Wow today was a fun day. I had duty the night before That means I stayed up for almost 24 hours. Catching 30 minute to one hour naps here and there, but otherwise reporting in every 2 hours that none of the boats have floated away. I would have gone home at 0800 as is customary but Mc said that he might need me at the 1st class association's fund raiser. So instead of going home I caught some ZZZZZ's in one of the aluminum chambered boats that we have parked in the back yard. Stobaugh said that he couldn't believe I could sleep in there, but I guess he's never been in deck before. As long I have a pillow I can sleep on non-skid.
The fund raiser was a hamburger and hot dog sale in the compound. Mc, Roper, and I, took turns flipping burgers. Whenever Mc wasn't flipping burgers he was throwing pattys on the grill so I guess only Roper and I were being relieved from smoke inhalation.
It was amazing the amount of traffick we had for burgers. I had serious doubts at first because the entire compound is gearing up for hell week. Once the smoke started to waft out from the grill though all personel not involed in cooking or serving was upon us. Our biggest seller was the burgers, not a one was left. Usually, from the vets, our burger sales last from 1030 to 1300, but this time we ran out of burgers an hour earlier.
When all was cleaned up and return to its original position, and all the spare items stowed away we loaded the sodas into Mc SUV and headed back to the shop. Where I immediately switched into civvies and headed home. When I reached the house I went straight to sleep, and remained in that comatose state until 1800.
