Done Here But Not Done There.

My duty at Camp Pendleton has come to a conclusion. It started rather boring, as most of my duty here has been standing watch on a patient. I do it with no complaints. Someone has to do it. Just stupid knowing there is additional staff that can handle this job letting me concentrate on patients and  learn and brush up on skills. However a few nights later we were so busy on the floor that it was non stop work for over 12 hours. I pretty much got to do a little bit and see a little bit of everything, from good to bad. I always get a little attached to a patient and this time was the wife of a Marine Captain. I did get used to the night shift rather quickly. I actually prefer this shift over any other shift.

Looks like my buddy "J" is not done yet. He never will and that is a truly good thing. My buddy "J" decided to go out and do a 40k time trial. All I got back in reply was that he didn't go fast. Really! There I was following the news streams seeing if any 40k time trial world records have fallen. Those days are over. You can't just go out and try to pull of a decent 40k time in the shape he is. At my age now I do sort of admire those 40 year old guys going out training daily and hammering at races. I should pull out my road bike and get some riding done one day. I have no excuses.

In the area I was staying is home of the 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion. Pictured is one of the many AmTracs. Wish I have gotten a picture of them doing drills in the bay. These things are awesome.
