End of the Rainbow

Humor
One of the things we laughed about here in the Ruminator household is the viral double-rainbow gig. (I really like the parody even better1!)
So, when a friend sent me the image left as a gag, you can only imagine my amusement (or maybe you can’t — tough). The caption read “Another myth shattered… Someone finally managed to photograph the Pot at the end of the Rainbow.”
Such things amuse me.
I just dropped dam-breach analysis number four off on my dropzone for my colleague at the prime contractor to pick up. One more to go. I’ll get started on it in the morning and should finish, or mostly finish, by the end of the day tomorrow. There will be some clean-up work on Saturday, I’m sure. But, the bulk of the heavy-lifting should be done. Now we wait for review comments from the client.
I managed to get my cardio done today. I didn’t do it at the butt-crack of dawn, when I prefer. But, after waking at 0400 and working for a couple of hours, I still didn’t have it in me. The lower-body workout yesterday pretty well toasted the quick-twitch muscles in my legs and they were just a bit pissed at me. So, I gave myself a break and decided to wait until mid-morning when I could take a break from the head-work and do the workout. I almost waited too long; it was pretty warm in the garage by 1000 when I went out there to do the routine.
The remainder of the day was spent on knowledge-work. I’m learning to use some new tools. This is a good thing but it’s a challenge to learn them under the duress of a project deadline. Still, they enable me to be more efficient with my modeling effort and allow me to make prototype models to confirm my hydraulic intuition before committing to a particular cross section layout.
Now, my poor little brain is toasty, my body is pretty well worn out, and I think it’s time to call it a day. I’ll start again in the morning.
1 There is an interview with the double-rainbow guy. Very strange…
Did I know before now you had a blog? If I did, my memory slogged it off. Only so much goes “in” before I kind of tune out.

Sleep well.
LOL! I don’t know if you knew, but it’s all good. I’m coming up on my ninth blogversary. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this so long.
I’m not headed for the rack, yet, but it is time for some downtime so I can recharge for the last big push tomorrow.
Thanks for dropping by! :)

We absolutely couldn’t believe that bit of video. Similarly, we couldn’t believe someone would actually post the video to YouTube. I’m still shaking my head, after watching it a couple of times and wondering what was going on in his head. I don’t think I’ll ever understand. Maybe that’s OK…
