Chugging through the rain.

The day started hot and humid, as they generally seem to here, but the last couple hours took a spin into the wily world of wacky weather and dropped a bunch of rain on us basically until we were packing up to leave. We had a good day nonetheless, however, and I think the whole shoot continued moving in a good direction. I enjoyed dinner with several of the guys here in the hotel before calling it a night.

Busting through the pile.

It was a fairly productive day in basically every way. I think the family made progress, the cleaners and organizers made progress, and the camera crew caught most of the action along the way. A few of us went out for dinner after work this time and enjoyed our meals at a nearby restaurant. It was a nice way to end the day.

Last day before cleanup begins.

It felt a bit slower than the previous days but was still just as important. I don't remember seeing a single cloud today so that was weird but the heat didn't destroy us as much as I would have thought it could have. We got done a bit early which was also nice. Dinner was good and it was a relaxing evening to follow. My arm hurts a little bit from my workout but that is pretty normal. Tomorrow should be fun.

The day of droning.

It was another solid day of b-roll except today included a bunch of landmark and action drone shots. There wasn't any rain so that was nice. It was quite hot and humid, though, even more so than yesterday. The bugs were a bit more of a nuisance as well. I drove the Uhaul truck back to the hotel today so that was a little different as well. Only three of us met up for dinner but it was delicious as usual. A solid ending to the day.

The wonderful world of humidity.

It was a little bit of a slow start but I felt pretty decent for most of the day. It was a very hot and humid day but we got through it as we usually do. One thunder storm passed through for about an hour. All in all a good start to things.

I forgot my usual journal. Ugh.

So this will take its place while I am on my work trip for the next eight or nine entries.

I somehow got up early so I could head to Chad's to drop off my car as usual. I caught my Uber into the airport and met up with Jay and Jon for our flight to Alabama. We had a layover in Dallas on the way but otherwise the travel was easy and normal. I did chat with an older gentleman on the short leg here which is somewhat unusual for me. His name is Neal and he seemed like a quality chap. Our crew met Chelsea in Alabama before coming back to the hotel for dinner before calling it a night.

Thus is the usual format of my hand-written journal entries. Pretty boring and basic but it still feels like a basically accurate record of my day. I might add in a couple general thoughts from time to time, somewhat like my old musings in this particular journal used to, though that remains to be seen considering my expected energy levels at the end of each work day while I am here. Fun times ahead for sure!
