I woke up (barely), went for the second day of training. Waited a few minutes in front of entrance because our cards are not yet opening doors. When we finally could enter the trainer of second group came and said we can go back to home because our trainer went with his pregnant wife to hospital at night because she might be giving birth early.
Now we have to wait until a call from work telling us either he is back and ready to continue training or another trainer was rescheduled to train us.
Pointless getting up at 4:50...

So, yesterday I go to make travel plans with my coworker for our trip to the platform. We're supposed to leave Sunday to be at the helipad in Houma early Monday morning. He shows me an email (which he received last week and forgot to forward to me) saying that our start date on the rig was pushed back to the 15th. I emailed my BP contact to confirm, and that guy tells me "no", our new dates are actually 19-22 January - nearly a full week after what we had been told for over a month now. At this rate, I may never have to go out to the rig.

I was slip-sliding around in the parking lot the other day and came to realize that I could very probably cross-country ski quite comfortably, even with my bad knee.
It's the best form of exercise there is - works out every muscle in the body when done correctly.
Okay, so I guess the ones moving the eyeballs around might not get that much exercise from it.
...or the tongue. But other than that most of them do.

I would like to try this without spending a ton of money.

There's always roller-skis. Personally the lack of breaks is turning me off them, though.

We're looking forward to record lows in a couple of days.
I have been trying to. My poor car does not like this weather.

Beware there is some hunter out there claiming to have shot a Bigfoot. He may come after your Yeti minions soon.

If she is cute, yes. Put that thing away though, you may put an eye out.

Is that better or worse than Badgers with acid reflux?

You know that may cause bowel issues?
