Short

Time is getting short for me. I have just a little over a month left here in the states. Then I have to get on a plane and fly to a foreign land. Oh joy. I still haven't heard from my sponsor. I need for them to contact me somehow so I can have them get me a mailbox. That way I can get all my bills still. Hmmm, maybe I don't really need a sponsor!

I get to see Gorgeous again in two days! :) I am taking the cat herd up to her and getting her moved into an apartment. Then I get to come back and start cleaning so the movers can come pack everything up. Then I have to clean the house top to bottom and pass inspection. Whee.

Not much has been happening here other than that. Just trying to get everything ready to go. I decided to take my bicycle with me to Turkey. Hopefully I will find the time to ride it. Maybe it will be my main transportation. I will have to figure that out when I get there.

Make a nice day!

Is it over yet?

I keep thinking this is a bad dream that the AF is causing me. I guess it isn't. Gorgeous moved back home last weekend so she could start a new job. Now it is back to me and Mud. When Mud spent the night at her mother's a couple of nights ago I got very lonely. I couldn't even make it seem not so lonesome with the TV on and the cats around me. Maybe I'll be one of those old men with a dozen cats and no relatives that anyone has ever seen.

So just an update, I will be putting my next stripe on next week. I certainly need the money! I could stand to win the lottery also. I need to buy a ticket.

Make a nice day!

Make a nice day!! :)

After Turkey

I found out where I am going after I do my tour in Turkey.

Drumroll.........


.........................

.........................








I get to go to the great city of Montgomery, Alabama. I got Gunter AFB. Not Maxwell AFB. I get to go to the little one.


Anyone know of anything to do there? Any must eat at restaurants? Do they have a Hooters?

Anyone got a cheap house there that I can rent for a year or so?


Make a nice day!

Life

It's been how long since I last blogged? Dang!! Sorry folks.

Life seems to take the strangest turns sometimes. I don't really want to go to Turkey, but part of me is really looking forward to it. People who have been there keep telling me that I will love it. Other people tell me that they wish they were going. My Mom called the other night and asked if I was going to be one of those guys that gets to Turkey and then goes to Afghanistan to teach them how to set up computers. She saw some 20/20 show about that. I told her that I didn't think so. Now she has me wondering. Hopefully I will get a sponsor soon so I can find out more about the job.

What has everyone else been up to? I need a lot of time to try and catch up with everyone's blog.

Make a nice day!

POODLE!!!@#$!$@#@

OK.

I have to go to Turkey for a year. I won't be coming back to the Space Coast after that. I am going to have to create a new blog for Turkey. I'll take all ideas for a name for the new Turkey blog. I have a few months before I have to go, so hopefully I can get my affairs in order. I have been advised to buy as many silk rugs as I can and ship them back. Evidently they cost around $1000 over there and can be resold back here in the states for anywhere between $7000 to $10000 each. Anyone know this for a fact? Anyone looking for a new silk rug? What should I look for? What should I avoid? I will be in Izmir, Turkey so if anyone has a friend there that they would trust to sell me rugs, give me a holler.

Make a nice day.

Who, what, where am I?

It has been 2 weeks since I posted last. A lot has happened. I was very busy. I went up and got Gorgeous and moved her down here with me. We got back here last Friday night. We have boxes all over the house still. My stereo got unplugged and her sound system got set up. So did her tv. They are nicer than mine. Yesterday morning after PT, I got a bad email. I got selected for an assignment. A remote assignment. To Turkey. I have to be there no later than 30 November. That sucks. I guess I screwed up when I made MSgt. I can't turn the assignment down for the same reason I couldn't turn MSgt down. I would be a civilian this December with no retirement from the AF after 19 years. So that means I am going to Turkey for a year. It puts our plans on hold for a while, but I am positive everything will work out. When it will work out I'm not sure. At least I will be able to buy more gold cheaply and it gives me a chance to get a silk rug that I have wanted!

Make a nice Independence Day!

Tired

I am so tired tonight. I finally managed to crawl into bed and talk to Gorgeous for a little while last night around 2245. About 30 seconds after I hung up with Gorgeous, my pager went off. I ended up having to go in to work to fix an emergency problem because the person who was supposed to make a change to their workstations last month didn't do it. I finally got home at 0115 and crawled back into bed. Then the alarm went off. It sure felt like when I was young and just came home from the club!

The day wasn't bad though. I had to go to a meeting that all the promotees had to go to at 1100 and they even fed us. Then I was back at work for an hour and 45 minutes, then I had to be at the Enlisted Club to get ready for the promotion party. The promotion party was scheduled to start at 1500 but we got started a little early. I drank cokes all afternoon, but there were two kegs of beer and a fully stocked bar. There was also a buffet of snack foods so that people wouldn't be drinking on an empty stomach. Around 1630 I was heading out the door to come home when one of the guys from the office showed up so I took him out to where the beer was and bs'd for a while then we went inside to the bar and found several people from work in there drinking and having a good time. I just sat and laughed and had a good time listening to everyone tell stories. I can finally say that I saw a woman in her 50's shoot beer out her nose unintentionally.

Gorgeous called me while the party was going on so I didn't get a chance to talk to her for more than a minute. I had several people yelling to her that I was being very bad and that I was totally wasted. I was the sober one though. Hehehe. I had a lot of fun laughing though.

I think I am going to go to bed early tonight. Like maybe right after I post this.

Tell your Pookie that you love them and Make a Nice Day!!

Made It!!!


I finally got my invitation to the Top-3 group. What does that mean? For all you non-military types it means that I finally made Master Sergeant, which is E-7 paygrade. I guess the fact that I finally quit worrying about making it let me actually make it. Now all I have to do is figure out what will happen because of this.

Make a nice day!!

500

The Band - Up On Cripple Creek



This is my 500th post! Never even thought I would post this much. I had to steal a video from MySpace.

Something I have learned through much trial and error, you can choose to passively have a nice day, or you can be active and MAKE A NICE DAY! I hope everyone chooses what is best for them.

I choose to Make a nice day!

Launch!


They launched the shuttle again tonight. Here is a picture from it. I could hear the roar of the engines for a long time after I couldn't see it anymore.

This is post 499 for me, so I have to think of something special for number 500.

Make a nice day!

Oh Really...

I found this over at Bekah's blog.

You Are An ISTJ

The Duty Fulfiller

You are responsible, reliable, and hardworking - you get the job done.
You prefer productive hobbies, like woodworking or knitting.
Quiet and serious, you are well prepared for whatever life hands you.
Conservative and down-to-earth, you hardly ever do anything crazy.

In love, you are loyal and honest. If you commit yourself to someone, then you're fully committed.
For you, love is something that happens naturally. And you don't need romantic gestures to feel loved.

At work, you remember details well and are happy to take on any responsibility.
You would make a great business executive, accountant, or lawyer.

How you see yourself: Decisive, stable, and dependable

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Boring, conservative, and egotistical

TG said she liked this one. She even got the code for me since I can't seem to remember my YouTube password. I hope you enjoy it too.
