GraveYard Shift BS

I never could find your boat in the search the other day.
What general location are you, ill try and look it up when I get home in an hour.

Sounds like things are getting rough up your way. Stay safe up there.

 

I get a 12% night shift premium

 

Nice.

 

We might be out of range of the AIS programs.. Pretty sure that the Gulf of Alaska doesn't have any receivers linked up to the internet, yet..

Just cruising by Sand Point, coming up on Kupreanof Point (S. side of Alaska peninsula)

 

At least you're going home safe. Take Care.

Did 26 years active duty. Been in this civil service gig 4 years now.

Yeah, next few days don't look nice out that way. Stay safe Jake.

Cool. The nearest boats I am seeing near that area in the Akutan Bay, just south west of you. They must have some transponders in that area.

 

Yea trying to get the plant started back up

 

I'm here. Still got my feet up on the table 2 hours into my shift.

 

Aren't you 10 min into your nap by now, usually?

 

Yup. Sittin here having some turkey jerky.
Hopefully i'll have the other chapters up friday and still waiting conformation from the publisher to start printing the English version.

 

Just cruising by Kilokak Rocks.. Got our brains beat out all day - finally calmed down a bit.

Going to fire up the refrigeration system around 0700, hoping to be fishing by this afternoon!

 

Slow here tonight. Small down load / up load on the 747; guys are finishing up now.

But we organized a Chilli feed potluck, so we'll be chowing down in about 10 mins.

Jake, When I saw the Gale Warning I figured ya'll were in for a rough day. Glad to read it's calming back down. Hope your day is productive and you fill up quick. Stay Safe.

 

I'd be interested in purchasing an English version. Really good stuff. I've always been a bit of a history buff; and after living in England for 7 years...and traveling through some of the areas, I find the WWII material very interesting.

 

Love the ww2 and Vietnam era stuff.
I think I'm getting like 20 copies to distribute to family, ill be sure to save you a copy.
The author and a crew actually pinpointed the crash area when he started the book, got an expedition team together and found parts of the wreckage including .50 guns, belt feeds, propellors and person items from some of the crew. This was just 2-3 yrs ago.

Guess i'll stay a few hours over this morn. Couple more weeks hopefully I can atleast order my front suspension components.

 

That's very kind of you. I'll send you a check to cover the costs.

For new truck stuff.

 

Oh kind sir. Pmt is not necessary as I get them for free.

Just loaded my 3rd part which will run about 3 hrs.
That's about $2.5 mil in inconel for tonight. I wish they paid by part instead of hourly
