Leaving on a Jet Plane


Well this is going to be one of my last posts for I am leaving to get back home soon. I learned to fire the mortar system the other day. So the picture is of me and a couple of the mortar men. They are some good guys and they play a mean game of risk. I will miss all the guys I have gotten to know that are with Baker company 1/7. But I am glad to get out of Iraq and go back to the states. The power has been going out here a lot because some saliors messed with the power cables and everything. I got letters and some messages from the family reunion. It is nice to hear that I was an honored guest at the family reunion via telephone. I'm looking forward to being able to make a reunion in the future. Some great pictures and thank you to everyone that talked to me on the phone and the bill wasn't so bad. Well I dont have much to say for now. I will talk to everyone and hopefully see everyone real soon.

Almost...


Alright I know it has been awhile since I posted one of these. And I am almost out of here less then a month to go. Oh yeah we found a hedge hog the other day. And its not blue so I knew I could trust it unlike that sonic the hedge hog. Still saying there is something with a blue hedge hog, can't trust him. I went to AQ for a couple of weeks for a change and it was nice. A change of people and work and food that you could eat without guessing what it was. It was nice there but I still rather be where I am. Ummm........ Yeah..... when I sit down to write these things I can never think of anything to say until I post it. Oh our A/C broke, so that is awsome. I know everyone is going through a heat wave back in the states. So at least I'm not the only one sweating through it. Yeah we had another Texas Hold'em tourny. I didn't do so well this time. In fact it was sad so I didn't even take any pictures. I can't think of anything to say so I will be going. Love to all and see you soon.
