Anyone know what the above acronym means? First person to post the correct answer in a comment will get a treat. 🙂
Not much happened today. I took some decent photos, the boat’s internet was down for most of the day, and I didn’t hear from Lisa. She doesn’t have internet access at our new house yet, so I assume that for the next few days she’ll be electronically silent. That’s a real downer for me, as I live always for her next e-mail.
Meals around here are hit and miss. Lunch was a miss. I had to supplement the meal (cabbage, the worst canned sqaush I’ve ever tasted, and some other assorted inedibles) with two pieces of cake just to make my calorie count for the afternoon. Dinner was a hit. Ribs and homemade macaroni and cheese* and some darn fine cornbread.
Saw the sun for the first time in a while this afternoon. I went out on the flight deck after working hours to do a little weight training and enjoy the sun and the sea spray. Now, at 9:35 p.m., the sun is probably still up, but I’m not going to go outside and see it because my body feels like it’s almost bedtime, and I don’t want to shatter that illusion.
I played Ghost Recon 2 this evening with the guys I live with. They’re pretty good. They play all the time because there’s not a lot else to do when you’re off work.
Off to bed I go! I may try to read a short mystery story from a compilation I brought (thanks Jill!).
Sweet Dreams,

Nova Scotia Taxpayer Return……
HOw about Naval Sea Technical Representative?
Auntie Becky
I like Nova Scotia Tax Return.
Hmmmmm, I have a few guesses:
Nailed Scrotum to Rocks? (I hope that didn’t happen to you – and think it probably didn’t, seeing as though you’re on a boat and I don’t think you packed a roofing-nail gun.)
Now Stops The Rain?
Never Sleep Through Realcoolstuff?
Now Suck That Rottenegg?
Now Spain, That’s Rad!?
Navy Seal Training Regime?
Nomenclature uniforme
des marchandises pour les Statistiques de Transport, Revisée?
Is it Nestle’s Nasdaq ticker symbol? (Yes, actually, it is).
And my two final (and serious) answers:
Naval Sea System Command Technical Representative
or
Nothing Significant to Report.
What’s my surprise?
Jon
OK, folks, it’s clear someone ran a web search on NSTR. It’s not “Naked Spouse – Truly Romantic!” It actually is “Nothing Significant To Report.” Jon is the winner, and his prize package includes: A free weekend stay at the (Andrew) Shinn home in Reedley AND the very firstostHour=05
Andrew: How about National Security Training Revue
Naval Search and Trysting Roster
Ninety Sincere and Trustworthy Renegades
Shoot, I was to late. I gave it my best however, but wouldn’t you know someone going to OXFORD would be the winner. P.S. I glad you have a nail gun with you – the other sounds gruesome.
