So.... I was 50/50 on quitting my job last week, but they said they would back off on the long dispatches.

Monday and Tuesday were much better, but today I had 2 runs including a customer site in Selma, Alabama near Montgomery. Thought I could get in and out before the weather, but Zeta is moving much faster than Sally.

Parked at the customer in Selma between 2 trailers riding out Zeta in a truck. I am glad I didn't attempt to drive out of here it's getting nasty. Could be a long night trying to sleep with the wind rocking the truck though.

Sometimes I think about finding something else like maybe warehouse work or forklift certifying. It's weird though because I am way to used to working by myself. It also seems like this area has really lowball wages for that anyway. I dunno, maybe I could go back to yard jockey shuttling trailers to the dock.
 
Quick Catwoman sketch without reference. A series of character sketches from lessons learned by Jim Lee draw along series of tutorials. In this sketch, I tried to go for a more challenging perspective & pose. Always trying to improve.

Done while listening to a 2 hours presentation. I did google Catwoman pictures to get the feel.

I wonder if I should color it like I did with Wonderwoman.

Anyone having knowledge of stargazers (correct term?)? I'm thinking of buying one to watch the night sky when there's clear nights.
Any tips? I'm a novice, so nothing expensive at this point.

Get some night vision goggles so you can see the UFO's fighting each other in space.

Keep in mind, trying to line it up to planets is tough without it being motorized. Read up on how to get manual ones lined up properly to your object.
I have absolutely no experience of this... Maybe a motorized is preferable, but $200 feels like a good sweet spot. It's fun to learn new things though, so learning about manually setting it up might be a good time.

Learn on it. If you enjoy it, you'll want to upgrade.

Now I'm a bit nervous that we haven't seen MR X in a couple weeks. He was always afraid of the backcountry folk coming after him.

Yes, MR X please let us know you're alright.

Everything was fine around here regarding the bad humans until yesterday afternoon. There were small convoys of redneck trucks driving very slowly patrolling this road for some reason. Who knows what they're up to, since none of the trucks I saw are ever parked at anyone's house. I don't think any of them live on this road. I bought another LED (life ending device) last week to add to the arsenal if these humans decide to come down this lane.

I haven't been coming around here much lately. Bad time of year for depression and it's being multiplied X100 with the new world we exist in. Plus, a certain someone who posts here annoys the f out of me to the point it's like watching a Mitch McConnell ad twice every commercial break.

Good to know you're okay.
That's a badass rifle no doubt.
Are you happy the Trump is going away?
