alexpgp | Getting the truck tomorrow...

Well, the Execute Package folks won't have this guy to kick around for the rest of the year. Today was a pretty light day, but the Russian side added some spice to it by sending radiograms over in HTML for the first time in living memory.

This confused some people, as the whole information hierarchy is designed to use Microsoft Word files, but I fed the newly arrived files to Dreamweaver that was installed on a machine sitting over in a corner near the ops planners, and everything worked like a champ. Dreamweaver appears pretty intuitive, and it wasn't as if there were any fancy parts to the files (the fanciest part was the inclusion of a rather amateurish graphic to commemorate the New Year and the New Millennium).

Anyway...got to get the truck tomorrow, and Galina has folks on tap to load it tomorrow in the late afternoon and evening once I get off my final shift for the year (air-to-ground). I figure it should take no more than 3 hours to get the furniture on board, and then I can button up any details on Sunday.

With any luck, I'll be on the road on Sunday afternoon and will be able to put a couple of hundred miles behind me on the way to Colorado. OTOH, it will mean meeting the New Year - and the new millennium, if you believe that stuff - apart from Galina. Sure, it's all for a good cause (our future), but the prospect still rankles.

Then again, the prospect of pushing myself to put miles behind me on the first rankles even more.

Off to the mall for some last-minute shopping.

Cheers...
