I have been pretty busy of late. Yesterday was some badly needed yard work. The weed eater started on the second pull. That's a first if you know my struggles with that machine. I have spent a very large amount of time in front of this PC, much more than usual and none of it was for posting here. I have been consumed by getting our church security team up and running. Finishing up final details, i.e emails, duty explanations and then the very time consuming scheduling. I have a very limited number of men I can draw from, and they are also tasked with various duties other than security. So I have to verify from a standing schedule of duty assignments and then build my schedule, it is mind numbing. We instituted the plan this past Sunday. I already had one conflict this past Sunday, and I was the one that was in conflict LOL. I am sure there will be others. Hopefully one of the men is working on a scheduling software that will eliminate this tedious issue. He says it should be ready in 2-3 months. Then I was told he has been working on it for 2 years. So maybe not. The plan worked pretty well. I had a lot of questions directed toward me too. I also found out a lot of the men never even checked their email. Others had issues with the attachments. So some scrambling resolved some of that. I was a tired, worn out lump by the time the late evening rolled around.
I will attend a class put on at the police department of the town our church is located in this Saturday. It is for civilian active shooter response. I am hoping to learn even more that may be implemented in our security plan. It is a nationally recognized course from what I understand. It will be a lengthy class, from 9-2. I hope I can sit that long without too much trouble.
I don't see any real slow down in the coming days. 'K' wanted to head to the coast and spend a night there for a break in our routine we have been hoping for......Tomorrow. I had already planned to take her on a short road trip near us. So she liked that idea. I didn't tell her where or what hoping to surprise her a little. I mean a very little. It's not a big deal at all. Just a quick trip to a nearby farm that raises her favorite flower and lets folks in to see and probably buy. See, not a big deal but she is easily pleased.
Happy Trails

Rule of thumb from back in the day... email and text message, if no response, a phone call. And I'd have a phone tree set up for those on the security team. Enjoy the day off, so to speak!
