Wednesday - night
So, Biden is now facing formal impeachment investigation.  It simply means they can force the people they want to question to show up.  It will also force the White House to give up information they are obstructing.  I don't know why anyone would have a problem with this impeachment inquiry, Trump was impeached twice on ridiculous, bogus and sham nonsense. This is actual criminal activity, allegedly anyway, that occurred with officials from China, Ukraine, Russia and allegedly other nations.  

Hunter showed up to an inquiry that he was subpoenaed to testify in, gave a statement to the press and then left without going into the building.  Calls for contempt charges. 
And a bunch of other stuff in the news that only slightly interested me, I'm more interested in the Israel war and that has been shifted well down in priority or even coverage. Weird.

As for today and yesterday.  Well, it took 3-1/2 hours to offload yesterday and the other driver also spent that much time offloading today. So we've taken it to the head honcho over there, it's obvious the line is clogged and needs attention.  We don't want to spend that much time unloading.  I don't care about the detention pay, it isn't that much and definitely not worth sitting there for that long.

Today, loading, it took them almost 4 hours to load the truck. That is also ridiculous.  It's not the plant, it's a particular operator who really should find another line of work. Other operators take far less time than him. He always make excuses about how he has to transfer liquid from one tank to another - the others do as well. He always has an excuse, it gets old.  I flatly asked him today why it was taking so long and that was his rather lame excuse, he's given it several times now.  

There is nothing we can do about that, it is what it is.  I was there almost 4 hours. Messed up my plans for the day after I was going to get back to the property and start wiring up outlets for the new cameras.  I gave up on that idea getting back to the yard at almost 4;00 pm.  

It was chilly out today and it never warmed up. The sun hid behind the clouds and never peeked out from behind them.  

Whatever the case, we did end up taking the boys to the church Christmas party. I'm actually about to head over there and get them. A 2 hour affair, they were blaring loud music in the auditorium, which I didn't know they had services for kids in there since they have their own, rather large, room.  Then they were to go outside and play and then inside to that room for more playtime and pizza.  Hopefully they enjoyed themselves.

And oh yes, they did. I went into their giant playroom/auditorium and couldn't find either one.  There is a giant set of those pipes you crawl through on one side and then a sort of tunnel that goes from one side of the room to the other - approximately 15 feet up in the air and then more play stuff up there on the other side. It's huge.  I finally had them call for them, the oldest showed up the youngest did not.
Found out they separate them by grades so the youngest was in a different room altogether.  

That's it, end of night and going to bed soon even tho it's only 8:20 pm.  I went to bed early last night as well and slept pretty well.  I am running this sleep app all night long - it listens to you.  It gives a report of your sleeping patterns, snoring and potential for sleep apnea.  Some night it's been mild snoring and no risk of sleep apnea, 2 nights ago it went way up on the sleep apnea scale but then decreased last night.

It says my room is noisy, lol. It's the fan on the window ac unit, I run that thing 24 hours a day.  I have to have it to sleep, there are far too many noises in this house at night that will wake me up, the biggest is 3 cats wandering around doing what cats do.  Drowns out noise of cars/trucks going up the road and just allows me to sleep better. If I were to turn that thing off, I would just lay there awake.  I might eventually fall asleep, but it would be short-lived.  So, it can tell me whatever it wants about that, that's not something that's going to change.  

At least I don't snore all night long lol.  It'll give me a summary of averages after it does it's thing enough nights.  
Keto - not in ketosis yet, or if I was, I'm not now.  Funny because I'm definitely not eating carbs.  I had finally weighed myself in the 230's range and now down to 219.  It showed 216 a few days ago but that was short lived. At least I'm no longer gaining any weight - fat.  

 Friday late-morning Typical morning when there is no work.  It was, I should say, until the new guy called.  "There's nothing wron...
