once again

Travel covered all the modes.

It was a hectic mess trying to get out though. Super hectic.

Left in a rush. Cut down the backpack contents even more at the office, still a bit full.

Ran/walked down the hill to the train, bought a ticket, walked down on to the train. It was fucking roasting hot in there and after the effort to get on I was sweating. Then Brent and his wife got on and we traveled together from the through security. Good chat and catch up with them on the train.

Trying to buy a Charlie Ticket was annoying. I should get the app or card or something maybe. Took four? tries.

Then the SL1 bus took forever to get there. And was absolutely packed with everyone waiting. Then traffic, of course. Security was a breeze. Shoes got left on, the guy on the one end was grumpy about me asking to hand screen 400 speed film but he handed it off and the guy doing the screening was cool and happy to do it.

Walked in opposite directions from Brent at that point and early. But the next train would have been too close.

Almost the last person to board the plane, row 15 middle seat, Brown student next to me really small guy on the aisle. It wasn't terrible. I was too tired to read my book, but couldn't sleep. Played in the phone for a while, then watched some TV with CC because I forgot to pack a set of 3.5mm headphones, then watched a movie that didn't have CC. And sometime around there the plane started getting really warm. That little air nozzle not doing much. And then we were so early we had to sit on the plane for 30-40 min waiting for our gate to open. Then a long trek to the arrivals pickup that was absolutely jammed full, then up to departures that wasn't and hopped in and headed here to my Sister's place.

Felt like I was sleeping in, birds going, light out, but no, wasn't that early but headache was starting and I needed coffee. So I got up, and am sitting outside about ready to go on and make cup number 3.

Was a crazy day. Now I'm here. I have a hitch to install on their Mach E at some point, and the nieces and my sister to hang out with whenever they wake up.

Going to be an interesting and I'm guessing emotional week. But I did pack the film camera and I'm hoping to get some shots of family at least.

Time for more coffee
