11:48 am	Weddings, weddings, everywhere! Why, oh why did we not heed gaudium_et_spes's warnings of last fall?  Why have you forsaken us, oh keeper of the fabled whiteboard of records? I love weddings.  I love going to them, I love when my friends and family get married, it is a joyous event.   Suddenly, though, it seems like lots of weddings are colliding!  Two of my closest friends independantly picked November 17th, and it seems that one of enigma5312's cousins has picked the same day as  joecarnahanand celticspectre(sorry, not the same weekend as I originally thought).  Ironically, always_a_flower, with a summer wedding (when I would think most weddings would occur) still has a generous window on both sides. I am henceforth adopting a chronological hierarchy.  Whichever invitation (save the dates do not count) I receive first shall be the wedding I attend.  Bridal party invitations trump general invitations, so recruiting me to be a groomsman will ensure my presence.  Best man trumps groomsman, and sacristan positions fall somewhere within the mix.  Sorry, but come this December 8th, there is only one wedding that I will be at - mine*. *everyone knows whose wedding it really is.

6:22 pm	home is. . . home is where I ain't. I knew that my company was sending out engineers for yet another field test in brazil, and I learned early on that one of them was to be me. The ship was scheduled to be in port at the end of April/ beginning of May, and so I figured that was when I would be down again. But then last Monday they said I as flying out that Friday. Then that Wednesday they said it would be Monday. It is very aggrevating to plan ones life around an impending international business trip that keeps shifting. I was getting more and more frustrated as the trip got nearer. I think at one point I sunk into teenaged angstness about the whole thing. I think it finally struck me on the car ride from the Rio de Janeiro airport to the hotel that the reason I am not at peace is because I am not being joyfully obedient to my employer. After all, I see this occupation and life as my Vocation, and we are all called to live obedience, so I suppose I should develop more of an attitude of joyful obedience to my employer. I have a long way to go. Meanwhile, Life in Brazil is . . . interesting. This ship is just as international as the last one, a british captain, a polish chief engineer, brazilian, columbian, chilean crew members, all in a ship owned by scots, leased to brazilians, and flagged in Port Villa (a shiny nickle to anyone who knows where that is). When we first started working on the ship (instrumenting the engine, reviewing the logs, etc) it was at anchor about half a mile (nautical, if you like) off the shore, so we took a launch to and from. Yesterday we finally maneuvered into the shipyard, except there is another ship in our parking place, so we backed in between it and another ship, perpendicular to the dock, with a strange elevated gangway tenuously connecting us to shore. I recognized the shipyard from my last visit, because it had a very distinguishing landmark: two collapsed cranes. There is this enormous crane that probably used to rise 200 feet into the air that is now a semi-erect pile of twisted scrap, and another crane at the other end of the same track, also twisted and deformed but protruding high into the air, rather than collapsing down. Getting to and from the shipyard is a relgious experience. I am reminded of the joke where the priest, minister, and taxi driver all die and go to judgement, and the taxi driver gets to go in first because he got the most people to pray. Traffic here is absolutely insane. There are no lanes, well, there are stripes, but no one pays attention. Cars, vans, and buses merge and dodge through every intersection and around every curve. All the while, motorcycles whiz past splitting lanes with reckless abandon. Out the windows I see Rio go by, most of it closed off with bars and gates, graffitied in a language I do not know. On the edge of town mountians rise so quickly and so high that the best word I have found to describe them is 'surreal.' I keep interesting company these days as well. I am the only one who actually lives in the same country where he was born. My two co-workers, both american citizens/permanent residents, are from Columbia and India. The fellows that represent the company what owns the boat are both English speakers, one speaks Scottish-english, and Austrialian-english the other. A service rep from our distributor is from New Orleans, though his family has a farm outside of Champaign. They tell stories that are incredible! I have heard recently of ships at sea, and traffic in China, flights out of Angola (which I was cautioned to avoid), mining facilities along the Amazon, and anything else you can imagine. After a couple of tales of ships flipping over and people dying, I requested that no more stories along that vein be told. When did my life become such an adventure? Lately I've felt that I'm just an outside observer being swept along. Remind me next time I'm bored that I wanted it that way, ok?

