Mid June...
Ah, mid June... Cold... Dark... and halfway to Mainbody!
Celebrated our annual "BLACK OPS" party on the 11th, coincidentally Heathers Birthday (here's a picture of Heather when she was only 3)
Heather and I celebrated in usual form...
Yes, the woman in red is Heather... I went for the more subdued/refined look of the mad scientist.
Anyhow, the Black Ops party came about as a result of all the UFO talk about Antarctica, made famous by both the X-files movie and Art Bell radio show about Antarctica. There are also any number of Antarctica UFO connections online...
Nazi UFO's
and more UFO's...
And even MORE UFO's!
Crazy/funny stuff!
So this coming weekend we have an unprecedented extra day off! Yep, another REAL 2 day weekend!! WHOO HOO! To mark the occasion we're having our mid-winter dinner on Saturday the 18th. Great food, great friends, great fun! I'm sure to have some pictures of that to post.
Still waiting on a final verdict for the IRS case although that could come any day. Our lawyer told one of our claimants over the phone that he recently ran into the IRS lawyer for our case and that the IRS lawyer, "congratulated" him for his work on the case! We're hoping that's a good sign of a positive verdict to come!
Heather and I have also put in to work in California for the USAP Program. This is a new project that has yet to be fully approved but if it happened and we were selected we'd be working in Port Hueneme...
Port Hueneme is just north of Los Angeles in the Oxnard area near Santa Barbara.
We'd be helping to receive the incoming cargo that goes on our resupply vessel down here. This would be from mid-October to mid-December and give us free accomodations, rental car and company gas card, per deim for food as well as our current rate of pay, plus overtime for anything above 8 hours a day! Not a bad deal and could be the downpayment we need on our first house in New Zealand!
While we're not too excited about working extra on our time off Ice, this would likely be a one time deal for us and a backup plan should we lose the tax case. If you gotta do it, it's not a bad way to go!
