Long time, no see....this job is "busier" than when I started the blog....

  Hello everyone,

   When I started the blog last September, I was deployed and worked in an office.  Of my eight or twelve hour shift, I was usually only "busy" for 3-4 hours, which left me many hours to work on the blog.  My usual train of thought was to figure my next topic after I posted one...that way I could have a good start on the blog each day.

  With my new job, at Olympic Panel Products in Shelton, I am very busy from around 2pm until we leave at 11:15pm.  Not easy to think of relevant topics while producing plywood.  Our plywood has no less than 50 people directly involved in making each and every panel, although on my team there are 5 of us.  After each shift, I drive home and will usually be sleeping by 1:30am.  Our mornings are reserved for shopping for groceries or needed car parts.

  The only time I have to really think about the blog and which direction to write is on the weekends.....unless I am going to be busy at Ft. Lewis.  My leave is nearly over and this Saturday will be my first trip up to Ft. Lewis since we returned in February.  I will try to post at least every weekend, even though some of the posts may be later in the day.

  Have a great day and I will catch up again ( sooner ).
