Family gathering, shirt buying, washing machine hose replacement and clean, cooking, and maybe fix a bit of jewellery. Gym on Sunday.

Family coming over for lunch and I'm doing a (variation on) porcetta. I've got a lovely piece of pork belly which has been airdrying in the fridge since yesterday morning. Should be cracking crackling. If the weather holds I'll do it on the rotisserie on my Kamado Joe.

If you like a barbecue (or a barbie, bbq, or braai) come and join us at Cooking With Fire. We need more regular posters!

Work.
I'm currently sitting in a minibus near an industrial port in the middle east, waiting for the crewboat to arrive. It's taking me on a 10 hour ride for me to board a ship pretty much in the middle of the Persian gulf. I will most likely be on board tomorrow and finish up what I'm doing the same day.
Then it's a short transfer to another ship nearby where the same job awaits.
If timing works out I will head back to shore on Sunday, arriving very early Monday. Then it's a few days of chill before my return flight on Thursday.

Damn, how's the pay for a job with those travel requirements?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Pretty decent. Similar to other offshore roles with specialization.

My mom's birthday :> I'm a little sad as I'd hoped to have a surprise party for her, but I had to move unexpectedly and it took most of my savings. But hopefully she'll enjoy dinner with a couple of her kids.

ETA also downloaded a geography quiz to take in my idle time. I didn't really get the K-12 education that's expected in the US, and I've always wanted to do better, but I can't seem to study anything in a way that sticks. But I noticed I've gotten pretty good at word games and sudoku lately, so maybe I just need to make it a puzzle.

Supposed to go visit some lithium springs this morning as soon as I get my poop in a group.

On my way back home from a climate protest. Defo some cooking later, working on translations for a project over the weekend. Probably some gaming, too.

The dealership where I bought my car is having an unveiling event for a new 2025 model with free food and giveaways. I’m going just for the free lunch and maybe win some stuff. lol

I'm hoping to figure what anime to start off with, and hopefully enjoy that. Bonus points if it rains too.

It's supposed to rain here all weekend so working outside is probably out. I might finally do some gaming after months of not.

I need to get a new video edited and posted by Sunday afternoon.
