Rain, rain, go away.....

Greetings from the land of no Sun. Well there is one, we just don't see it much. It has rained and rained, and then rained again. But I think that we will see the big shiny orange thing today, I hope. We had sun yesterday for about 2 hours. Long enough for us to get happy. So here came the rain and it came in force.........I saw a Rubber Ducky go by in a raft with bags in tow. That's very bad when the ducks head for higher ground. Hey we are 5,000 feet up how much higher can they go.....Well I'll be leaving soon....I hope. Never count my days until I get on the plane and land in another country. Oh and have that first cold beer. Real food and then some more beer. Maybe some wine and then a beer. You see a pattern forming don't ya. Well take care and I will write more before I leave. I can't wait to get off that plane and see my kids,Mom and Dad. But that first hug from Amanda will make my day. Later and hope that everyone in blog land has great day.

Paradise Lost.....

Well, Hi there folks! Well not much has happened since we last spoke. Oh, it rained and it will rain for the next 7 days. Hey, I did some work 2 days ago. TheUnited Arab Emirates have C-130's here and they had a leak on a brake. Well, they didn't have anyone here that has changed one so they asked us. Well we did it in about an hour. They were very impressed. Said it takes them about 3 to 4 hours at home. They gave us lunch that day and was good. Last night they invited us for dinner and I'm not sure what it was we ate but it was very, very good. The best meal that I have had here so far. Oh and the people were so great, very fun to be around. I hope to talk to them again before I leave. I just found out that Amanda has almost finished painting my house. Well no one will tell me what color it is. Not even my own kids. But I will find out soon. I miss Amanda more than I thought I would. She has sent me so many cards, letters and even a CD. Man the CD is so cool. Love the songs. Hell, I love her! She is way cool. Later folks! See you all soon.

The Bagram Crud...

Hi there in the land of Blog! Well I got some rest but now I have what we call The Bagram Crud. I have a slight fever, sore throat, runny nose, body aches and I just plain feel bad. Oh guess what,it is raining again- Oh boy that should help me! Ok I have to say this. Go Heels!!!!!!!! As Angie would say "WOOT"!!!!!! I got a large envelope the other day from Amanda's 4th grade class. They all made me some cards and let me tell ya they made my day and made me feel 100% better. I have hung them all up on the wall around my living space. Kinda brings home to me. Oh before you ask "Yes, Amanda yours was the best." LMAO. Had to say that. Well hope to have some more pics up soon. Take care and I will be home soon.

Another Day in Paradise....








I went looking around the base today and I finally saw how many mines are around this base! I also got some pics from a friend and also found the pics I forgot that I had. Weather is getting better. That is good and bad. Hope that things are going well for all of you guys. I can't wait to get to sleep today. It has been a long, slow night. Take care you all and I'll see you soon.

Greetings from the Moon....lol....

Greetings there folks. Sorry no pics have been busy but I will go and try to take some today. Hey how about those Heels!!!! I got to watch the game and it made my day. Man, let me tell you I have had busy few days! I had to go and fix a plane. That sucked. It was cold and wet and then it got even colder. I need a new travel agent! This weather was not in the brochure! Oh, you should see all the mines around this place. There are thousands of them! They were laid during the Afghan Russia war. That's why I stay on the main roads only. Yesterday, man it really sucked. Everything went wrong that could and then it got worse. But- I got everything fixed- only left one job for the other guys! I really hope to get some good sleep today. Take care to every one out there. Amanda Rocks..she has been painting my house while I have been over here. That is so cool! Take care and I hope everyone has a great day!
