Post #508: 8,000 Blog Visits!
Time is slowly winding down before I hop on a plane and head back East! I absolutely can’t wait. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I visit back home! It looks like the Skowhegan State Fair is going to be there when I’m home too, so I’m definitely catching the battle … Read more
Post #507: Tickets = Purchased!
Yet another work week has come and gone, but it’s been a good one needless to say. I finally bought my plane ticket to get back home next month, so I’ll be heading back to Maine on the 11th of August, returning on the 25th to Minot. It’s a little bit longer of a stay … Read more
Post #506: New Stripes Soon!
Not much new to report around here. I just got out of work for tonight, gotta go back tomorrow for a meeting at 11am, another meeting at 1:45pm, and then my shift until we close at 10pm. The longer I’m in the Air Force, the more meetings I seem to have to go to…lol. I’m … Read more
Post #505: Daytona!
Anyone that knows me, knows I love Nascar. My favorite track is Talladega, but tonight they’re racing in Daytona Beach! This ranks up there with the excitement of the ‘Dega, for sure. I know about 4 of you who read this will say, “wow, that rocks!” The other 49,586,786 of you will say, “ugh, 2,000 more … Read more
Post #504: I’m Coming Home!
It looks like my finalized dates to come home will be August 10th thru August 24th!! I can’t wait to see everyone back home again, it’ll be a blast like always. If you wanna “reserve” a date to hang, do it fast, because it never fails that I run out of time to see everyone … Read more
Post #503: Long Weekend!
It’s rare, but we actually seem to be getting a four-day Weekend here! In the past, something always seemed to happen at the last second to ruin our extended breaks, but this Weekend looks like it’s a go for now. If all stays the same, I won’t be going back to work until Tuesday afternoon, … Read more
Post #502: I LOVE Being Me!
Today was good! I woke up (the first time) around 10:30am to a text message from a co-worker. It said not to even bother going into work because the airfield was closed for the day, sooo…that made my day 100% better from the get-go! I fell back asleep until about 1pm when I finally got … Read more
Post #501: Here’s to 25 More Years!
This has been an amazing week so far! I don’t care about how much I have to work, or about how little time I get to spend elsewhere outside of work. I’m thankful that I have such a great career and amazing friends both here and back home. There’s not much I am wanting at the … Read more
**Post #500!** You’re Ignorant If…
…You don’t watch the news. I’m so sick of people not keeping up with current events and being completely numb to the world around them. I just don’t understand it. I’m not saying everyone needs to watch it 24/7, or sleep with a newspaper under their pillow at night – but I am saying people … Read more
Post #499: Funny Dogs?!
I was browsing my website stats earlier tonight, and nothing was really sticking out as out of the ordinary for the most part. I went through it all; who visits, how often they visit, where they are from, what they click on, and all that good stuff, but then I got to a section called … Read more
Post #498: Demand Studios
I’m not going to lie – I just got through my busiest week ever. I enjoyed every minute of it! The work week was as busy as it has ever been up here in a long time, and I can’t wait for it to be like this again. A long story short, we made it … Read more
Post #497: Insurance, Careers, and the Girl!
God, it’s been too long since my last update. Sorry about that! I don’t even know where to begin – so much has happened over the last couple of weeks! Jessica and I are doing well! We went tonight to see “The Losers” which was playing here on base. I didn’t know what to expect … Read more
Post #496: Two Workdays Before Monday
It’s occurred to me recently that America just needs to get rid of “Weekends.” They don’t seem to serve a purpose anymore. Weekends used to serve some very important purposes to the working class – rest, relaxation, and recuperation. The middle class for some reason is no longer entitled to these previously standard practices. Holidays are just … Read more
Post #495: Beautiful Weather Ahead!
Hey everyone. Right now it’s about 3:20am. I got out of work about an hour ago and since then I’ve just been relaxing and trying to unwind a bit. It was a fairly rough day, but I’ll be going to bed here shortly and hopefully tomorrow will be a tad smoother. The weather is supposed … Read more
Post #494: Chicken Salad Ignorance!
It’s still hard for me to accept the fact that not everyone is from the great State of Maine. I mean, we have Lobster! A couple of weeks ago, I was hard pressed to find anyone who had heard of Chicken Salad – you know, the tuna looking stuff…only it’s chicken…? Well, I didn’t even … Read more
Post #493: B-52 Flight to Alaska!
This past week has been absolutely amazing! I’ve done more this week than a lot of people can say they’ve done over the course of several years. The week started out by going to a lot of training appointments. I had to learn how to parachute out of an aircraft in case our plane had … Read more
Protected: #492 – This one definitely has to be private. If only you had the password, huh?
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Some really smart person decided to throw his (or her) fist through the wall in the stairwell up on the third floor of our BRAND NEW $20 Million dorm. Not once, not twice…three times. So, because no one decided to confess to the incident, we’ve been rewarded with a 6am showtime, in our full service … Read more