9:36 pm	I've been here before I've been here before, I thought yesterday.  I have sat in this locker room.  I have eaten in this galley.  I have worked and sweated in this engine room. It is really weird to be having deja vu in a place you've been before in a totally foreign place.  Everything inside the ship is the same.  I even recognize some of the crew from last time.  I think the weird part is this:  last time when I was in the galley and the coca-cola was brazilian, it was novel.  Now all the crackers and drinks and stuff are the same as I get in my hotel.  Very weird. . . So the shipyard I am working in this time around is actually an island.  There is no bridge to get there, so to get to the ship every morning (and to the hotel every night) I take a "water taxi."  This, consisting of a 20' partially enclosed ship with a belching inboard diesel engine, tires hanging from every edge at intervals, completes the 20 minute run each way.  Once on the island, I am surrounded by antique and modern drydock equipment.  They are rebuilding an old chinese vessel in the drydock which we are moored to.  It is all very exciting. I am also having fun with the culture.  I have learned two phrases in portugese, and have almost entirely overcome this portugese keyboard.  Gmail and Livejournal are in portugese, but I am familiar enough with the gui to work around it.  Last night we ate at a brazilian steakhouse, which is an interesting concept.  You sit down at your table, and waiters come to you.  They come to you bearing meat on a skewer, and a sharp knife, and they fill your plate with meat until you stop them.  One waiter circulates with lamb, another with prime rib, another with chicken hearts.  One of my co-workers has sworn off meat for the rest of the trip. Until next time. . . Current Mood: sleepy (Comment on this)

11:39 am	even better than a mastercard. . . I've got a visa!   Tonight I will voyage to an unfamiliar portion of the globe.  I travel with the head on my shoulders, steel toe boots on my feet, and engine diagnostic equipment in tow.  I am off to visit an old friend - a vessel designed to lift 100 tonne anchors from the sea bed. I leave behind the cheerful spring-like weather and the daily grind at the office.  I'll let you know how everything goes. . . Current Mood: excited (Comment on this)

11:10 am	Am I the only one who doesn't get snow days? Everyone keeps calling me or IMing me or posting, or whatever, with their jubalant news: "we've got a snow day!" I still went to work, and home, and ran other errands and made visits, all in the second least capable snow car in existance (the least capable still being my car, except equipped with my summer tires). At least I had fun getting around! When cars attempted to pass me on 4 lane roads, I would first "warn them" by applying sufficient throttle to make my car slide around a bit in the lane. Hopefully that would make them think "wow, that idiot is driving a miata around in the snow - I should give him some room." I spent valentine's day with one of my groomsmen wiring a n-scale train board. How both of our fiancés allowed this to happen I will never know. In other news, last weekend was a successful trip to San Jose, so that enigma5312 could meet my grandparents. Pictures are posted below for your enjoyment! Enjoy the snow everyone - I'm headed for Minnesota! San Jose! Current Mood: industrious (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:46 am	Happy Feast Day! Today is Candlemas, or the Presenataion of the Lord, (or formerly the purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary). In any event, it has been 40 days since Christmas, and the days definitely are longer. Wikipedia has many interesting entires about this day, and the pagan holiday it replaced - imbolc, which they celebrate as the festival of the goddess of fire, with, you guessed it, candles! It got me thinking about this common accusation of the Catholic Church replacing pagan holidays (Christmas the festival of light, Easter the festival of fertility, etc), but I think that this isn't accurate. I think that it is more accurate to say the Church clarified the pagan festivals - the light celebrated at the end of December is no longer the light of the sun but the Light of the Son, etc. Life has been swell lately, well, apart from very cold. I must be getting old, I haven't ridden my bike all month! I did my taxes a few weeks ago, all save the last few forms I am waiting to receive, and now I await them to finish up and get my big fat refund check. Home ownership and self dependancey are where its at for tax filing purposes! Work has been exciting. They sent me to a UW Madison engineering career fair to recruit earlier this week. Also I've been getting these omnious e-mails with subject lines like "visa application for Brazil trip," indicating that I am on the short list of potential engineers for getting sent down to Brazil to do basically the same thing I was doing in Texas last July, except this time out at sea, and in Brazil. If this trip comes to fruition, I will have more to post later. Other than that, I'm getting excited for enigma5312 's visit next week.  We're doing all that fun "wedding planning stuff."

