Burning Paper

On Fridays we usually sleep a bit later, have brunch, do maintenance work and relax. Not today, though, because we opted for the usual scedule with and early breakfast and lunch. The reason for this was that there was again a request from HQ for lunch for a support convoy with at least 30 people. They assured us that this time the convoy really would come - and they did. Some of our guys spent too much time on the sundeck and got sunburnt. Others painted all exposed posts and corners near the driveways black and yellow, so that they would be more visible for the drivers. Still others built an expansion to G4's cage, so that it would have a better chance to choose between sunshine and shade. I spent a while at an empty barrel in the yard burning some of the classified documents that pile up as time passes. They wouldn't burn at first, but that was soon remedied with a dash of diesel.
