Yeah, I know, I skipped another day. But I have a reason, not an excuse.
Yesterday was not an optimal day for travel. I’m not sure if I mentioned it, but Friday and Saturday nights, Lisa and I were awoken with the site of spectacular lightning shows. It was a little nuts, and I think I mentioned to you that we likely lost one of our internet connections during the storm, most likely due to an electrical irregularity.
Lightning counts as an electrical irregularity, right?
My 9:17 flight to Chicago was going to be late. Interestingly enough, the 7:10 flight Chicago had not yet left the gate, so I was rebooked onto that flight. My luggage, apparently, was not. So when I finally arrived in Fargo, I arrived. My clothes for today’s delivery did not.
I had a pretty good day, but I think I need to retool a few things for tomorrow. And here comes “weird analogy time”.
I’m a fan of Craig Alanson’s “Expedition Force” series. The first book is called “Columbus Day”. Anyway – spoiler alert – part of the storyline has to do with an AI that is ancient, and sometimes explains things in a fashion that the human lead character cannot understand. To get past that communication problem, Joe asks the AI (Skippy) to break things down in a fashion JOe can understand. Do to some earlier events in the book, that simplification gets referred to as “breaking it down, Barney style”.
The book series alone is good enough to justify that terminology, and, yes and no, it does have something to do with what you might be thinking, but I can guarantee you, it’s a little more complicated than that.
So… I’ve got a plan.
I’m going to break it down, Barney-style.

I love my job. I was joking with one of my peers yesterday that I have the second-best job in the world. I told him that he had the first, as he hadn’t plateau’d, whereas I had.
I’m a trainer. I like to teach people how to use tools.
Tools.
I owe another co-worker a bit of gratitude for giving me “Tools” as a callsign. He’s a full bird, so I have to confess that there’s more than a little bit of cachet to that honor.
OK, I’m about tuckered out tonight. I’ve got a little bit to think about, and some other things to consider.
I hope you’re day goes well.
Peace y’all.
