Damn. Really got outta the habit there, didn' I?
Had to duck out there for a while back last week - seems my aunt passed away. Never did have occasion to figure I'd need to take a trip like that... well, anyhow, if you all were wonderin' about the clutter 'round the shop, that'd be why. I oughta get it all sorted out here in the next couple days.
'Course, if it ain't one thing it's another - I get back here and all of a sudden all my equipment's dyin' on me. Lost two sentries already this week just to mechanical failure - first had some kinda intermittent short in the circuitry, had to gut it to salvage much of anything from the damn thing, and now there's that other one from today. I'd blame the humidity, but out here it ain't doin' much. Guess they just don't make these things like they used to.
Then again, there's always sabotage. Taking into account the heterodox predilection of some people to stick their darned nose in places they don't belong... wouldn't be surprised. I'll be keepin' a close eye out, anyhow.
That's all I got for ya today. Haven't been around much in the evenings lately—got a special project I'm workin' on for Demo that keeps me busy. Still, 'f you manage to catch me around base, don't hold yourself back. I, uh, might not be the most flawless conversationalist, but I can listen all right, even considerin' the occupational noise exposure we get around here.