11:55 am	Then I found $5 Actually I found $17, frozen in the parking lot. It was one of the many interesting things I did last Thrusday. Thursday started out as laundry day. I had been rushing home from work all week in a vain attempt to beat the other condo dwellers to our shared 2 sets of coin operated washers and driers. Thrusday was my day! Maybe I am stuborn, maybe I am stupid, maybe I am plaqued by demons of landry malfesance. A small red tag adorned one of the washing machines. It said quite matter-of-factly "Service Needed." My instinctive reaction was "Broken, eh? How broken can it be?" Half an hour later my darks were wet and soapy, but definitely neither agitated nor spun dried. Rather than simply transfering the clothes into the working washer, I rinsed them all out in the laundry sink, and left them to dry. I didn't have enough quarters anyhow, for both a second wash and dry. Finally last night the last of the air drying in my condo was complete. The fragrance of laundry detergent surounded me all weekend, as the washed-but-not-dried t-shirts and jeans and hoodies and black socks hung from every imaginable surface. For your consideration, I offer all my wisdom pretaining to laundry: (* is a recently added item) 1. The dryer does not eat socks. I lived without a dryer for a year in Hawai'i, and I still sent matched sets in, recieving singles back out. 2. One's wardrobe does infact follow a Darwinian natural selection process, based on the skills of the launderer. 3. Always check to see that the dryer is empty before you stuff coins in it. I once shoved quarters into a dryer I thought was empty, only to find it filled with women's underware. 4. Iron only shirts can be rescued from the dryer immediately after the cycle completes to prevent the need for ironing - ever. 5. Stuffing more clothes into the machine than it likes makes it angry. I've only caused one washing machine to emit smoke. 6. Battery acid + clothes + washing machine = hole in garmet. Each subsequent wash creates a larger hole. 7. Stuff drys better when it is not wadded up in a ball. Also, hoodies drag the whole mess down. They can air dry while everything else tumbles 8. You don't have enough quarters if you don't have spares.* 9. Don't put money in "out of order" machines.* 10. In a pinch, a bathtub and a big stick will achieve laundry cleanliness. You simply have to want it bad enough. In other news, Behold my fan! Untitled Album Yes, one blade is a different color. I can do stuff like that, I live alone!

11:50 am	Happy Ordinary time! Bear with me as I try to recreate my post composed yesterday, but daftly lost by yours truely. Yesterday I reflected on Christmas, both as a day and as a season.  I think that on the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord made me all introspective.  It made me ask questions like "why do we celebrate Jesus' baptism on the day we used to celebrate His circumcision?"  Likewise, we celebrate Feb.2 as the Presentation rather than the medievil focus on the purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary? Generally, come Pentecost, I am eager to get back into Ordinary Time.  40 days of lent, Holy Week, 50 days of Easter wears me out, and makes me long for Ordinary time again.  Amidst the holidays and family and time off work and the thousand other things going on the past few weeks, I feel like I never really got to integrate the lessons of Christmas into my spirituality.  They are still intellectual ideas, not yet components of my faith.  My pastor did a great job pointing out new truths to me at Midnight mass this year.  There are so many signs in the celebration of Christmas that forshadow the Paschal sacrifice.   Jesus is laid in a manger - a device for holding food for beasts.  Jesus will become the food for our souls.  The Infant is wrapped in swaddling clothes.  These are a symbol of the burial cloths that will wrap Jesus' body for it's 3 day reposition in the tomb.  Feel free to add your own. In other news, I got a fan for Christmas.  This has hearlded the oncoming remodeling of my condo!  My dad came over on Sunday to help run the electrical service.  I cut large holes in my ceilings and wall, and made a general mess of things.  Things are largely put back together now.  Largely. . . I think pictures should be here Untitled Album Yeah, lets give that a try. Pax Current Mood: industrious Current Music: office chatter (Comment on this)

12:04 pm	dreary day I haven't seen the sun since Sunday. . .  Apart from dreary weather, life is pretty good.  Thanksgiving break was exciting - five days (-1 for dress shopping) ofenigma5312, and  [info]evilknightmade a guest appearance at my party too.  Great, now it is stuck in bold. . . I should learn HTML sometime. . .

