Biker Dude

I rented a free bicycle from my hotel and rode down here to my secret WiFi place. It’s weird, because the restaurant/bar where it is located is closed, I’m sitting here at an empty outdoor bar, with a pool. All closed, nobody here but me. It’s a pity, ’cause I have some money I’d like to spend on something to drink and a great big ‘ol steak. Also because it is a great pool and bar. I usually eat here every trip.
MY hotel charges $15 an hour for internet access. but they let you use a bike for free.
Today I did my two broadcasts and got to spend a little time by the pool afterwards. Tomorrow is the last broadcast at 11 AM, then the flight is about 6 PM. So there’s some free time there. I want to explore this seemingly inaccessable part of the island I found a few trips ago.

About my previous post. I’ve been asking myself why I publicise that shit here. The answer is because I want to hear what people have to say about it. I was kind of disappointed to have zero comments! Sheesh! At least You guys are polite enough to not say you think I really AM a freak to my face! (I knew it already)

I took a lot of pics today but none really for postng here. they’re of my co-workers broadcasting and not my blogtype photos.

Cayman Brac Morning

Here I am on Cayman Brac. Last night I worked till about 9:45. Then went to bed. the broadcast was from a bar at the hotel where we are staying. It was a big party
I went to my room after the broadcast and helping the hotel manager fix a lock. My co-workers band was playing at the party at the bar and I heard it was a big thing. I wanted to go but that isn’t my type of thing, as you know from my photo club meeting post. I am never going to meet anybody if I don’t ever go out and meet someone! I think I operate by a different set of rules than the rest of the world. I feel like I don’t fit in at such things. very uncomfortable. There were lots of girls and sexy dresses and cleavage and I always wanted to just meet anyone but have never been able. A girl three feet from me might as well be on a different planet. I can’t communicate. I am so clueless I can’t even describe it.
Anyway, I don’t want to travel down that road this morning.
Today I have to work and it will probably take almost all day.
I am sitting in the rental car outside my secret WiFi place. Yes, it is still here!
Now I can take my emails back to my room and relpy to several that need it.
I’ll be back tonight with pics! (I hope)

Found One!

This morning I found a turtle track and nest! Totally cool and totally obvious! You can see where the Momma turtle crawled up the beach. they can’t really walk,they kind of flipperswim across the sand. You can see finmarks and a tailmark and the marks from her shell.
This is the nest, she digs a hole that is like the inside of a vase, and lays her eggs. Then she moves forward and buries the nest by throwing sand behind her, digging a big hole in the process. You see the hole, and the nest is under the mound right next to it. It doesn’t photograph well.
Then I called the dept of environmment (Not Bio Girl, she apparently doesn’t work Firdays) and they came out and dug and located the eggs (without disturbing them), triangulated the location and documented everything. They’ll come back in about 2 months when the eggs are supposed to hatch (hopefully with me) and assist if necessary.
This is a picture that I took standing right next to the nest, looking north. It looks a little like a tropical beach on a Caribbean island, doesn’t it? I love my life! It is soooo great!!

Blasting off!

This morning the alarm went off and I lazily reached over and pressed the snooze. I was dozing off and the realization suddenly HIT me! I’ve got a beach walk today! So I got up, shaved, showered made coffee, walked the dog, Got dressed, (not quite in that order!) and now am typing this.. In a few minutes I blast off, out the door for the beginning of a nonstop action packed weekend. (Too bad the action will be boring!)
After the beach walk,I go to work. Then fly to the other island for more work tonight. Lets see… what am I doing tomorrow? Working! and Sunday.. Um..trying to think… Oh yeah, Working then too! Just in time, I’ll make it back for the workweek on Monday!
Hopefully I will ba able to post more this weekend. I think so. And it won’t be all bad, I will have some time off there on Cayman Brac, hopefully!
So in case I don’t see Ya! Good morning, good afternoon, good evening!
Have a fun and safe weekend!

