Although I should be saying Hangover Sunday.
Had a few beers last night while watching two of the movies in the ZAZ collection. At least, I guess 1 & 1/2 counts as a few. Since I don't drink nearly as much as I used to (maybe once a month, and that only recently), it hits me a lot harder than it used to.

They did not have the turkey breast tenderloins I like at HEB the other day. What they did have was called a "split turkey breast". I was leery, but figured "what the hell". I only bought one pack, though, since I don't know how it will turn out.
I hope this doesn't mean the store is done with the tenderloins. I really liked those.

Hopefully. I had a decent drive in, and the weather is nice.
On the other hand, we have an issue with one of the projects here at work. It's primarily due to the civil engineer, but I'm pretty sure at least one or two folk are hoping to blame me somehow. Granted, I did mess up a bit, in as much as I didn't specifically call out that one point in the model was underground. So the civil took some data from that point and put it in a drawing. In my defense, however, I also didn't call that point out as one of the support locations, because it isn't.

On another positive note, however, I got my shipment from Amazon yesterday evening. It was funny, because I randomly decided to look out the front door right as the Amazon delivery driver was walking up to the house.
So now I have my two new Marvel Conan omnibuses and a new (to me) book on Horizontal Directional Drilling.

The HDD book is one I'm particularly excited about. It doesn't just have information about the stress analysis and pull force calculations. It also has information on all the different equipment used (drill rigs, drill heads, etc), equipment layouts, bid documentation, permitting requirements, etc.
So it's really an all-encompassing book. Even better, the website we use for our HDD calculations uses this book as one of their main references. It's the reason I bought it to begin with.

We'll see.
Yesterday was super busy and frustrating at work. Then it got a little better at the scout meeting when I did three Boards of Review. That was followed up by a final bit of annoyance when we got home from the meeting only run back over to the church where the boy had left his phone. Finally, I slept poorly.
This morning, I got going pretty smoothly. Also had a decent drive in to work. If things go well in the office, that'd be nice.

Hopefully. Yesterday ended on an amicable note between me and the universe. So that already puts today off to a good start.
Although, I was woken up 5 minutes early by the dog barking her head off at the front door. There was a car out front that was pulling off by the time I got there. Turns out they were delivering some dog food.
Oh, the irony.

The drive to the office was....adequate. I caught two of those really annoying lights they've put in at the entrances to subdivisions (except mine, of course). That was made up by me making several lights I normally catch, then being first in line at the really annoying light just up from the interstate. The rest was pretty decent, and somewhat well-timed.

I'm actually in the office this morning. We're going on a pipe mill visit, and I'm riding with my coworker(s?) to the place. It's up near College Station, so will take us about an hour and half one way. It means we probably won't get back to the office until around or after it's time for me to go home, but I don't mind.
I am re-watching seasons one and two of Bosch: Legacy before I watch season three.

Yesterday's trip the pipe mill was really cool. The place is one of the more modern mill in the country. I'd seen pipe forming in video before, but seeing it in person was so much more interesting.
I think everyone should visit a place like that. It might help them be better informed when it comes to realizing just how much goes in to providing them the many modern conveniences they enjoy. Some people need that.
