Starting sometime next month I'll reside in the Litter Box of the world for the next year. For those that don't know, I'm not wanting to write it in plain letters, but its true what others have been talking. For the last few weeks, my time has been soaked up with my wife & daughter.

Let me say this: One thing I shun is when people try to take advantage of a situation. There are some folks on the forums that will jump at any chance to save a nickle by pointing out in their signature block who they are, what they've done or where they're spending their time. I'm a hardliner when it comes to that & expect nothing from anyone of you. Doesn't mean I'm not proud. :)

The bright side is that Uncle Sam is paying us good for our trouble. :) It helps us to save & invest or have few good nights on the town:D. Part of my gear is a laptop so there should be no trouble finding net access to chat.

Holler later.
DD

Almost there.

Took us a few days to get out of Germany but we did make it to Kuwait late last night. After almost a day & a half of no sleep, I'm in the internet cafe chatting with you guys. :D Walked around the base this morning and every so often I keep expecting to see the beach :eek:

So far so good. Can't wait to get settled in and get into an everday groove. Holler again soon.
Doublepup. :)

Good to hear about your boat. Was talking about props the other day with a buddy and he just sat there in a daze.. <duh> I asked that he humor me and nod his head once in a while while talking about how to adjust tabs, rudders etc. :D (gosh I need a boating fix)

Eric, I've got a thread over at Jims in the Off Topic area, can you do me a favor & tell the guys there that things are good & I'm still in Kuwait doing some training before moving up North? Time is short & the net is slow but I'd appreciate you doing that. Thanks Bud.:)

Hey Eric, :)
Very good to hear from you little brother. How ya' been doing? Whats up with the cars now that you're out of boats? I figured you & Chris L would hit it off & start shooting rockets or something together :D

Here... Not much going on besides dodging the occasional mortar round & the long hours. Plans are to take R & R vacation in late June which will put me at less than a 100 days when I get back.~!:):) Through it all the hardest part is missing the family.

No real complaints, no real nothing. Just clicking days off the calendar. :)
Keep in touch Eric.

I actually got out of the hobby all together. Bought sweet stereo for my real car instead:D Wish I had some money for the NH to run again but thats a later project. I got into way more expensive things. My car is the most important thing right now. Good luck!!!

Eric, how you been buddy?
Yeah I'm still kicking around these parts when time allows. Not much time to build & run boats so I've sold most hulls and ordered a new Enforcer Team Pro the other day. Its more fun to have a reliable boat thats gas & go. The new mill & lathe have become the new obsession. Messy, but loads of fun and my buddies will come over to hang out and cut some metal.

Point is, how are you? Whats going on? Drop a line will ya?

Jamie :)
