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...

 

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).

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

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. .....

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

Bob
