King of the road

Whew, that was a long haul of road days. We finished the last shot up yesterday, and some odds and ends today. I tell ya, working down at Suffield was just an awesome project. Really neat work, with an immediate practical deliverable. Also, a fun group of people to work with from all over the world. Probably the coolest part though (aside from seeing a 5000kg bomb set off, which was really really damn cool) is that it's good and important work. The stuff we were doing is in use in afghanistan as we speak, so it's a relevant project. Went out to celebrate with the whole crew last night... what a gong show. I was doing great till the dutch major bought the unrefusable 'one more round'. I was right at the edge of the perfect amount, and I got toppled a bit. Nothing stupid, just more that I wanted. Still almost peed my pants laughing a few times. Man, those dutch know how to have some fun.

In other news, I'm covered in ugly (and REALLY itchy) red welts. I was attacked in the night by a very small spider, who got about 40 bites off without me noticing. Crap am I itchy.

Now I have liek 5 days off, which is good... nice very long weekend for thanksgiving, oh, and doing something with Karen tomorrow, hopefully sans nerves.
