so the first day in the yards came and went.
it started off to a bad start...instead of pulling in at 10:30am, it was 4pm!
there were problems with weather; it was VERY windy, and issues with the tugs. but we eventually got there.
we have to wear hardhats and safety glasses while onboard the ship. funny looking.
cant wait to see how monday is going to be...chaotic im sure!

back in port Norfolk.
a little chilly, but im bunddled up. the truck still was in the parking lot, and still runs.
doing some laundry. thats the big thing. then probably chillax for awhile. maybe see a movie.
or two. or three....
im also trying to figure out when i want to take some time off and head home. i have two liberty cards; a 72 hour and a 96 hour.
i wouldnt mind using one to go home some weekend next month...and definetly in April when i have to renew my license. its just a matter of finding the week that i can maximize my time off heh.... so far the first weekend in March might be a good one....and i havent looked in April, but sometime before the 13th....thats the expiration date.
but whatever, we'll see. in about three weeks i should be getting my E-4 pay......
good. im broke.

out to sea again.
today marks the day we leave Florida and head back to Norfolk. and then to the yeards for 4 months. yipee!
FL was all right. didnt get to go jet skiing like i had planned. we got lost and then couldnt find the rental place and before long it was 6pm and too late to rent anything. damn.
so instead i met up with some of the crew at a bar and we all drank the rest of the night. i was pretty intoxicated.
im still feeling it this morning!
good old alcohol....
good old peer pressure....
good old duty van to bring me back to the ship on time...........
