bearing on taste. :)
Work took forever today.
I spent (basically) the entire work day in a small concrete box working a computer that controlled a device in a bigger concrete box and got to watch it on camera.
The work day took forever. Forunately I got to come out to go to the restroom and eat lunch. Then...back in the box.
Now it is the weekend. :-)
You don't have to press a button every 108 minutes, do you?
I don't think I could handle that kind of pressure.
I push buttons again and again...
For m e it is like...
Note: I completed this for six instruments today...
Mandatory step by step verbatim compliance... :-(
Read step in procedure:
1. Consult chart
2. Enter a number into the computer
3. Click on a "go" button with the mouse
4. Choose correct one of three options on the drag down "source" menu
5. click on an "expose" button
Read next step in procedure:
Select correct "line" on table to match exposure
Read next step in procedure:
Wait (at least) one minute
Read next step in procedure
1. Click on "verify" button
2. Choose the "yes" option
3. wait for verification to occur...
4. click on the "close" button.
Read next step in procedure
Record reading
Read next step in procedure
Step says to repeat all the previous for the next six exposures...
That is the first part...
Then put in second instrument and do the whole step by step procedure, reading each step from the book, all over.
While second instrument is being worked using the procedure, a second copy of the same procedure is opened and used to work part 2 on the first instrument. The step by step verbatim compliance is accomplished for a series of operational checks.
After the last instrument has completed its first part of the procedure the first instrument will begin its third part: CALIBRATION. This is similar to the first part except that instead of being performed for 7 readings (once and six readings) it has two "sensitivity" settings that are calculated from teo readings and "stored", followed by eight readings as above (except that the readings are noted instead of recorded and then after all are noted they are recorded if within tolerance...), and then followed by one more reading with the instrument on its own battery power (instead of being hooked into the control computer) and the reading taken as follows:
1. Consult chart
2. Enter a number into the computer
3. Click on a "go" button with the mouse
4. Choose correct one of three options on a drag down source menu
5. click on an "expose" button
6. wait at least one minute
7 manually record 10 readings approximately 10 seconds apart and average the result
8 Record if within tolerance.
Note: sometimes one of the eight readings in the calibration step are out of tolerance and the calibratin steps must be stopped and reperformed from the beginning. Further out of tolerance readings means stop and repair before reperforming the calibration step...
Note: While the the third step, calibration, is being done on the first instrument, the last instrument to go through the first step will have its second step completed...
This doubling of tasks to efficiently make use of "dead time" allows a high production rate. today, I performed 9.6 standardized hours (time allotted for gear) of calibration and 3.7 hours worth of repairs.
I spent practically the whole day either in the little concrete box control room (sans windows) or in the long concrete box gamma range room, also sans windows...
It is tedious and repetitive. I left a lot out on the proper format (there is only one correct way...) for recording values and filling out paper work...
After 50+ minutes of Lindsey Buckingham, trepanning is sounding like a better idea.<Pops in from the Thread Celestial>
I've got you covered.
Great. Now I'm gonna end up weirder than Walter Bishop on Fringe.
Edit: I think I'm going to turn in. G'night all. :)
Edit2: Hey, I bumped it out with this
Good choice. :)
Have a good night!
hey 'luck how about this I know it is by the Highwayman but the best I could find
mine?
Ha! I guess not...

It's OK. I don't feel too old...until I remember that my son graduates from high school in two years.

I only feel old when I talk with my wife.... she never understands what I'm talking about.
It may need to buff first. :/
Or HerIt may need to buff first. :/
She's too kyoot to take seriously. :)
Does anyone find it sad that I shed not one tear at my fathers death, even though I loved him dearly, but I bawled my eyes out when Cash died?
No, I don't think it is sad. Death of a close family member, specially your Father is a very complex thing. Sometimes there is too much going on to reach that point of crying. Things like remembering the past, measuring yourself against the standard to which you were held (which might include not crying), trying to be strong for other family members such as your Mother, etc. I can see an overload or any number of other reasons preventing it.
I hope you feel well about it now...I don't know what time frame it occurred...
How did I just lose a bunch of post?
Pink ate them. :)
