Well what a day today was, and it isn’t quite over yet. We finally got rain here, what a blessing. I had an inch and 40 points in my gauge at the house. I know we had more than that at work. It pretty much rained all day. And then we ended the day with a rainbow at around five o’clock, and then an absolutely gorgeous sunset. A myriad of blessings all in one day. Thank you Lord.
Work was busy again. I think they meter crews were trying to see how much they could do in the few days left before billing. It kept me busy and that was good.
My son tried to burn up his truck today. He was working on it after dark last night and forgot he left a pair of needle nose pliers on the radiator. On the way to school this morning they ended up on his battery and started a fire that put a hole in the battery, fried a ground wire and put a hole in a vacuum line, as well as ruining one of the contacts to the battery. We replaced the contact and the battery and he managed to repair the rest. It was an expensive lesson. he is still on the road though, so I guess all is well.
I had lunch with an old friend. We talked about old times, and how we met our spouses, the cost of living in Alaska verses here and pretty much decided things were more expensive up there, but in comparison were quite relative. We talked and laughed and picked on each other for the rest of the day. It was fun, and a day i will remember for a long time. I am really glad we got to catch up, we will just have to try to keep in touch now.
Chelsea and Guy should be in soon, and then tomorrow starts the infamous rocket launches I have been telling you about. Below i s the schedule for tomorrows launches, There are currently 17 rockets scheduled. I will try to post each days schedules in my blog.

Good luck to all the schools. If I get a chance to do some updates during the day tomorrow , then I will but don’t count on it. It will probably just be the end of day one. Here is the SystemsGo website again where you can find the livestream.
Good Day until tomorrow.
