What you see at sea

Today started too early after a late night, but it was made more bearable by the fact that tomorrow is a day off.  There wasn't a could in the sky this morning and we were actually able to see the sun come up over the mountains.  It made it a little bit brighter this morning without the cloud cover.  I went to work and it was mostly slow with spurts of a few things to do.

The morning kinda drug on by but it was finally over and I came home for lunch.  I looked out the window as usually and saw something kinda funny out in the channel between our island and the next island over.  It was an animal swimming out there.  Not a usual marine animal like the seal that was swimming around the harbor, but it was a deer.  He had a guy in a boat following him to make sure he made it all the way to our island without drowning.  I put the binoculars up to see what kind of head gear he was sporting (my inner hunter coming out, even though its been suppressed out here) and he just had what looked like two spikes between the ears.  I still wasn't sure because my binoculars are not the greatest at all.  It wasn't until I looked at the pictures that I was able to say it was actually a buck.  He continued and finally came onshore on the spit.  He climbed up the rocks and stood on the end to catch his breath and continued going.  It would have been a good lunch break had I had a rifle out here.  I could have re-filled our freezer from the deck.  I went out to the beach to see if I could find out where he was going.  He was walking south on the beach and disappeared among the rocks.

The afternoon at work was more of the same as the morning.  I did a few x-rays and took a little bit of blood but nothing to majorly exciting.  I came home early and watched some TV and tried calling some friends.

Tonight we are going to have tacos, and then it is off for some more phase 10.  I won last night if Sonja forgot to mention that.  My not so secret alliance has been kicking butt recently.

It turned out to be a really nice day out today.  It started with frost on the ground to remind me of home and ended close to 10 degrees outside and sunny.  Its too bad the weather probably won't stick around till tomorrow.
