Wednesday: AK0! AK0!

So today I did a fit check of something on the aircraft and we found the aircraft came in with something wrong (not really a surprise).  I'm talking to one of the guys who fixes that stuff, and he complains that it is taking forever to get parts.  He tells me to make sure the paperwork says AK0 and not AK1 on it.  Ok, that makes sense to me: 0 must be higher priority than 1.

I'm talking to the people that will help me fill out the paperwork and I say "Can we make sure it is an AK0 instead of an AK1?"  They look at me in amazement and can't believe I know that.  

"Wow, you know that?"

"No, I have no idea what it means." I say. "I'm just repeating what I heard and I need this fixed." :)

Laughter.

So now everytime I go in there I'm going to tell them it is an AK0 priority.

But I also know more now:

AK0 is the highest priority

AK7 is the middle priority

AK1 is the lowest priority.

Make sense?

Tuesday: vet

Flurry had to go to the vet today.  She was not happy about it.  The only thing good about the vet is that she doesn't mind the car ride home. :)

Here's a picture from yesterday when I was trying different settings.

Friday-Sunday: Lady's retreat

I went on a retreat with ladies from my church this weekend.

Here we are playing ladder golf

Two of our people were on cruches for a bit.  (Jess hurt her ankle playing paint ball)

Heidi and I in the main tent.

Thursday: more basement pics

We got our water softener put in today.  The neighbors up the hill had to replace all of their faucets because of hard water, so we're trying to avoid that.  (Our calcium was 11 ppsomething, which isn't super high but high enough.)

Wednesday: work bench

We got the workbench together today!  It looks nice, although it was a pain to put together.

I have one more days worth of work for "my" A&P mechanic to do at work tomorrow.   Everyday I'm been managing to get enough for only the next day.  Not the best system, but it's more-or-less been working so far.  I'm excited about tomorrow because we finally got a part that is rather essential to part of the build, so I'm hoping to get far.  Or at least discover a lot of problems.

Tuesday: a good day

Today was a good day.


It started out with working from home in the morning because I was going to get a late start at work. I was eating yogurt for breakfast and Flurry came over (several times) to try and get some. At one point she stood on my shoulder trying to figure out how to get some.

Then I gave blood at work. Thanks to iron-rich vitamins, I didn't have any hemoglobin problems. I felt a bit dizzy at some points, but ended up doing fine.
I went to Bible Study at night. It was our first "real" Bible Study in a while and it was really good. We talked about sin and fears and habits and such and how they all link together. I realized one of my fears is that of being accepted. I'm not really sure why, but it's definitely there. Anyway, afterwards one of the girls asked if I was going to the women's retreat this weekend. I wasn't for a bunch of dumb reasons...basically I didn't get around to signing up. So she had one of the other people call the coordinator to see if there was still room. A lady had dropped out earlier today so there was a (pre-paid!) spot for me! So I came away from the study feeling very accepted and excited about this weekend. The only problem is that it's a women's retreat. I don't really consider myself a woman yet...I do woman things all the time, but am really just an old young adult. Well, maybe I can be both for a weekend.
