So why you been up?

Had to drop off one of the kids at UCLA last night and have been up since.
UCLA discourages the students from bringing cars to school.
The North of main campus dorm residential/recreation/dining facilities area is amazing. Forested and scenic.

Beautiful women galore.
Some rumor now girls out number male students across the country. Sure looks it.

In Paris and towns in Switzerland we notice at 2AM people put the baby's in strollers, hook up the dog and go for walks.
Ali and I have been doing that ever since.
Easy for her she works all night'ers and is wide awake.

We used to have a cat that would tag along but he tapped out some time ago.

Time to get some sleep.
It'll be back to UCLA medical today for more Cardiology tests.

So who's been up all night?

Damn idiot neighbor has a new dalmatian puppy, and the poor dog was locked outside all night long. So the little guy barked all night begging for some attention. I almost went over and brought him home, just so he could be around people and other dogs. Neighbor is a mental case and the last person in the world who should have a dog. 🙄

Drove home from Parker yesterday so I slept like a baby last night.
Congrats on your UCLA student, our oldest graduated last year. What a spectacular campus and area.

Just walked the dog. Warm evening. Wife is slammed at work on her 5th twelve hour shift. They begged her to come in. Their is a nurse shortage even at the high paying levels of nursing.

Spent an hour re doing a job a mobil RV repair guy did wrong.
He installed four 6 volts wired to feed 6 volts to the RV. All in parallel.
I re-routed the wiring so I have four 6 Volts supplying 12 Volts to the RV. Parallel to series.
Awkward and hard to get at.
Slightly stressful, but now working good.

Paid a gardener to thin out the Nile Lillys and he left a mess I'll clean up at daylight.

Always graveyard. Every other Saturday, Sunday Monday and Tuesday
Years ago I had to do a little graveyard, for me it was hard to handle. I guess they say if you're going to do it it's better not to rotate.

Also are you saying you're off every other week?

I never sleep more than 4-5 hours usually.
Staying up all night on rigs is kind of normal now and then.

Heart burn all night 😩😩
Get that under control

First comes Barrett’s disease followed by throat cancer if you just keep living through it.

I take medication, but occasionally, have to sleep with two pillows part of the night.

If you haven’t already, get your throat scoped … eyes on the damage already done…. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

best of luck
