    Back from my self-imposed 30 day break...it was nice.

    Hello my friends,
    I took 30 days off voluntarily when the angst started to pile up and was affecting my postings. It was worth it.

    During this time I also stopped watching the news on a regular basis because I have "impeachment saturation". (sick of hearing about it).
    What drove this decision was watching the first three minutes of Laura Ingrahm's opening statements and realized I was watching a junior high school lunch room good kids table vs. the bad kids table dialogue. The petty nonsense on all channels has made me decide to stick my periscope up maybe once every 30 days and see if anything has changed. Otherwise the daily spin ALL networks use for ratings has gotten to pretty pathetic levels. Not to mention the content.

    Besides, my friends, I have your posts to keep me abreast of this too. Though the spin is probably the same.

    I was also able to contract out building a 12 X 20 foot shed back in the jungle and built a 12 X 12 deck near the house myself.

    ...and the wife and all five kitties are still safe.

    RNS

    Thank you Agent Zero.
    Some times you just gotta take a step back for a bit for your own health and digestion.

    I have not told you before, but I DO like seeing both sides and appreciate your posts in that regard.
    They give me 360 degree vision.

    Hey, Cotton1.

    ...a note in lyrics...

    You gotta know when to hold them,
    Know when to walk away,
    ...and know when to run.

    sometimes walking away briefly is a good thing.

    It means I am in control, and not the internet.

    Thank you. Close enough for me.

    Formally the 35 cent description for the rating is called, " Aviation Anti-Submarine Warfare Technician " with the short letters AX.

    Aviation mechanic is good enough for me, my friend.
