Howdy, Shaun. How's it going?

 

It is going well Craig. I am adjusting to my temporary schedule at work. Should be going to day shift full time in the next few weeks.

 

How are you doing Craig?

 

Hanging loose. One of my online courses, well ALL of them, is kicking my a$$ already. I have a meeting tomorrow with the instructor to discuss my issues and disabilities. Classes started on 8/24, and our meeting was supposed to be today, but she had to cancel and reschedule for tomorrow.

We're starting Week 3 and I'm already at a solid "F" in this class, Managing Clinical Classifications. I have appointments with multiple agencies on-campus to help me figure out what needs to be done and how to do it, so we'll see what happens. This is the earliest I've ever been this far behind, and doing so poorly, in a class. Hopefully, I'll have time to recover.

 

That sucks Craig. Hopefully it will get better.

 

Thanks, Shaun. It can only go uphill from here. Time to hit the books, again. Enjoy your work schedule. I'm thinking you'll like the day shift once you get a chance to work it. I prefer the evening shifts myself. Didn't have to play office politics, but since I was laid off nearly three years ago, now, I "work" whatever shift I want, since 3.5 out of 4 classes this semester are online.

If my ladies want to watch movies or TV shows during the evening, I move my stuff out to the trailer and continue studying out there. I've used my trailer more often as a "study room" than a vacation cottage. Now that I think about it, that kind of sucks, doesn't it? My psychologist wants me to force myself to go fishing for a half-day on Saturdays or Sundays. I told her I'd try, but that hasn't worked out yet, either. My next appointment with her isn't until October, so hopefully, I'll make a trip before then.

 

I know I will like it Craig. I just have to adjust to being up early again. Catch you later.

 

Remember, that bright, shiny, yellow thing in the sky is NOT a bad thing. You'll get used to it again. Trust me.

Later, dude.

 

I have to get used to seeing the bright yellow thing rise in the mornings.

 

Craig yeah we will have to talk soon and try and figure that out.

Just got done smoking/bbqing cedar plank bacon wrapped thick cut pork chops, oh my god were they amazing!

 

Good morning all, happy Hump Day!

I still have to try these, still looking for the planks!

 

Pat pm or email me your address, next time I'm in town I will pick some up and send them your way.


A big key when cooking on the planks is to soak them in water for at least a half hour so they smoke but don't burn for a while.

 

Morning dood! I'll do that!

I still have the email you sent me, I really want to try those!

 

Addy emailed!

 

Morning Idaho.
