madhat's sand free Independence Day breakroom 30 June-7 July
 

Evening, ladies and germs...

My time is getting short, prepping for the deployment to Afghanistan shortly (can't say when, OPSEC!!), and a great fourth of July that is coming up.

Buy your sparklers and snakes now to celebrate!!!

Beer and fireworks... [nonono]

Thanks for the new breakroom and as always, thanks for your service.
Its been a long time since I got sent someplace I would rather not go. You are (at least on the surface) a lot more upbeat than I could manage. Thanks again.

No fireworks for us this year. Fire hazard is up. Luckily beer doesnt cause fires (most of the time)[laugh].

Gee, so much activity so early on a Sunday morning. What happened that someone isn't telling???? [laugh]

Ya know, Heidi - - there is just something about that statement that does not quite have substance. How can you have a "love" seat with something between the seat with "stuff?" Those do not mix. A love seat is a single large recliner with both of us in it - - yah - - now that we both like. .....[redface]

OK, gorgeous day down this way - - high of 89. Sounds like beach weather to me - - right after church. Ya'll be good,

Bob