Depression

I think I’m going into a depression. I can seldom tell how I feel, to me I always feel the same. I notice myself sighing a lot today. Every once in awhile I take a big gulp of air. I ask myself, “why are you doing that?” I think that it is a symptom.
I can’t tell how I feel the same as when I look in the mirror I can’t see myself getting older. I can’t see the grass growing. The change is gradual and I don’t notice.
Once when I was going up some stairs, I had a memory of going up the same stairs but I could remember feeling differently. I was bounding up the stairs all happy when I usually dragged myself up them slowly. Everything was exactly the same except how I felt, and I could notice the difference. That one time, I could tell I felt better than I usually felt. So I know I sometimes feel differently than I do at other times.
But usually I can’t tell.

whew!

well I’m home. Just got here and just got out of the shower and I am just starting to relax a bit. I had a long day and not much sleep last night, but I plan on staying up till my regular bedtime just to get back on schedule.
At work the most important computer lost its operating system.Why? I don’t know, I think one corrupt file did it. But I am reinstalling the OS and reconfiguring the computer. It has all the music and commercials for the radio staion on the drives so I’m trying to save the data. Should be no problem.
At the transmitter site I have an intermittent noise problem. It is too weird to even start to discuss here. I gotta figure it out. I get a little crackling sound sometimes on the radio. Sometimes quite bad, and sometimes not at all.
Anyway, I don’t get paid enough to talk about work after work.
Want to see a cool article about spacesuits? Check this out! A space suit is a rebreather, but it also had tempurature and humidity controls. this an article about the Apollo spacesuits. It looks pretty complex to me, but you can still see the rebreather in there. The O2 bottle, the diluent bottle and the scrubber canister.
Oh you’re bored. Me too. I didn’t do much today, I didn’t go to the beach, I didn’t swim or anything. I didn’t take any pictures, except of some wiring that I wanted to be able to replace just like the manufacturer had it.
Anyway, I’m going to try and find a movie to watch.
Have a great night!

My few minutes

Good Morning!!!! I’m leaving for work in about 10 minutes, as far as I can tell, these will be the only few minutes I have free today.
I am tired, I just got off work at 1:30 came home and went to bed at 2:30, woke up at 5AM. Two and a half hours sleep and I will work till 5:30 tonight.
I’ve got major problems in the studio and major problems at the transmitter site and I anticipate nothing but complaints from all sides all day.
It’s looking like a fun day ahead!!!

end of a long day.

Here’s pre-sunrise from this mornings beach walk. No nests again, the turtle people think that there won’t be any more this season.

Here’s another pic I took whilst walking this morning. (I like the word “whilst” it’s a cool English english word)

Today was very busy, nonstop 11 hours. Tomorrow is looking busy too, starting with a broadcast at East End and ending with the talk show tomorrow late afternoon. Also I
have some transmitter problems brewing. I like Wednesdays, because of the “split shift / long lunch” but it looks like I’ll be working straight through. I worked through lunch today and yesterday. One of my important rules is “Always take your lunch hour” Cause if you don’t take it, the hour goes by and you’re still at work. If you do take it, then you go back to work. No matter what you do, you end up back at work, so you might as well take the lunch hour, because you don’t get that time back at the end of the day.

The Biologist Girl didn’t seem too nice this morning. She seems to always have some other (male) volunteers in the vehicle with her. I told her I’d call her for coffee then couldn’t today because of work, I plan on calling her tomorrow. But all day, I’ve been thinking about the Fundraiser Girl.

If I was reading a girls blog, and she kept talking about guys she liked in it, I might not like that. I might not read that blog as much. SO on one hand, I don’t want to drive away the girls by talking too much about other girls. I guess I should be saying Women instead of Girls. On the other hand, nobody can tell me more about girls than another girl. And nobody knows less about Girls (Women) than me. I’ve not been too successful in relationships. Here’s what a relationship has been to me:

R eally
E xciting
L ove
A ffair
T urns
I nto
O utrageous
N ightmare,
S anity
H angs
I n
P eril

That about sums it up. That being said, I can’t wait for the next one. I just don’t want to f it up.
Again

wow

At the fundraiser I got this girls number. We traded numbers. She called me. We went for a night beach walk. It was her first. She liked it, I liked it. It was totally great!
Then I get home and start thinking…
Earlier tonight I finally talked to the Bioligist Girl. I asked her out. She said “sure!”. I’m not sure she understood what I meant. I’ll see her tomorow. I’ll ask again.
Probably somebody else would be really happy. I’m not.
I don’t want to play the two girls game. I can’t and I don’t want to.
It always happens this way. None then two. then none again and everyone thinks I’m an asshole.
