Thursday - late night

Work was relatively easy besides it taking an hour and 40 minutes to offload the tanker, that's just too long, but whatever. I don't know why, the product wasn't that cold and the PSI was good.  The only thing I can think of is the drain outlet is clogged in there.  Next washout I'm going to make sure they clear that thing out. I should be done offloading closer to an hour.  

I didn't do anything at the park, it was hot outside and I wasn't feeling it.  So said, too bad.  It's not that "it can wait", it's just that I don't sleep well some nights or many and last night I went to bed way too late for having to get up at 5:20 am. That alarm went off this morning and I was in the middle of a very deep sleep.  I really didn't feel that good considering. 

I got home and did some laundry, cleaned out the dishwasher, made sandwiches and cooked spaghetti before I got to sit down and relax for a while.  

I've been watching the Kirk footage literally all day long.  I'm fairly well burned out on it.  I want to see them find the killer and I thought perhaps they would have already done so, but they have a lot of pics and videos of who they obviously believe is the perpetrator and considering the videos, yeah, he's probably the dude that killed Kirk.  

I don't know what to think now. He's obviously pretty young.  A college student?  Disgruntled?  Hates the truth?  

Today was also the remembrance of 9/11 but more importantly to me, it was my mom's birthday : )

I sent her a pretty fancy flower arrangement considering it's her 90th.  How many people make it that far? I apologized for not making it there, she said no matter, she wasn't really feeling too good for company anyway.   I added a box of chocolates with the flowers, I had no idea she absolutely loves chocolate.  I don't remember that about her, but she was all over that stuff.  

I didn't do too much thinking about 9/11 today tho, besides the video montage Fox News had put together.  It was a bunch of different videos, probably most from cell phones, they had collected and strung out together along the time line of the event.  Some of that footage I had never seen before. There's a lot of footage of 9/11 and I have spent countless hours over the years watching that stuff.  

The Charlie Kirk assassination and the FBI manhunt for the killer kind of took over all of that.  

I'm going to bed quick here. It's 11:00 pm and I want to be able to sleep in a little but I also want to get over to the park tomorrow and get some stuff done. If I feel motivated enough, I will dig out some of the line going to the meter stand to find out what size it is, measure it and finally get the line.  I was going to get the mini ex tomorrow, but I'm not ready for it. I was using the box blade the other day, just looks like I need several more hours of that out there.  

It's looking pretty good tho. Anyway, I need to get that done and then start marking out lots and then figure out where I want the trenches to go. I doubt I will get all of that done tomorrow.  I have Saturday off too, not sure if I want to spend all of Saturday out there as well?  

I've got 7:00 am load on Sunday. I asked for it and after 2 days, they finally got it approved.  It means getting up at 3:00 am, being at the washout by around 5:30 and hopefully at the plant by 7.  I want to make it to church on Sunday and I'm tired of this job making that not happen on several Sundays.  It will be a long day I suppose, but after I get done with work there is no real pressure. Just go home, get the kids, go to church, go out to eat, go home and do ....nothing lol.

With that? I'm going to bed.
