Working on the weekend? At least it's not "work" work, though on the other hand, that means I'm not getting paid for it, either. There is quite a lot of yard work to be done, plus shopping for a family member's birthday.
Naturally, Tam chose to spend all night online, and so will not be available to help until much later. I woke at five a.m., as old ladies do, and she was still at it, probably one of her marathon writing sessions. Which was in all likelihood more necessity than choice: her review work is extremely weather-dependent, since you can't chronograph on an indoor range. A few days of rain or the range being unavailable at the wrong time makes for frantic catching-up later.
An hour and a half later when I got up for the day, she'd finally got her head down. Our schedules diverge so radically that we just don't cross paths much any more.
I am about to head into a couple of weeks of intense work at my day job, sunrise-to-sunset six days a week until complete, so getting a head start on the yard is a necessity. I'd just as soon stay in bed half the day, but that's not going to help.
They are expensive but radar chronograph work indoors just fine. Also, some chronographs have their own lights and can be made to work indoors by shielding them from fluorescent light sources.
ReplyDeleteNot really useful to a "self-unemployed writer," as she likes to say; and she can't get downrange at the nearby indoor range due to insurance restrictions.
ReplyDelete"self-unemployed" being the blocker to my suggestion of using the radar chronograph. These devices don't require that you go downrange which was the reason I parted with that much money.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you guys know someone who would loan her a LabRadar chronograph? I certainly would if she were local to me.
