15/Aug/20 you really could move that bag of potatoes away from my head

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

So the "heat wave" finally broke.  That's not to say that it will not come back though.  The weather can be finicky at times.

Just like the internet connection.  Because it's wireless, it does have hickups.  But thankfully, the Big Guy works in Tech Support, so he is able to quickly do some troubleshooting.  Horray for him.

The weather is calling for showers this morning.  Then some more rain on Tuesday.  Some sort of tropical storm that is coming our way.

Thankfully, no mention of a hurricane.

The Big Guy also got some news from work.  He will be starting at 5 in the morning, starting next week.  He is pretty happy about it.  He gets up early in the morning to start with.  So for him, this is really just him getting up early and going to work.

He used to do the same thing on the ship.  He would wake up really early and get all his work done.  Then he had the day to do with what he wanted.  The Coxn of the ship didn't much care for that though.  So he would give the Big Guy extra things to do.  The Big Guy was the only guy in the fleet doing both Petty Officer of the Watch and HQ1 watch keeper in the same day.  So the Big Guy got up even earlier and got his daily work done.  It drove the Coxn batty.  When Sea Training caught wind of what he was doing to the Big Guy, they didn't approve.  Things didn't change though.  The Coxn still made the Big Guy do both jobs.

The Big Guy says, he misses being in the Navy.  Obviously not the shit jobs, but the camaraderie that he finds he just can't get outside the Navy.
