It is 0031 (1231 A.M.) and now officially Columbus Day Observed
. Hey! Thats what is says right here on the calender, October 9, Columbus Day Observed. So I'm observing
. Matter per fact most Gummit folks have a four day observation. Meaning its a four day weekend for most. Not for me.
I been out here in the middle of these Ranges for three 12 hour nights. Lotsa boring moments. But I have discovered "the laptop computer". Wife got me one and it has given me something to do when things get boring. I'm sitting here in this vehicle with the laptop and communicating with the world.
Amazing. Fellow in the tower talked to me about laptop, WIFI, cetra, the other night. Told me he would leave a certain 'router' on at the tower for the weekend for my use. Then he loaned me this little Hawking antenna. Amazing. The tower router somehow works thru some repeater antennas of some sort (don't ask me, I have no idea of how) and I can be 8 to 10 miles from the tower and still get online. Amazing. I get WIFI access at the tower and then dial up our SP and ZAP....I'm online.
Daughter showed me that I can watch real movies with this laptop. I'm burned out on movies for a while.
During one boring moment I contacted......well, a certain computer on base and ordered a pizza. Dxxx. Those desk sargeants have no sense of humor.
Its pretty chilly and breezy out here tonight. A full bright moon. I can see the glow of headlights way off in the distance but no one has bothered to drive into the restricted areas. So, I've had no outside company. Maybe thats becuase the Range Gates are closed and locked? I've seen the glow of inter-coastal water-way tug boat search lights several times so those fellas are working the weekend also.
Thats whats happening with GCSO Armed Range Security tonight. Ya'll sleep well. I'll be out here untill 5 A.M.