3:08 pm	slow day I'm sitting at work.  It is the day before Thanksgiving break.  In the past few weeks, every single one of my projects has come due and come to pound me a little every day, all while new and exciting projects are springing up at intervals, while the phone is ringing but not from suppliers with the parts I ordered months ago but rather with project leads asking "when are those parts you ordered months ago getting here," all viewed through the lense that this year my company is transitioning from a finiancial calander to a fiscal calander so no raises or bonuses until next June, (and just about my entire department is out of town), and so I will take a little breather and post. I've been stressed lately.  It is an odd feeling for me, because I somehow managed to avoid stress for most of my rigorious academic career.  I didn't mind working really hard earlier this month, having mistakenly been lead to believe that November was the month for performance reviews and salary increases.  I feel like they took my carrot away.  Many months of finacial planning now have been based on the fact that I would be getting some sort of performance bases bonus at the end of the year.  I guess I'll be making 6 more months of finance charges. It is hard being loaded this much by work, because my brain can only keep so much straight at the same time.  As soon as I memorized all the prayers of th Rosary, I forgot how to do algebra.  Keeping track of my 6 or 7 projects at work has started to impare my ability to keep track of my social calander.  Arriving home exhausted diminshes the energy I have to give to other human relationships.  But as enigma5312 says, if it was supposed to be fun, it wouldn't be called "work," it would be called "super happy fun play time." But, even the stress of work hasn't entirely quenched the joy of work.  Over the past weekend my new parts got installed on the engine of our test locomotive, and today the software got updated in the ECM (engine controll module - the brain of the electronic fuel injection control) to allow the engine to use my new crankshaft positioning system.  At first (with bugs left to be worked out) when the engine hit just over 1500 horsepower, very thick black smoke started pouring out the exhaust.  Not black smoke like what comes out of the smokey garbage truck as it pulls out of your subdivision onto the main drag - black smoke like comes out of a burning oil rig in Iraq.  Ah, good times.  But, the software bug got squished, and the engine came right up to 6800 HP where it lives, and it ran smoother and cleaner than ever.  Six months of design, review, coordination, prototyping, planning, testing, and hard work paid off this morning, and it felt good!  I have left my mark on the H engine (and will spend the rest of my life paying for that if things go wrong!). It is a good way to finish up the short week and start on a nice long break. I'm having a housewarming party on Friday from 2-6.  Stop by if you're in the neighborhood!

2:44 pm	Hanging in/on/out I realize it is about time for my monthly lj update. . . I actually have an excuse though for not updating lately.  When I first moved in, I had free wireless internet provided by a charitable (or naive) neighbor.  However, in the last few weeks that free internet connection is gone.  I now have no internet at home.  No internet, no phone, no TV, no radio . . . its quiet.  Well, its not quiet in the middle of the night when the forced water heating (radiators) start clanking, but apart from that. .  . I am very excited, because today I am driving up to see enigma5312  , which it looks like I'll pretty much be doing every other weekend from now until the end of the year.  We are within a gnat's eyelash of setting a date for the big day, as well as pinning down a location.  I am a little overwhelmed at the thoughts of wedding planning, but am very excited about the marriage planning.  Everyone's favorite Austrialian Shepherd has given us an extensive reading list as part of marriage prep, almost entirely written by JPII.  How did married people get holy before JPII?  (Ok, but what about before St. Josemaria?) Work is going very well.  Today is more computer work than chasing down physical parts work, though I should be doing more of that than I am.  I'm working on a dynamic model of the valve-train of our big engine, which means that I spend 5 minute chunks of time waiting for my computer to churn through stuff.  I think with this run, however, things will be very accurately "roughed out," (only engineers can accurately rough things out), and everything will be in good shape for my departure for the weekend. I pray that all is well with all! Current Mood: productive Current Music: printers, phones, office chatter (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:21 am	All moved in! Thanks to the help of friends and family (thanks celticspectre!) I am getting all set up in my new place.  The living room has been populated with my dad's old couches and my brother's tables (on loan).  The dinning room is an odd mix - it is the kitchen table and chairs from the house I grew up in, and the lamp and Last Supper art from the old dinning room.  The bedroom is sparse - my twin bed hardly fills it at all.  The bike room is still in need of a few bikes and unicycles to really define its space.  The kitchen is stocked, though if you come visit and you don't like water or beer, byob. There is still a lot of unpacking to, and a great deal of small trinket moving from my parent's house.  My tools are waiting to move until the completion of the barn, because then what is in the garage can move out to the barn and my dad can move his tools in so I can get my tools here.  He he, tool. . .

7:45 pm	closed Well, after the 6 weeks of stressing out and calculating budgets and examining finances, the day arrived.  Today I purchased a home. I am the proud new owner of a 850 ft² 1 bedroom condo in a near western suburb.  I started moving in today, but only with the stuff that was in my trunk.  The contents of my condo are as follows: a clean pair of socks a folding chair an ace bandage all the mail that came with the mailbox. Soon, however, I will move my  half-dozen bikes and unicycles, tools (like my new birthday table saw), furnature (of the folding and non-folding variety), myrad of musical instruments.  At some point there might also be clothes, food, and personal hygene items.  That remains to be seen however. So yeah, if you're a guy and need a place to crash near the city, or a lovely lady that wants to come cook in my lovely late 60's styled kitchen, swing on by!

