I always wondered how she kept her coffee warm!<\/p><\/div>\n

Our collective carcasses went operational a little before 6:00 am, so we are going to send our timers to the shop for repair.\u00a0 Retired and getting up at 6:00 am?\u00a0 What’s with that??<\/p>\n

Before cleaning up and getting ready to meet the day, I made some dripline modifications.\u00a0 Since we moved six stalks of corn to the patio, we needed some additional irritation in the planter.\u00a0 While Mary trimmed, I worked to make sure the drip system was balanced, and we worked until about 10:00 am, when it was time to get ready to go.<\/p>\n

First, we are off to see the vampire!\u00a0 Yes, I needed another blood test for a doctor’s appointment next week.\u00a0 \u00a0I like visiting my\u00a0phlebotomy technician sometimes known as Elvira!<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday, a name came to mind: John P. Mattei.\u00a0 He was one of my managers in the Shuttle Avionics Development Laboratory back in 1975.\u00a0 \u00a0He took care of test equipment, console design, and all the engineering drawings we needed to hook up to the Shuttle avionics boxes that flowed through our laboratory.\u00a0 He was one of the six managers I had at the time.\u00a0 I looked him up online and tried to call the number, but it was no longer in service.\u00a0 I found out a little later that he was also not in service.\u00a0 John passed in 2014, almost twelve years ago.\u00a0 I was nostalgic and a bit sorry his name didn’t come to me earlier.<\/p>\n
