Re: What's Goin On in Our Real Lives
Thank you DougF, Jay-Qu and Big Dog!
Next week is my last week here at Nocturnal Aviation Engineering. (A fly by night operation, if there ever was one.) So, I may not be posting as regular for a while. Or I may have to start posting just from home until after I get settled in the new job. So, if my appearances get a little sparse, you know why.
In the meantime, visit my latest TGIF posts. And Anything.

Re: What's Goin On in Our Real Lives
First day on my new job!
New company: SAIC (Software Applications International Corporation).
My cubicle is larger, nicer and more useful. They even changed the height of the desks for me.  Nice people. Fantastic IT department. Great support staff. Security is fierce. I won't be able to post from work any more.  All keystrokes are monitored by security software. 
I really enjoyed the call from Jay-Qu Saturday!!!  I never talked to someone that far away before. NW Australia! Wow, dudes!!!!!! Thanks again, JQ. I was blown away. Great luck in your studies.

Just hugging trees...
Today was spent hugging trees. It was my job.
We are working on a stream restoration project and it involved several different evaluations, mostly pertaining to the small stream.
A county ordinance requires that all trees (included in its list of "preferred" species) having a diameter larger than 12 inches be preserved, or else mitigated (ie tree plantings of sufficient biomass), in accordance with county regulations. Surveyors are following behind and recording the points. I had to mark the trees and species so that they can shoot in the "critical" trees. Wrapping flagging-tape around a 20-inch diameter sweet gum ( L. styraciflua) requires a reach-around hug.
I love my job!
