Today was my first day back since my day off and I was energized. I called Sammie and wished her a happy 20th bday. Its insane how old we’re all getting. Royce will be going to Rio next year and Casey will be in 8th grade! It’s nuts!
Work was actually pretty slow today. Oh man, my buddy walker got spilled on while doing fleet! And he didn’t even hit the yellow button! Whomever fleeted the plane last actually took out the cover that u screw on to seal the drain.. so when we opened the top latch everything just came out! At least this time we know it wasn’t our fault. Too bad for Walker though.. it was bad enough when it WAS my own fault! So the lesson is, be cautious of EVERYTHING and not JUST the yellow button, because you can still get smurfed. They call it smurfed because all the blue juice comes out.. and then your all blue. Yep, smurfed. So yes, Walker is now my fellow smurf. WOO!
After work frinky, richi, colvard, and the captn went to go work out at the gym. When I first got here I was dying at 7.5 on the treadmill… today I was knockin out 9.5-10 like nothing! I think its because we’re wearing that body armor to and from work and its making my legs strong? Whatever it is, im stoked about running at those speeds again. I realized how out of shape I really was. Hopefullly I’ll never let that happen again. … The sacrifices I make for all the beautiful women back home.
We headed to the chow hall after the gym. I got fancy and went ½ and ½ on the milkshake today. It was alright.. nothing spectacular. I think im actually starting to get tired of those milkshakes..how sad.
Frinky and Richi were talking about childbirth and how its nasty and how the placenta comes out or something? O man I don’t think I could stomach all that stuff.. im glad that’s nowhere in the near future for me.
Frinky and I were talking about how we have a great group here and how this deployment would have sucked if it weren’t for all the cool people. I think the last rotation had problems with each other and that’s too bad. It’s awesome that I came here at the same time as these other guys because theyre good funny folks. Everything happens for a reason. I am truly grateful for having these guys out here with me. It’s really making it quite an enjoyable experience. I hope that everyone I know has similar experiences in their lives, because it’s these experiences that make life truly worth living.
Alrighty folks, stay cool.
