A few days off...

My first "real" shift was on Sunday.  I've had 3 days(nights) off.  Tomorrow I go back to work.

I used these three days to adjust.  Working nights, or in my case an off-shift, is challenging.  Sleep-wake cycles are a big factor!  Especially when the world is on the day shift...  the leaf blower at 9am, the maid knocking at 10am, etc...

I have to work the next two nights, then I will have another 3 days off.  I plan a quick turn-around and will get out and visit some places!  After all, it's the weekend!  Pictures will be posted, I promise.

I am less than 20 minutes from Mexico, less than 10 minutes from California.  I think the first thing is to ride to the mighty Colorado River!  Maybe a swing by the local HD dealership and arrange my 10K service, get a chip...

I am working on two things here.  First is my Spanish.  It is amazing how much you think you remember, but when put to use, it is truly phenomenal how much one can actually remember, adapt, and learn.  Second, is my tan.  I was teased by my co-workers regarding my sunglass face and riding glove hands... It is starting to even out.  At the end of this assignment, I better start carrying my passport everywhere!
