Took the bus on an adventure to find a place to cut my hair. After being on the ship for 28 days this #disconnectedundercut is feeling good. #hairdo #beards #beardstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BxawLqGFsPJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nwkz3j9z152f

Pretty excited to try these #steadlerpens I scored at a garage sale for $3.00. Technically they are for drafting, but that is not what I’ll be using them for #steadler #marsmatic #marsmatic700 #thrifting #thrifted #garagesalefinds #garagesalefind https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXG0DIlY0Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u5ni6x0grtda

I am not finding a whole lot of sterling and gold on my first garage sale hunt of the season but the fam is. Mom scored these #oldschool 10” metal reels. #tdk #teac #vintageaudio #vinrageaudiogear https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSnnO2F2YO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i5ownnay7ubg

A little #cutco score for the day. I wonder if they would replace it with a new one if I sent it in. #vintage honing stone going into my collection. #cutcocutlery #thrifting #thriftingfinds https://www.instagram.com/p/BxOHtOdlihD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xv0qife9aa1e

Today I got to pilot the ROV for the first time and had an #octopus at 6000 FSW making sure I was doing it right. 🤣 #sealife #octopus #octopus🐙 #seafloor #gulfofmexico https://www.instagram.com/p/BwYlHd0lW0r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=40g374ript1v

Holy smokes I wish I would have had these manipulators while disarming bombs. This is a picture of our #ROV AT 6000 FT. My first time using the T4 arm. It is so smooth, and the controller is awesome! #ptsdsurvivor #militaryveteran #usmilitaryveteran #rov #robot #robotics #underwaterrobot https://www.instagram.com/p/BwXKxz5Fz18/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x25pmgazbcsp
