One Step Closer

Be a man!
Latest SOGM activity: move a log pile and stack it. (last night)
You might be thinking carry a few logs at a time to a set location not far away and stack them neatly.
No. We had a water-bucket line spanning 40 feet and we were throwing the logs. It's awfully manly and awesome. And it's outside, just under 30 degrees, but we were sweating.
Follow that up with a man meal of pork chops, and its rounded out.

I also had a club council meeting. They asked, "Does the finance committee chair have a report?"
No.
"Does anyone have any questions for the finance committee chair?"
Nothing happens.
(meeting director) "I have one. When is your first meeting?"
When I get the contact information for those on my committee.

Classic.

Frustrating: when professionals just blow you off. I've made a bunch of calls to various engineering and service firms. One said that they'd respond by today. Nothing. One said that they would contact the firm where the report I was looking for originated. They later called back, said that the person who could help me was out until the end of next week. Besides, "everything that I need is on our website." I called them back less than an hour later, left a message, and have yet to hear back.
The response that I most respect is the response of the originating firm, "you have to call our client to release that information. We can't. Sorry." That may be a no, but it's an understandable no.

Ah, but I am one step closer to letting you see what's going on around me. I took a couple pictures. The next step is to actually put them on my computer. I'll get there. I swear.
