Saturday Night

Well, I got to go flying today after about a month. Did pretty good. We flew to Lafayette, then to Eunice, and back to base practicing some instrument procedures. It took about 1.5 hours. We went in the morning and got back about noon. On the way home I got a call for an oil spill in Lake Charles. Dan was out at Citgo working with them and the Coast Guard on a large spill that happened Monday. The cleanup is still ongoing. I got home about 1:30 PM and was just beat. I probably didn't sleep good Friday night so I was pretty worn out. I slept 'till 8:30 PM just now and thought I'd better get up and get some things done in the house. Need to go to grocery store. I did get some work done on the patio Friday evening. Stuffed some screen wire mesh into the water collectors to keep the leaves from compacting themselves into the water troughs on the top surface. Cleaning those troughs out with a water hose will just about drown me with water 'cause I have to stand underneath the access places to apply the water! But they are all cleaned out now. So I move on to getting other things done. May get to fly Sunday evening. Then go on call again Monday morning. I know Dan needs some time off 'cause he has been out at Citgo for a whole week. At least all my paperwork at the office is done and the office straightened up real good. Tom
