Good morning Eggheads and persons of disinterest.

Having received a timely reminder that 'RIGHT NOW' would be a good time to check the plumbing, I detatched myself from the charging station and traversed down Concourse H to the northside facility maintenance department. Upon entering and illuminating the unoccupied department I selected the proper porcelain furniture piece and, with minimal preparation, I commenced the biofluid pressure release sequence. After an appropriate audible indicating a successful release I concluded the event with the mandatory dumping of the contents and the decontamination of the graspers utilized in the process.

Although at first I was unaware of an 'alert' regarding the plumbing pressure buildup, I now believe that such an alert actually existed. Why else would there be such a strong emphasis placed on the urgency of performing the plumbing check? If so, this may be a signal that the 'at-my-leisure-vacation' is over when it comes to performing this necessary duty. This will be a subject of inquiry during my very early pre-light period visitation to the practicing keel fixer-upper who recently spent time inside my main vertical structure at Levels 3, 4 and 5. I will know in 4.663 time units from this very moment. Management by Patience.

Meanwhile, I continued my duties by checking the interior illuminator on the food preparation area's refrigeration unit, which I found to be functioning properly.

I then proceeded to the external observation portal and much to my surprise, saw Rodney Dangerbird at his security post. I waved and he waved back as if nothing unusual had transpired over the past few light/dark periods. So I asked, "How's it going Rodney?" He nodded the affirmative nod. Hummmm! Non-communicative. So I asked, "What is the seventh security instruction?" He responded by withdrawing his weapon of choice and blasting a rather nasty hole in a nearby statue used to signify a 'bad dude." Then he blew the smoke from the furthermost point of the weapon, replaced it into its convenient holster and ignited the 'ask questions later' flare.

Shoot! (pun intended), didn't he realize that I was attempting to communicate with him? So I tried once more. I asked, "Rodney, please describe in detail the events that occurred over the last seven light/dark periods." To which he simply shrugged the 'I don't rightly know' signal. "VARMINTS!!!" Stumped again!!! Given the fact that security appeared to be intact I decided to investigate his release from the diagnostic facility before performing any further actions. I will take the matter up during the light period. So I waved the 'thank you' signal and departed in the direction of the Intergalactic Communications Center.

Upon checking for messages and the current Woot item, I activated the Big Green Egg Forum and counted a total of 8 Members and 113 Guests obviously in a state of suspended reporting animation. I took that to mean they had nothing to report or didn't care to share it. So, with plenty of non-answers I decisioned to return to the recharging station until such time as to become vertical enough to visit with the keel specialist.

Note to file: replace statuary piece in Coop area.

Say goodnight Leroy.
