Riddle Missions

I think my favorite place to swim in Saipan is The Grotto. Even though it is overrun with tourist, (I really get why so many people hat tourist now) its still a great place to relax and swim around. The best part about it is that it is covered by a giant rock making it kinda like a cave. The covering keeps the water nice and cool unlike most other places on the island where the water feels like hot tub water. Yesterday I went out there with my GoPro and took some pictures and video. It was starting to get cloudy and we didn't stay long so there is not very much footage or very many photos but I wanted to share a little bit about what its like.   [caption id="attachment_1017" align="alignnone" width="4000"] Looking into the Grotto[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1020" align="alignnone" width="4000"] Travel under there to get to open ocean[/caption] [caption id="attachment_1022" align="alignnone" widt...

Last Friday night I was sleeping soundly, dreaming about Mexican food or something along those lines, when suddenly I was awoken by a ringing sound. Naturally my first thought was to tell Alexa (virtual assistant from Amazon just to be clear...) to be quiet. When she didn't hear me I yelled "Alexa STOP!" when still the noise came I sat up and noticed my phone glowing, I thought there is no way its 6 am yet. When I picked up my phone I say the Principals name there calling me and thought well its 1 am so this is probably a pocket dial but just to be sure I should check. So I answered the phone and he informed me that one of the houses that the school owns had a busted water pipe near the hot water heater and I needed to go take care of it. He told me that there was smoke reported coming from the area, my first thought was oh its probably steam from the hot water heater so I wasn't too worried. So I got dressed and headed down there. FYI you can really take advantage of...

On August 31 the I woke up to extreme heat and realized that the power went out at the apartment I live in. And like it usually does a few minutes later the generator kicked on so I went to flip the switch to generator power and got the AC running again. No big deal I have to reset a few clocks and stuff nothing major. I went to work the next morning and when I got back I was surprised to find the generator still running. This was strange since they normally the main CUC (Commonwealth Utilities Corporation) power is fixed by that point.  But I went on with my night fixed dinner and eventually went to bed. The next day I discovered that a transformer had gone bad and it would need to be replaced. I assumed that they would rush order the transformer and install it as soon as possible to get electricity working for the people who live here. But you know what they say when you assume... On I think it was Friday morning I went to talk to the maintenance guy about it and he handed me a pape...
