Signed Off for Another Year


I just got home from recurrent training in Salt Lake City.  This is a 3 day event once a year that is nerve-racking because your job depends on it.  It went very smoothly due to a great Captain Simulator partner.  It’s basically 1 day of ground training and 2 days on Simulator training and evaluation.  After we passed we went to the locale bar to have a celebration drink.  Unfortunately the kitchen was closed but they offered chips and salsa.  They were really good chips and salsa.  I was so tiered that I went straight to sleep and didn’t even remember to brush my teeth.  This morning after brushing I spit into the sink and it was red.  I was like WTF.  It was the red food coloring the chips.  That is discussing.  We don’t need food coloring in anything especially tortilla chips.

I got home early and although I was exhausted I managed to go to the gym and then go out and read by the pool for a bit.  Here is a review of the NEW Muscle Milk Cake Batter ready to drink recovery drink.

I am now relaxing on the couch watching the Travel channel and looking forward to some beverages and hanging out with friends tonight.


Here comes My Bro


Well it official.  My brother is going to move back out to Arizona.  Thank you Sedona for making his decision even easier.  My brother came out to visit first Portland and then Phoenix.  After coming out in near perfect conditions and reunited with Me and his other friends he has decided to come back out to the Grand Canyon State.  

Being based at home has allowed my workouts to be a lot more consistent.  I love getting off of work and getting to workout before I come home.  Commuting to work in a different city really does lower your quality of life.  I am not sure why people do it for their whole careers.  

Took the dogs for a walk after my workout and I think that, although he is far from cured, Sampson is doing better with seeing other dogs.  I am not sure he is ready to walk face to face on a small sidewalk but I do feel that he is making progress.  

I believe that it is time for some relaxation and some products from New Belgium Brewery.
