Adieu GMD
Today was the last day I had to work for Boeing GMD. I'm not going to explain what is GMD to any non-government folk. It's far too boring to talk about during work, nonetheless a Friday evening. Boeing had to make some serious staffing changes due to some serious budgets cuts, and in particular they couldn't afford to contract me anymore. Fortunately I work for Dynetics, and starting Monday I'll be working on a Lockheed Martin contract. Same pay. Shorter commute. More interesting work. I never thought getting my job cut would be so great.

The Hops Must Flow
I went to Founders Day last weekend. Did some work, did some car bombs, had some fun. No particularly outstanding stories, but a general good time had by all. I think I've grown to love car bombs. But car bombs are a sometimes food.
A car bomb at the bar: $7 - $12
A car bomb at home: Priceless... er, about $2
The Alabama senate passed the Gourment Beer Bill yesterday. Now we just need the governor's signature, which is likely since he just signed a bill raising the ABV limit on wine. I'm looking forward to a much wider beer selection at next month's Magic City Brewfest. I'm buying my tickets today, and Jenny and I are going to spend the night in Birmingham. Dark Lord Day taught me a 1 1/2 hour drive home after a beer festival is a long car ride.
I bought my tickets to the Music City Brewer's Festival. Now that is going to be one heck of a brewfest.
Jenny's aunt made us a set of glass coasters. I'm pretty sure they're in a package I just picked up from the leasing office. Now Jenny's going to make me use coasters. Nothing against coasters, but when you have a blue shell barreling down your ass the last thing on your mind is where to set down your friggin' beer. And seriously, it takes one person to knock over a glass of beer to undo the cumulative effort of using coaster for like what? The entire year?
I finished the first five Harry Potter books, part of an insignificant goal I have. That gives me two months to read The Half-Blood Prince before the movie comes out. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll make it.
How about that rain we've been having? I know, right?
