Practically Brown

I slept in today a bit and then went to Mole to clean the stage and check on the Carbon Arc. John in the art department ordered pizza for everyone today because Patrick's last day is Friday. Patrick Lee Brown(or Practically Brown as he calls himself) has been with Mole for almost 16 years, but recently got married in August and has decided to move on. It was sad, I am gonna miss Pat's humor and the goofy voices he makes when answering the phone sometimes. As a parting gift, he put together a complete Mole catalogue for me with all the sales, rental, and parts info together in one 3-ringed Mole-Richardson binder.
Big Mike came over and quizzed me by having me start the van generator on DC and then had me strike the arc. I passed. We were trying to spot the problem we were having on Tuesday with the smoking wire, it turns out there is a loose connection in the fuse that us built into the cable, the arc is fine. I sat outside eating pizza and talking to Mike for a bit, he gave me his card and told me to call him if I ever had questions while on a shoot.
I came home, played some video games, checked my e-mail, and watched a bit of A Streetcar Named Desire before forcing myself to go to bed.

PhillM tip-of-the-day:
If you an electric, it's always a good idea to carry at least one regular photo-flood bulb with you. You never know when if will come in handy for a china ball, gem ball, or practical.
