I like it, I like it!!! HAHAHAHAHA.
Aye, that's a fact! Came home to check on workers and have lunch...the back yard is finally flat and the rock in the front has been replaced and groomed.
All that's left is for the fence company to take out the wooden fence and put up a block wall across the back.
That ought to be done by next Saturday, a little over a week...and everything will be done.
Whew!
I'm verry happy to be going to being an Aviation Electrician. I have a permanent Duty Station(Ft. Campbell), but I will go wherever they deploy me to.
I'm wearing red today, Mrs. N.
My son's high school classmate and her husband both did tours in Afghanistan, they deployed from Campbell. Iraq was only an OPLAN at that time.
But really, that's the truth of active duty service. You're going to go where you're needed, whether that means a war zone, a disaster relief assignment, or duty at a training base.
Uncle Sam's Green Machine has needs everywhere and you can bet he needs you where he sends you.
Thanks again, CMS, for taking these steps. You're a good man, don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise. Send 'em to me!
The Chambers Brothers made this song famous. This is a nice version too.
OOP'S! That's the wrong song! LOL Oh well....it's still a goodie!:)
When I went to Iraq Ft. Campbell was my units mobilization site. lol I already know whats in the area and I sorta know my way around too.
I'd love to hear the Chambers Bros. version. They make lovely music!
They grew up in Mississippi. They learned their singing and harmonies in church. True story.
An Iraqi man talks with U.S. soldiers at the entrance of his house in Tal Afar, Iraq on Sunday. A joint U.S.-Iraqi force pressed with an all-out offensive to wrest control of the town, near the Syrian border, from insurgents.
After wresting control, the Troops made visits to all of the locals and passed out balloon animals to the children, sold a few magazines, and discussed fashion trends with contemporary Iraqi citizens.
Sailors assigned to the amphibious assault ship Bataan (LHD 5) and Mexican marines carry a log on their shoulders as they remove debris from D'iberville Elementary School during Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in New Orleans on Friday. The school will be used as shelter, providing food and medicine for the evacuees.
There go those Mexicans again, taking the jobs that nobody else wants!
The Navy's Blue Angels fly in formation during the Great State of Maine Air Show at the Brunswick Naval Air Station in Brunswick, Maine on Saturday.
There is nothing wrong with your Internet. Blue Angels actually do control the vertical and the horizontal.
President Bush, second from the right, is joined by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen, left, Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco, second from the left, and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, right, as they drive through a flood-ravaged section of New Orleans on Monday.
Oh look, a caption from a liberal media outlet that actually presents President Bush as the centrist!
Army Sgt. Jeremy Duncan, 26, attached to the 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas, is sworn in for three more years of enlisted service by his superiors in front of Johnny White's Sports Bar and Grill on the corner of Orleans Avenue and Bourbon Street in the French Quarter in New Orleans on Monday. Duncan chose the bar for the occasion because it was the only place open on Bourbon Street.
Heck, the Army could get every soldier to reenlist if they first brought them first for a few hours to the only establishment on Bourbon Street that was open. Heck they could get Bill Clinton* to enlist if they handled it right.
*Ooops, no politics in the Canteen! I forgot!
Army Sgt. Ed Wrubluski looks out over the fully evacuated city of New Orleans on Monday.
The makers of "Sim City" have been working overtime on their soon to be released new game program.
Jordan Gigliotti, 7, left, and Marine Lance Cpl. Chris Hill, right, prepare for a Patriot Day ceremony at Paddy Road Elementary School in Greece, N.Y., Monday morning. Gigliotti and his classmates exchanged letter with Hill while he was serving in Iraq. The flag Hill is holding flew over his compound in Iraq and was raised on the school flag pole during the ceremony.
The old saying "Beware of Greeks bearing flags" does not apply here.
Chaplain (Maj.) Orlando Madrid of the Louisiana Army National Guard hugs his son Nathaniel, 3, as he returns to Alexandria, La., after serving a year in Iraq on Tuesday.
Soldiers with the 82nd Airborne Division pose for a group photo on a deserted Bourbon Street on Wednesday, 17 days after Hurricane Katrina hit the city of New Orleans.
Trust me, I have been there, Bourbon Street has never looked cleaner.
New York National Guard soldier Sgt. Robert Ragin, right, glances toward the crowd at the New York State Armory while fellow soldier Staff Sgt. Robert Davis embraces his daughter, Alissa, as they return home after a year in Iraq in Geneva, N.Y., on Wednesday.
Notice that busses with a big "W" on them have not been wastefully sitting around in flood waters.
Pvt. Mark Heany, left, and Pfc. Jeff Reinert of Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 112th Infantry, 56th Stryker Brigade, Pennsylvania Army National Guard, Bellefonte, Pa., look through a large shopping bag full of Mardi Gras beads at a point-of distribution site in Covington, La., on Thursday. Local residents have been giving handfuls of beads to the soldiers as a thank you for their work in the area.
Does anyone but me remember that New York was bought for $24.00 worth of beads? What are these Troops up to?
I've used a spreadsheet to keep track of tasks and costs (and available funds! LOL) and looking at it this morning showed just how right you are. There are two tasks remaining and 24 completed!
