    That reminds me... the frogs are out of hibernation by the pond in the field next door... what a deafening racket. I love it though, it means spring is really here (even though it snowed today just up the mountain from us.)

    It snowed yesterday and today here. Expecting rain tomorrow. Makes getting excited about the weather tough.

    I've been doing night shift for years now. Before that I was on third shift. I've worked some day shifts here and there, but honestly.... it's not for me.

    I tried dayshifts for about a year and a half. That was about all I could handle. :smile:

    I keep trying to go to day shift, and somehow always end up back on nights. I like it, though!

    Why does it feel like a weekend already? I'm not ready for a 48 hour shift.

    Don't call and ask if your pet should be seen and then say you can't come in. I'm telling you there is nothing you can do from home unless your house is equipped with a full surgical suite and an ICU unit. If your dog can't breathe, get it in here!

    I think some of my supplements are helping my biking but trashing my sleep. Time to go back to just vitamins and probiotics and see what happens.

    Here's what some of the crew have been doing the past 6 days/nights (onsite security 24 hr coverage -2 shifts of 12)... mudslide due to too much rain and snowmelt above a creek drainage. Two houses wrecked, luckily no one killed but some non-life-threatening injuries. Local community is gathering supplies and clothing etc for the two families. Geotechs say we just have to wait and watch til it all stabilizes. Likely a couple more weeks...
    12 inch diam. tree through the 1 house.

    Mornin'! Welcome to the newbie! Hopefully you'll evening is quiet.
    One of my co-workers went off the road and into the lake with his truck last night heading for his shift at the slide. It was pouring with rain and very dark and he couldn't quite see the corner properly. The Honda Ridgeline was totalled, luckily he wasn't too badly hurt. Poor guy!
    Tonight it's -1 C but at least it's dry and clear.
    Lots of action for the RCMP tonight. DUI's, drug sales, accidents. The tow trucks have been working hard.

    OK. I've eaten all my food and I still have 7 1/2 hours go to. I'm in deep trouble. :frowning:
