Well, all is well on the work front. We've had a few changes in leadership (yes, even more so than what I mentioned last time), but I think everything is going to work out fine. I'm still the AMI supervisor, still doing AMI supervisor things. I'm trying to open up my office, as I'm getting a little cramped in there.

I went back to Gainesville to recertify my Backflow Tester certification. I never understand why I take the classes, as the only time I touch backflows is when I actually go down there to test them. It's a certificate and a skill though, so I'll take it.
A backflow
In a nutshell, all this doohickey does is prevent water from flowing back into the municipality water system. They have checks and valves in them that have to be tested.
Whenever I take these trips to Gainesville, I always try to see how far I can stretch my fuel. This time I hit a new high with 543.6 miles on one (35 gallon) tank. I think that's about 15.5 MPG.
Speaking of fuel....

Saw this energy drink in the cooler at the local Little Champ (that's what I call every gas station store.), and it had a sign stating you had to be 18 or older to buy one. So of course I bought one.
These guys come in two flavors, neither one that great. The blue raspberry is the most tolerable. The first one I had really worked me up, but the currently do not do anything for me. They've got way more caffeine that a equally sized Redbull, and a whole bunch of other supplements. I still have one every once and awhile, but I'm still sticking with RedBull.
Not much else has happened on the work front, and there are a few things I'm cooking up on the side. We just celebrated Thanksgiving, and Christmas is coming up, so I'm sure there will be more tales to tell.
Until then!
