Well I've got another 3 days off

and that's not good. I'm going to see what's happening for next week then, I'll be making some adjustments. Most of the people I work with have a 2nd job and I might be forced to look for a 2nd job as well. I have about another 3.5 years before I retire anyway and then I'd keep this job part time. For now though I'm not quite there.

Yesterday Nasa launched "Ladee" a lunar mission from Wallops Flight Facility on the Virginia shore. The mission is to measure the thin lunar atmosphere and lunar dust. Also this mission is to demo laser communication. It's going to orbit the earth 3 times. It's going to arrive in the lunar orbit October 6th. It's a 6 month $280 million mission. .

Not much on my plate today. I'll be watching the BC/Hamilton game about to get under way, in about an hour after that, I'll probably work on a track after that. 

I don't think the Eskimo's respond to well under pressure. It's kind of like Cody Rhodes being "fired" by Triple H when he lost his match with Randy Orton. Sure the Esks are struggling but they've got to play better then they did last night. Our first chance at the ball on a kick return, it gets fumbled recovered and points made on that turnover. Our field goal kicker had 2 field goals a high school kid could have made and he missed both of them. Our QB's go to receiver that accounted for almost 27 points in 5 minutes Monday had double coverage all night giving us a score of 12-22 Calgary. We're 1-10! We hadn't had a record like this since 1971. That was the year we had to fly a bunch of NFL players up here. Even at the moment we're running with only 3 imports. At least NHL training camp is coming up next week. 

In a interesting "turn of development" from a story from the national news. It seems there are more then one "opposition" group in Syria. The National news source said there could be as many as 4-6 different groups with various agenda's. But what if terrorist groups have managed to acquire chemical weapons brought them into Syria and used them to draw other countries like the US into the conflict? Arming these groups is a bad idea because for all we know we're arming terrorists organizations. I'm pretty sure US intelligence knows what they're doing but you never know.

At the moment, I'm enjoying a coffee trying to wake up. Next weekend (I hope) I'll be working 10-4pm.

Alright the BC/Hamilton CFL game is about to get under way. Anyway, that's about all for now.
