Drip Drip Drip

     I just got home to the Wayward Inn. Working the graveyard out on the runway is cool but it really messes up the home life - the personal disconnect, but I digress. As soon as I got inside I spotted two concerns. One minor and one more of a pet peeve. The first thing I saw was the Sr. Couch Monkey's light was still on. Maybe he was getting up for early shift? Nope. I knocked. More answer so I opened the door to find him asleep with the lamp on. No big deal. The second issue was the sound I heard coming from the kitchen. A steady drip of the kitchen faucet. Now, our kitchen faucet is in good working order and yes even I have, on occasion, not pushed the handle down far enough which has allowed the water to continue to flow. Anyone could make the mistake but that being said i have a sneaking suspicion that the Onion is the culprit. It's no big deal either she'll just need a lesson in water conservation.

     I almost made a catastrophic mistake. In looking at the dates for my road trip I had erred in thinking the date of my depature was a week later than expected. That wouldn't have gone over well if I had shown up at the Sage's a full week after Mother's Day.

     I am awake again. My Jr. Loin Fruit called me looking for information and woke me from a REM sleep. Thanks. Thanks a lot!

     Have you notice that people in the Valley do not know how to park a vehicle? It shouldn't be a shock because most of them can't even drive a shopping cart. I stopped at The Sensei's house on an errand and shortly there after - at the next intersection - a lady driving a minivan was looking left as she drove straight through the intersection as I was turning left. I jammed the horn causing her to pin the brakes stopping two feet from the Ram. I bet that left a stain on her seat!

     My Lobster came home with another mason bee house. That makes two. Boosting the world bee population should be(e) everyone's concern. No bees, no crops, no survival. It's just that simple. And mason bees are great for any home - even ones with children and pets - as they have no stingers!

     I'm waiting for my Lobster and the Onion to come home. Then it's a light supper and back to the rack for another couple of hours of sleep. Graveyards are such a killer. In the meantime I am watching S1E8 of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown on Netflix. He was in Peru with Chef Eric Ripert - who found Tony nine years later hanging in his hotel in Paris.

     It was a long night and when I got home no sound of dripping taps was detected. Obviously, my little lesson to the Onion in basic kitchen mechanics worked. 

     May the Fourth be with you!
     And on that note, it was reported that Peter Mayhew, the actor who portrayed Chewbacca the Wookie, has passed away at age 74.

     The Snow Chickens are here for another week of multi-terrain training. I believe their show season starts sometime in June and goes through to September. They are a busy bunch. The question is what are going to be flying once the 50 year old CT-114 Tutor is finally retired. Knowing the Feds the Air Demonstration Team will soon be staffed by civilians as well.
