Good afternoon, tt...are we getting in some exercise or just eating our way thru school? LOL!

Sounds like you are enjoying the local atmosphere. Any more snow?

How is school coming along? Still learning all sorts of good stuff? Absorbing it all?

[tongue-tied]

Ma!!!!

I am exercising while walking to the clubs and restaurants. Plus I LIVE on the second floor, and several classes are on the FIFTH floor, so many stair-stepper sorta things going on.

The statue of Lenin outside my window has no more snow at his feet like he did, so the warm (maybe 37) temps have taken their toll. Supposedly rain in the next few days (poop) but no snow.

School is kick-butt! I've been avionics-specific my whole career, except for general maintenance control and quality assurance as a manager dude. Learning actual engine operation and more in-depth hydraulic systems has been a real kick in the pants.

I can truly say (no matter what my compatriots in Kabul say) that this has been a very productive time.

Plus! they have pretty college aged girls running around. Can't swing a cat to beat that with a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Or something like that, I may be mixing metaphors. Or hyperbolies...I can't remember.
