Friday night blogging?

Apparently so.

It's been a busy week. Most importantly, I had a phone job interview this afternoon with a local firm that is not related to the USAF. Hopefully I gave the interviewer the answers he was looking for and I'll make the cut and will get called in next week for a face to face interview. It would be a real shame to tell the man I will have to delay starting work for a week due to a fishing trip but I'll hopefully get the chance to do just that.

I have been job hunting all week and staying close to the house because it's been raining, snowing, sleeting and generally looking like November instead of almost May! I did get the grass mowed and some weed killer sprayed on and some bushes trimmed. I've also given up on the church's leafblower but made the weedeater work so I'm batting 50% on the small engine repairs.

The weather has been so lousy that there hasn't been any fishing this week and that is a real bummer because fishing buddy Kenny had a week long kitchen pass. But we couldn't get out so now there is just 1 week left before leaving for Flaming Gorge and only one day next week on the forecast where it looks like I'll be able to take Fish Slayer out and make certain everything is working. I'm already on the MkII version of my sideplaner tower and I really want to see if it works. I've also added 6 rodholders to the front of the boat today to try to keep the rods under control. When Kenny gets busy fishing he can have fishing poles sticking out all over the boat while he rigs and changes rigs so now there are some places to keep them stored.

My kitten Itty Bit, asleep on my lap right now, came in one night this week after being out in the dark and the next day I discovered a 1 1/2 inch patch of skin showing through where fur should be, on his right shoulder. There's a tiny scratch that doesn't seem to be bothering him but he has an arrow shaped patch where there should be fur and there's just pink skin showing through. Itty Bit has also discovered the front yard and that he can access it by climbing the fence so he has been busy exploring everywhere. There's no way to keep him in the yard but I'm trying to reign in his wandering. He shouldn't go too far since he won't trying to find any girlfriends as he grows up.

Tomorrow's a church yard cleanup day and it looks like that will be done in the cold temps and rain as well as everything else this week. I'm in charge so I'll be there early and late I suppose. I just wish the dang temperatures would get 20 degrees warmer- as they normally are so we didn't have to battle wind chill while picking weeds!
