    Bros before ‘jos?

    nah, technically still married. Don't want that shit to bite me in the ass. Her, yes, but not more BS. 

    But I will see her at my son's wedding next year, so never give up hope.

    When I was in my early 40's I had that "These guys are old enough to be my kids" moments and started to care a little less.   I'm 55 now and it's wont be that long until they could be my grandkids.   Now, when one of them does something dumb off the field or on, I just don't let it get to me anymore.   Not my rodeo, not my clowns.  

    I was in Austin on T/W this past week and was in West Campus dropping one of the Macanudo-ettes off at her friend's apartment in West Campus.   Damn, I felt really, really old and extremely out of place.  

    Was at a wedding a few weeks ago. Groom is my son's best friend and grew up in my house. A second son. So I got to be the last "old" invited to have the celebratory cigar at the end. Venue was closed, but we were allowed to stay. Got hit on by a bad ass 35 year old  Navajo chick. I did not proceed, should have.

    Sometimes I fit in, living in San Marcos I am surrounded by the yutes.  But when they start talking about their lives I get lost. Asked the collected 27ish year olds what was the last book they read. Silence. Oh and I have to have an instagram account to see the wedding pictures. 

    Yeah, I felt out of place.

    Correct. Engineer, lawyer, doesn’t matter. It’s your deal/bar card. If you’re signing it, you read it. At least the final draft that you sign.

    For me on development programs I am the final compliance check. So yeah, you fuck up the review the program fails and people don't get the help they need. Have seen it many times.

    No, I’m aware of my responsibility. After an initial review you don’t expect changes to things you didn’t mark.  There’s no guarantee if someone is using AI to write that it won’t be different.  So yes, if a seventy page report has four or five revisions now I’m going to have to reread every word.  Because if there’s one thing AI is known for is a different response each time due to their model.

    Yes. You read every draft.

  5. There has been rather strong language used when communicating Melissa’s impact to Jamaica, and rightfully so.

    The National Hurricane Center warned on Saturday, “Melissa is still expected to make landfall in Jamaica as an upper-end Category 4 hurricane, which could be the strongest direct landfall for the island since tropical cyclone record keeping has been made in the Atlantic Basin.”

    While Melissa could make landfall as a high-end Category 4 storm or even a Category 5, the practical difference between the two is minimal.

    Interesting look back.  Amusing to see the same armor being used 45 years later.  Maybe even some of the same personnel.

     

    We knew they were going in. Just like we knew they were attacking Ukraine. ya don't move certain equipment unless you plan on needing it.

    This is me. I never have to actually go to my work, but at least once a week I will go for a few hours because I can't always focus at home. I usually do all the easy stuff at home with the TV going on in the back ground and save the stuff I really need to concentrate on to do at the store. 

    In my case, I can also get some advice on certain issues from my coworkers, and that is easier to do in person.

    Same. When I need to focus I go to a quiet coffee shop and sit outside. A nice coffee, always eye candy, and I focus better.

    So was there actually a tornado near Wimberley last night? SM people are pissed that their fancy new sirens never went off.

    Not that I have heard of. And yeah, the sirens never went off.

    I spent half a deployment doing Maritime patrol looking for “Go-fast” boats in the Caribbean and in the Eastern Pacific. You would be surprised how hard they are to find when trying to search a large area. We calling it mowing the lawn. We had a search area and went back and forth. It was miserable.

    For sure, and TARS does not see that far south.

    They’ve built semi-submersibles that will do transatlantic and even South America to Solomon Islands. 

    Have heard rumors of Brazil to East Africa, which is where a lot of the blow for Europe transits.

    Also can be dropped at sea with a beacon and then picked up by a commercial vessel or yacht. Which then might try to go into port or try to get into territorial waters and the then drop again so small vessels that won’t go through customs can do a quick run to pick up. It’s a dynamic, it’s cheaper logistically to do one large shipment but less chance of interdiction to diversify routes.

    Don’t get the situation wrong, these strikes are illegal and morally wrong but the boats (and for sure the semi-submersible that had survivors) are carrying drugs. 

    Yes, that is the reference to off-loading. Hell they will dump them with a buoy to be picked up by a fishing vessel. Sometimes they wash up on US shores, hence cocaine infused alligators.
