    In high school we called it “drinking in the woods.” After high school we called it “War.” So yeah, anyhow, I have been camping a few times in my life besides that. There used to be some nice spots around here to go chill out for a few days. I’ve not gone in ages, but…

    Usually I feel most productive when I am doing real work, aka: manual labor. Administratively, I’m not gonna lie, I am pretty damned good. But as far as feeling like I have accomplished something, it’s when I’m on the line exerting myself a bit. There’s also the added bonus of getting to help the guys…

    The downside to an easy job. Sometimes it can be a bit TOO easy 😆 I suppose it’s better than everything going to Hell in a handcart, but damn, it can get boooooring. I finished all my training stuff for the moment and everything is going smoothly. Good problem to have, but it also makes…

    Taking a moment to be thankful that it’s not another prompt about risk. It’s not the most scintillating, but at least it’s different. So, let’s get down to it, shall we? Music Yes, I love music. Playing it, listening to it, discussing it. Particularly 80s rock/metal and all things Van Halen. Infuckingdeed. 🤘 Workouts Weights,…

    This one’s a piece of cake. I’d have started looking for a job the second I had that feeling in my gut that things were going to go terribly awry. If I had just listened to my instincts and started looking to get the hell out of Dodge, I might not have been sick and…

    It’s not usually the big stuff that gets me nervous. It’s usually silly little stuff like making a post or going to a party where I don’t know anyone. It used to be stuff like job interviews, etc., but those don’t bother me much at all anymore. Maybe because I know my skill set now…
