Great ABT(s). ...and great attitude.
Unfortunately, like Mike, I am one of the ones who is sitting at home due to ...well, Chris asked us not to get political so I refrain... At any rate it's kinda uncool to be called "nonessential" after spending 30 yrs of your life in service to the country (Military + Civil).
So, I am getting some stuff done around the house. Also getting a chance to cook quite a bit: Weds was Ribs, Thurs was Jerky, today is Pulled Pork and I am brewing my Brown Ale.
Hopefully, by the time the Ale is ready to drink, I'll be sittin at work wishin I had one cause all the catch up work I have stacked up.
Dwain, I sure hope you along with the rest of the furloughed folks get back to work soon ... like Oct 7th soon! I don't like the phrase "FURLOUGH", it sounds like a vacation! Anything but. And I'm with you on the "non-essential" tag... I'm 5 days from my 29th year of service myself, all as a civil servant (or "civilian soldier" as one of my previous Commanders affectionately called us 'civies'').
Speaking of time in service: Thank YOU very much, my friend, for your service to this great country! Military personnel are THE reason I've dedicated my career life to the government. Can't support a better cause imho.![]()