I’ve decided that this weekend I’m going to go downtown at some point and check out the new “Nightmare on Elm Street” movie. The previews are making it look amazing, and I’m a sucker for those kinds of movies – so I might as well waste my time and money on it… I have to … Read more
#489
First of all, sorry about the lack of a post for close to a week, and then the lame excuse for a post last time. I was shooting for the 500th entry by the end of the month, but that’s not happening anymore I guess! Maybe next month if I’m motivated enough… Things are extremely … Read more

This week I wrapped up Week #7 of my second block of UOP classes! Two more weeks for this block and I’ll be completely done with it until the third block starts shortly afterward. I’m looking at my options this Summer as far as taking classes during my deployment. I hope it can be done, … Read more

Hey all! It’s been a beautiful weekend! The temperatures have been up into the 60′s, close to 70 actually, and things are going really well! Not too much to talk about, but I was overdue for a post. The work week wasn’t all that eventful, I spent most of my week running around for different training … Read more
Post #486
Wow, I have no idea where to even begin with this entry. I last had internet on Sunday, and so much has happened over the last week to even begin to remember it all! I finished moving into my new dorm room earlier this week. We all out-processed the old dorm on Tuesday to make … Read more
Post #485
From now on, I’m not going to title my posts, I’m running out of titles quite honestly. I’m just going to use what number post it is… Anyway, I moved quite a bit of my stuff over to the new place this afternoon. I got it all over in one load with my truck, got … Read more
New Dorm and Muffler!
I’ve been actively looking around downtown lately for a new apartment, because I was authorized to finally move off base from my current dorm. The problem is…there’s nothing worth it downtown! The ones I’ve toured are all run-down and ridiculously filthy, so I talked to my First Sergeant today and he’s letting me move to the new … Read more
A little bit of everything!
I don’t know why, but I’ve been addicted to the new Train song called “Hey, Soul Sister.” It’s catchy and it just sounds cool! It’s been a few days since I’ve posted anything that wasn’t a rant, so it’s time to break the trend! Another thing I’ve been way too addicted to, is the show … Read more
If I don’t ask – please don’t tell!
I love my friends, but I hope people realize there’s a HUGE difference between friends and acquaintances. Friends talk; acquaintances just overhear the things that friends talk about. This isn’t the “thesis” of my post, but it’s the best place for me to start to get to where I’m trying to go here… When I make … Read more
Am I right?
A little hard work and effort never hurt anyone. If you don’t have the motivation to complete something, don’t begin it in the first place. This goes for work, college, hobbies, whatever else you’re dumb enough to start and then give up on! Hypochondriacs always complain about health problems that they don’t have, but is … Read more
Don’t get your panties in a bunch after you CHOOSE to read this one.
One thing that always makes me laugh, is watching how other people always choose to handle conflicts and other events within their lives. There are a select few in this world who handle change and conflict well. These people take life as it comes, realize that most happenings are beyond anyone’s control, and continue pressing … Read more
Denny’s and other random things…
Normally I’d have the weekend off, but I have to go into work for a few hours later this afternoon. It shouldn’t be all that bad though. I mailed out my first certification exam the day after I made my last post on here. It probably made it to the grading center by now, so … Read more
