An orange in an apple orchard
By country so far… (lmao)
The wonders of the Internet…. lol; what next, people from France and Australia?
Between carting crap uo/down stairs, carting crap to and from the car (another set of stairs), and extra crap to do (a third staircase); I’ve just survived 38 trips up and down stairs, in about 6-12 trip bursts during ~3 hours time lol.
To top it off, when I took Willow for a walk she just had to go for a run instead… Ever seen a grown man dragged by a Chihuahua? LOL.
I really need to give tpsh the ability to use $HISTFILE to save/restore the ReadLine history between sessions…
Grr!!! Even when I can finally sleep, I can’t sleep. Fell asleep earlier after dinner, got woken up and then staggered off to bed; now I’m awake again and more tired.
And the dogs got all the covers! *sigh*, there is just no winning in this place lol.
And *now* I can pass out…. lol
I was like a zombie at work yesterday, by the time I got home it was a splitting headache and felt like someone had kicked my bodies equilibrium on its side. Like working until burned out, then re-burn the burn out and keep marching :. Crashed in front of the TV and went to bed early… work wasn’t so bad today. What pissed me off is being re-tasked to reconnoiter a new grocery store on the way home -> I freaking hate shopping! I also don’t appreciate being made late…
I just got though with a training session, kind of organized chaos I guess but that’s thanks to my shitty work schedule. I conducted a deeper level of stealth training then we usually go into, and I used Ghost Recon to do it; JB, Noer, (at end) Ghost, Ambu, Carter, Decapi, Hostile, and Chester. I tried to iron it out how issues of rules of engagement, positioning, observation, reporting, and coordination of movement/fire command could be used to make the most of covert actions. After we did the training scenarios (ambushes, infil, etc), we moved on to a “shoot your instructor” scenario; where they had to sneak up behind me with MP5SD’s and go for the CQ kill. The trick was, I was on patrol with an AK and weapons free to shoot at anyone I saw trying to sneak up the hill hehe. I was a little disappointed with how long it took (I scored 2 kills, but 1 was probably a glitch) but overall very impressed with their effort (especially JBs). It was very, very pleasing to see them complete that scenario so well.
What can I say, I borrowed that one from U.S. sniper training and simplified it for our gaming environment lol.
With how long it took between setup and intermissions (note to self: be more strict), we didn’t get time for the RvS or S4 portions, considering the big attendance maybe that can do for session 2 next week; whatever. Really I should have just laid down for a nap after work but it was a good 3 or 4 days prep into the session, and one of them days where almost everyone’s there at just the right time.
Right now, I ain’t moving until the foods on the table – unless I’m snoring on my feet in the process!!!
notes to self:
commit and push changes to ~/.screenrc
continue evaluation of weechat
finish tweaks to .fvwm/config
commit and push changes to ~/init.sh
good news: I get to conduct some training sessions soon
bad news: I go back to work Tuesday 🙁
So fscking tired…
Nothings up, so I setup GR and ran though a mission: first map of Desert Siege with the Sabre Teams mod active.
Equipped myself with a Diemaco SFW-SD, basically a Canadian M4 with SD, Scope, and M203. Crept through the darkness slow and steady, moving taking it as I would actually do it; instead of running headless chicken. All went well, basically made it into the enemy encampments before I was detected and they hardly knew what hit’em hehe. All the way pro, until I was creeping into a small room and saw an X-Ray unawares behind the door; tried shooting him through the seam of the hinge, but no go. So I backed out FAST, shut the door and moved around to his other flank…. open door, lean out, and plugged a M203 bomblet close to him -> lights out turkey!
Normally I wouldn’t do that, but GR utterly sucks and blows for tactical aids…. lol. Scouted out the last encampment, looked good, made ready to drop one of the sentries when my M203 fires… lol. A mistake that wouldn’t happen in real life, because you can feel the difference in triggers; but very easy in game when memory and HUD is all you’ve got to go on instead of memory and tactile senses.
Bugged out and out flanked the enemy counter attack, then moved up like a sniper in the night; nearly lost my head paying more attention to Willow barking like a nut, then moving in on for the kill.
Almost secured the entire map night creeping around, but there was this one bastardo around the building…. searched around before going up, only to realize we must’ve been playing cat and mouse for the last 8 minutes -> as the 2nd to last X-Ray shot me in the back of the head lol.
when stuck playing alone, night ops and an SD rifle help even the odds lol.