7:08 pm	Everything is bigger down there So last Tuesday (over a week ago now) I was sitting in my boss's cube, and the engine performance group's boss comes to my boss (the engine design and analysis group boss) and says, He says "can I have an engineer to send down to Houston later this week to run tests on the boat?"  My boss replies to this something along the lines of "I was thinking of sending him," refering to me. On Wednesday one of our test engines on site opened up for me to run a test on, so I spent the morning running around gathering equipment and requisit expertise.  Amidst all the running around, it was confirmed that one day later I would be flying to Houston and driving to the Gulf of Mexico, where the JP Laborde, an anchor hauling boat would be waiting for me and the other engineers being sent down. <insert bit about packing data recording equipment, transducers, and requisit cabling into two flight cases that became my checked bagage here> <insert bit about my flight getting canceled Thrusday morning and sitting in O'Hare until midafternoon> <and everything else until we arrived at the dry dock> The dry dock is located in Port Arthur, Texas.  I don't know what mental image you get when you think of a dry dock, but then, I'm not sure that this would match it anyway.  There were random trailers, generators, boat parts, and shipping containers strewn among the overgrown weeds.  The dry dock itself was dwarfed by a floating offshore oil rig located quite obviously not offshore.  It was about 200' tall overall, with the main deck purched about 75' above five floating columns and requisit bracing.  Once the scale of this is absorbed, one can note the dry dock, which was two very, very buff walls about 150 yards apart.  The dry dock was raised, and being used as a dock for the JP Laborde, a 24000 hp (with 4 6000 hp units made by my company)  Anchor Hauling ship scheduled to haul said offshore oil rig down to Brazil this week (and the 7 additional weeks required for the trip).  Engine rooms are interesting places.  Ear plugs are requisit, but the thrum of the engines and ancillary equipment are deafening even through these.  Also, engine rooms are hot.  The ventalation was adequate, if you are standing in front of a vent.  Otherwise, things get hot quickly.  The boat was built in China for people of a smaller stature than myself, so there were many overhanging pipes and vents that came down to my chin or even shoulder.  It was really awesome to meet the people who are using our engines, even though I couldn't communicate with them.  Most of the crew is Brazillian, though the Chief Engineer is British.  Everyone understands a smile and a wave though.

6:46 pm	Work and Play So the past week in my job I found myself more and more running around with giant pieces of paper, taking stuff down to purchasing or over to drafting, etc.  I was doing a tolerance stackup analysis, and I sent a print job to the plotter.  When I got over there, it was busy spitting out a piece of paper 36" wide by about 12 ' long.  Thats a big darn piece of paper!  I decided it would be more useful in a quarter scale plot. But who really wants to hear about work? I'm getting excited because more and more people are returning home.  evilkeightis back now, and we are planning on reliving our old tradition of breakfast.  If you're in the area, do stop by.  enigma5312 will be back really soon, about which I am understandably excited.  Not that much that I do is understandable. . . Take this afternoon for instance.  My dad, brother, and I were starting a "pier foundation" for the barn we are building in the back yard, which involved drilling holes with an auger, so it turns out that an auger, when used properly, doubles as a 5 hp 2 man merry-go-round-of-doom! That's not how they recommend using it, however. Alright, off to help the sister with calculus. . . but that's another story for another day.

11:32 pm	another day, another dollar It was a good kind of week at work - the kind where I mostly knew exactly what I had to do, and was able to just sit down and do it.  Sadly, it was mostly computer work.  But I more than made up for that with my personal persuits of the evening - I changed the oil in my car for the first time.  I realize that there are not many gear heads that read this, so I won't go on a diatribe about how Mazda located the oil filter exactly between the clutch slave cylinder and the brake line block. It was a quiet sort of week.  Monday night I went out unicycling with my brother and friend Nick.  I forget what I did Tuesday.  Wednesday was spent assembling boats for the forthcoming sailing trip.  Last night was a band concert of my just-graduated-high-school-friend, followed by a failed first attempt at the oil change.  And tonight was the successful culmination of both the oil change and assembling the boats.  Car grime is just no match for diesel engine grime.  Car grime comes off with soap and water - I just have to wear the diesel grime until the skin underneath it falls off.  But again, that was one of the criteron of my dream job . . . Probably the high point of the week was that gaudium_et_spes missed his flight sunday night, so got to crash on my floor and go to mass with me monday morning.  It is so very seldom that I get to go to mass with anyone specifically.  Yes, yes, I know you're all there as part of the Ecclesial community - but its nice to have the corporal helps sometimes. When I post again it will be after I've been sailing, so I will be sore and happy. Current Mood: sait Current Music: computer fan and AC (Comment on this)
