Not having a phone is damned inconvenient. I had to do division on paper yesterday. :P

Now at work, we have 7 out for 14 days, and 4 more waiting for test results. At this rate, by the end of the year we won't have enough workers at work.

Late start (due to a nap).


A few anxiety-inducing challenges parenting the parent today.  But we survived.

Keep hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times when using this slide rule. The other side has more of the same sort of wild shyt on it maybe Dave can explain what all it does this was pops' and he was a genuine satellite smithy. I suspect with this and a couple scraps of paper a power user could plot a suborbital lunar approach or at least get close. Alignment has suffered a bit.
