Heavy Metal Sunday is still busy, but posting!

The grand packing continues, but I'm still here to post! This morning, we celebrate the recent success of my favorite baseball team with The Dillinger Escape Plan - Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants off of 2004's Miss Machine

Thirty days, Day 7

Day 07 - A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

Fort Benning Main Gate

Passing through those gates made me who I am today.

Well, hello, content.. yes hello hello content, it's so nice to see you back where you belong...


  • What can I say, I've been busy.

  • Packing for the move continues. The bedrooms are about done, and that's ninety percent of the problem.

  • Still more stuff for Goodwill.

  • We've seen two places in the last two days that we really want.

  • Today's was a Triplex in Santa Clara. Loved it.

  • But until we hear something, all we can do is keep cleaning and packing and hope for the best.

  • Work is not cooperating with my need to move.

  • Did 11 hours on Friday.

  • A big problem is the lack of warehouse support. We're using some temps, and they can't work overtime.

  • Which means a couple of days the trucks haven't been loaded.

  • Which adds an hour or so to our morning prep time.

  • It's frustrating.

  • Giants Baseball.. torture!

  • Admittedly we've been on a tear, and are now three games out of first place in the NL West.

  • But the G-men seem to thrive on drama.

  • Currently reading Gaunt's Ghosts: The Founding by Dan Abnett.

  • I really love the WH40K setting. The unending conflicts have solid reasons behind them, and the Gothic horror overtones are well explained.

  • Abnett does a great job of showing how even in the GrimDark future of Warhammer 40,000 hope and love and happiness till exist for most people. The endless wars and inquisitions and corruptions rarely affect more than a tiny portion of the Imperial worlds.

  • Sort of like Earth. We have some real hellholes, but most people just live their lives.

  • Giants get a four-game sweep of the Diamondbacks. Great road trip, 6-1 and they looked solid.
