Finally hit 5,000 bricks laid in a single day last Tuesday

Been at this 12 years and never cracked 4,500 before, but the crew was clicking and the mortar was perfect. Has anyone else had a day where everything just lined up like that?

Tried using a Kirby Morgan 37 bandmask instead of my old AGA full face mask

Everyone says the KM 37 is the gold standard, but after three dives on an offshore job in the Gulf last month, I kept getting water in my nose. The AGA never did that. Might just be my face shape, but has anyone else had this problem with the KM 37?

Finally caught a lenticular cloud after 3 years of looking up

I kept seeing people post pics of those UFO-looking clouds and calling them lenticular but half the time they were just altocumulus. Last Tuesday near Boulder I saw the real deal with that smooth lens shape and zero shadows underneath. Has anyone else noticed how often cloud names get thrown around wrong?

I used to just take pictures of clouds from my back porch in Tucson.

Then my daughter asked me last week why the clouds over the mountains looked 'wrinkled' and I had to look up what mammatus clouds were. Now I carry a small notebook to write down what I see and try to figure it out later. Does anyone else keep a little cloud journal, or am I just getting old?
