They call this work?




I finally got to do something fun at work. Myself and 3 other co-workers got all dressed up and played Launch abort. Well, we really got to get suited up to get a better idea what it is like to reach switches and generally operate while in the suit during a launch. Part of it was at the end they have us all strapped in to our seats, the mockup is vertical (launch position) so we are all on our backs. Then they call for a escape, and we have to unstrap and use emergency oxygen and get out of the vehicle by ourselves. It was pretty cool. This class was only about 2 hours long.


The weekend went by fast. Got the area behind the garage all cleaned out. about 10 bundles of branches were piled up and 3 bags of leaves and debris. Also got 2 more doors hung inside the house. I am getting faster but still hard to do it with 3 kids running around!
