Hello friends and Hivians. It's almost a wrap for the first week of December already. I've been so busy with work the last five weeks or so. At times, it's taken its toll on me physically. Often not, when my day ended, it only took me a few seconds to fall asleep in my bed when I finally get there.
I can't even tell you how many aircraft I have loaded and offloaded in the last month. Yesterday, I did one and was supposed to do another. The other came in to be offloaded, but the aircraft ramp is broken, so it can't be worked until it's fixed. We had the coldiest day of the season so far yesterday. The wind was crazy making it even worse than the actual air temperature. After we completed the work, it took me a while to unthaw. It was the perfect day for my lunch choice though.
I decided to go to a Vietnamese noodle shop and get some of their delicious hot soup in me. I have been here before and let me tell you there not skimpy on portion sizes. For a small restaurant, the ambience is not that bad as well. Nice marble countertop tables and fairly comfortable chairs to sit down at. The service was friendly and accommadating.
I started out with an appetizer. The last time I visited here I got some egg rolls. I decided this time to change it up and try their spring rolls. Oh, what a treat and I wasn't expecting them to be so fullfilling. It included lettuce, fresh cilantro, rice vermicelli, sliced pork, and shrimp all wrapped in a thin softened rice paper. It was served with a sweet tasting peanut dipping sauce. I only ate one as I wanted to save room for the soup. The cost of this was $5.95.
I got the small sized Pho Tai soup which was delicious. The Soup is a Beef (Bo) Rice noodle soup with rare steak well done. It was served with bean sprouts, cilantro, jalapeno slices and a lime. It felt like a never ending bowl, it contained a lot of noodles and had quite a few pieces of steak. I only finished about half of it. It's been really difficult for me to eat a lot with the medication I'm on. The soup set me back at $12.45. I left with to go containers with the soup and the remaining spring roll. I had again for lunch today.
It's good that Friday has arrived. Yes, one more aircraft was worked today. Just an offload that only took us a little over an hour to take care of. The good is the schedule ahead is much less than what it has been. Just in time as Christmas and New Years approach. It will also be nice to spend a little more time on Hive too 😃 The weather this weekend is supposed to heat up near 60° F from being under freezing temperature for over a week. I'm hoping by Sunday the water on the lakes will be ice-free. Well, in case you're wondering why I hope for this it is because I want to go fishing for the last time this year 😃
Tonight I have plans to go to a basketball game with my son. He wants to watch his former high school team play. As for the rest of the weekend, maybe some cleaning around the house and perhaps even go on a date. As I mentioned already, hopefully, on Sunday, I'll be catching some fish.
That is all that I have for you this time. Take care, stay safe and enjoy the weekend. Until next time!
Oh finally!!! Hard weeks have past and now better days are coming! You have worked hard really but it's good to see now you enjoy good food, and soon warm weekend and more basketball moments with your son. Enjoy a lot, have fun and relax!!!!

Your job of loading and offloading planes must be an interesting job. And it keeps you so occupied during the day that you have no problems falling asleep at night. The way you spent the first week of December is not bad. We hope the coming weeks will be better. Also I gotta say that's some real yummy meal you had. Have a nice weekend.
Most of the time I drop once i hit the bed because I work a lot of irregular hours. The weeks ahead will defintely be better as the schedule is less busy. It was a good lunch, love some hot food on cold days 😋
Oh, that is a lot of work you had recently, I hope the upcoming weeks will indeed be less busy. Great you had Vietnamese food, hot soup is perfect when it is cold. Take care!
Yes, the weeks ahead look good. Love me some warm food on cold days 😃
You are such a busybee, you deserve to have a heart and delicious foods everyday, so its good you are not depriving yourself for having such yummy foodies, ehe. The spring rolls looks yummy and fresh, if you want a healthy food, that one is surely perfect. Give me your leftover please, you didn't eat it all right 🤤✨🤪🤪
Ready to be a lazybee in RL 😄 Yes the spring roll defintely yummy and on the healthy side. Leftovers all gone now 😋

Ah egg rolls we call them spring rolls. But unloading those planes in winter must be hard work. Good luck on your date!
Yup at a few places egg rolls are called spring rolls here too. It depends on where, hehe. Yup have to come up with the where and when for the date. Not the first one so no pressure, haha.
A soup like this is perfect for warming up. In addition to spaghetti it is another dish I love. You're getting to know my menu 😁.
Amigo, I know you are very dedicated to your work but don't overdo it. Your health comes first.
You'll go fishing, yes, you'll catch something hahaha.... joke.
Thanks Amiga :-) 👀 I had spaghetti about a week ago at home, hehe.
Hopefully the fish God's will grace me 🙏
You made me crave Pho! It's rainy season and perfect for it. By the way, I am wishing you a great weekend!
Thank you I hope you have a great weekend as well. Yes, I was pleased with my lunch and it felt like the perfect choice to have a break during a cold day.
Pho is one of my absolute favorites! A habit I picked up back when I dated a Vietnamese girl many long years ago. I hope the weather warms up and that the schedule gets less hectic. I know how the military works all too well. Enjoy the game tonight and catching those fish tomorrow!
Pho sure is delicious even more so when the weather is colder. The busy schedule has come to an end , well for the time being anyways, haha. It was 62 today suppose to be warmer tomorrow hard to believe it's December with these temps here.
Looks appetizing and delicious. But expensive also for me😂. But Knowing you have some leftovers for lunch then maybe it's ok😁.
Weekend is here, I hope you have time to chill and relax😌.
It is a bit on the expensive side but is expected here because pho isn't everywhere here. I haven't had to work a weekend for a bit. That and itself is relaxing, haha 😄
!PIZZA
Went fishing?😌
Yes bad experience fishing wise. A lot of ice on water. About to hang up been fishing for an hour no bites
Hehehe😂😂
Still a good day 😃
😛😛
I salute to you, @coolmidwestguy
You are so hardworking. You deserved to have that delicious spring roll and hot soup for lunch, especially since the weather in your place right now is cold.😊
Thank you I'm so glad things have slowed down at work. It's got me back to doing somethings I enjoy 😃
