Congrats on the re-up, Mr. Hat (oh, that's funny and I wasn't even trying)

Life is good as a civlian-select (final big inspection commencing this week).

Sayanara, DoD
Life with you has been good to me
I've served a nation proud and strong
I've put in hours short and long
I've seen the greatest of our Land
I've held the grieving widow's hand
I've golfed at Kaneohe Bay
I've sometimes worked an endless day
I've put in overtime at the motor pool
Then made my way to the swimming pool
I've been to Oman's sandiest locale
I've handed out out mail and minded morale
It's been 13 years, but seems like three
My pride will go on endlessly
I'm honored to have served with you, my fellow volunteers
May God continue to bless our land and give her many years.

I just made that up, haha..

Now I have to find a job...

Hello folks,

Day two on the decaf .... starting to see a difference.

Man, I wish I was on a plane headed to Norway. Even with the delays and the high beer prices (have you seen the legs on them women ??) ouch .... sorry honey !!

Old Dog ... that's a prime deer hunting setup you got there.

Chris ...Here's another one for ya, "It don't matter where you get your appetite as long as you eat at home".

Well, supposedly all my parts are in today so it looks like I may actually get to work today. I guess I should've been happy that I didn't have to do anything yesterday but still got paid .... but I'm not happy. It just goes against my grain. Either have something for me to do ... or I will find something myself.

Mornin' all,

Cool 70* in Houston. Had lotta rain yesterday, keeps the dust down on the highway.

Oven door fixer dude showed up today and replaced the door with the shatterd glass. Give it a test, with a lasagna today. Lasagna was the actor Richard Burton's favorite dish.

Have truck today. Got rounds to do. Garlic bread and green salad have been requisted, and have to get a phone jack adapter.

Old dog thanks for the answers. Good luck selling the rig.

Hat. how many years you got to go after this reup? Hang in there. Your doing good, and thanks for being there.

Pistol, what is the decafe doing good for you? The doctor suggested I might consider going on the decafe. Also you are paid for what you know and can do when needed.

Missed the Hooters pagent, but did watch the Cleveland Indians win last night. As a kid I went to one game of the '48 world series in Cleveland.

ChirsR your words of wisdom are worth remembering. Tuff job you got some times.

Have a good un and be safe out there.

Sun is shinning with a little breeze. Should be able to handle that today.

Started cleaning out the garage yesterday, don't have a clue where all that junk came from. Mind you most of it is still good... don't want to through it out just yet might need it next week. Two and a half car garage and a 40x80ft building that I should have built x100, still would have been to small, and still need more storage.

That beer sitting in Norway is going to be a little stale by the time Fronty gets to it.

HOHN jingle writing might a job you should look into...

ChrisR Good job holding down the fort like that. A commendation is in order.

Hat the little woman had to have a little edge on you..
Going down face first, do you have to change the hook up? I'd like to try it sounds like fun.

Scott we brought in timmi's coffee while you were gone. That was how we coped and as you can see no one really suffered too much. Glad to have you back though.

It's late had a visitor this morning, old friend that is retired now. Had to have a pot with him and listen to a few stories. Ate a half a apple pie while doing it to. Had to keep my strength up. Listening to all that bull dung is exhausting work.

Have fun and drive safe. Later

I didn't want to race her until she HB'd me at the line... 1...2... and she left. Yeah, you want the carabeaner in the back, brake in the stomach. If not, when you hit the fat pedal, you change directions rapidly...

Grad practice now... getting tired of this...

Yea, norway is nice. I still cant get over the US$12 for a .4 liter glass of beer thing. Im glad the company is paying.

Most of the summer I have been in Leirvik, this trip im back to Stavanger. much more cosmopolitan city. The women look like they are ready to cuddle up and get warmed. sorry to my hunny now


Well, after getting lied to and missing my flight out of Memphis, I burned 15000 air miles so im taking the trip in business. sitting in the lounge now. had a few beers and a snack. Im gonna leave in a bit and go to the Blue Note Cafe for some nachos....

Im about to get spoiled to this lounge stuff. good thing im going to be gold after this flight.
