Bird bath


So there I was on a late Friday night, operating all the wonderful machinery that the air force so wisely trusts me with, and I end up with a migraine.

Again.

We're conducting some training using the fueling system on the aircraft, when suddenly I am DRENCHED... in Jet fuel. This stuff is heinous. It dissolves cotton, if that's any indication to what it did to my skin...

And the fumes... oh lordy the fumes.

My head still hurts and my eyes are a beedy thousand mile stare red.

JP8 is the stuff, it's pretty close to pure kerosine- which is lovely all on its own. I'm just glad there wasn't fire, or I would be significantly more pissed off.

I'm glad its a long weekend, I can't make myself do anything, I'm keeping the lights off.
