Thanks. Are you all used to being home now? (I didn't quite get used to it...)

When I was at Taji in '04, we took Black Hawks or Chinooks from there to BIAP. When I went at night, we ALWAYS saw tracers and other lovely fireworks. The shooters do stay busy. I don't think I ever saw one of 'em so much as blink.

Miss it yet?

I've settled into the domestic routine, painting the house, clearing brush, rebuilt the roof & have done some electrical wiring around the house and doing design work at home - to name a few.

Two months ago the Company called & asked if I could go to an undisclosed location in Central Asia. Naturally, the hausfrau went bonkers, so here I am.

I do miss the opportunities and honor of working with sooooooo many people with a strong sense of purpose. This is lacking quite a bit back home.
I cringe everytime I hear some "expert" who hasn't been there.

Who knows - I may still may make the call to Houston. It's hard to stay on the farm after you've been to the big city.

Once again - be good, be safe -
