like bringing a corn dog to a knife fight

I faced the world a bit stronger this past week.

Made it to the weekend without total mental exhaustion.

Accomplished a few internally set tasks.

I have stopped asking the "why" of things and have attempted to

live more within the moment. 

To recognize when pleased at the smaller things.

I do remain grappling with the future.

Reading the news, any news, now is

I am still in the process of devouring the Rostnikov series

of books via my Paperwhite.

There are a dozen of them.

I am reading them at night prior to sleep,

at work when on a break. 

When completed I will start over and read 

them all again. 

Antarctica and Omega Speedmaster watches.

I felt a bit more capable with my watch skills by

repairing my Braun Chronograph yesterday.

It now functions although the chronograph reset function

is one second off true.

I plan on enjoying it functioning this week and then

address the off true return problem.

I've managed to complete the physical segment of my flight simulator project.

I re-manufactured my Sony laptop to the singular

purpose of flight simulation.

Arranged an area in the nerd cave specifically 

to house the physical requirements and

I also obtained two additional simulation programs.

The first centered on modern combat aircraft

Lock-On

The second new simulator features the aircraft of

World War One, called
Rise of Flight.

I've yet to have an opportunity to try either of these programs,
or to set controls, and operating systems.

I am hoping to get the time and opportunity to attempt

to set-up and become more familiar with these programs.
