Sold Out
Just a quick update from the last post…The Beach Boys concert was sold out by the time I got there, so it was a no-go.
The Beach Boys and F-15′s!
A couple of neat things…first of all, I’m going to be leaving here shortly to see The Beach Boys at Hostfest in downtown Minot at the state fairgrounds! This is gonna be so cool! And, I got some really neat pictures of an F-15 fighter jet at work today. They retired the jet not too … Read more
So, how’s your money doing these days?
The $700 Billion financial bailout bill failed miserably in the House of Representatives yesterday. What does this mean for you? If you have money tucked away under your mattress, it’s probably a lot safer than in any bank account at the moment. Unless your money is insured by the bank, it might be a safe … Read more
This is my title and I’m sticking to it…
I know I’m posting kinda late tonight, but I was just so tired I had to take a nap after work. But no need to fear, Kyle is now here! I must have fallen asleep with the TV on MTV, because when I woke up, “The Hills” was on…yeah…not much to say about that. I … Read more
Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It’s Off to Guam We Go
This coming week is going to be an interesting one indeed. We have several B-52′s that are scheduled to leave for a five month deployment to Guam. Two bombers will take off per day, everyday this week. After the last one departs out of Minot at the end of the week, we’ll only have a handful … Read more
Ssgt. Prince – Thank You
I ended up going to Rockers at about 4:30 to get supper. Chicken fingers and BBQ boneless wings…it was really good and I’m about to have some leftovers here shortly. I’ve been thinking about some things that have gone on with me so far this year. I was thinking about who has helped me out … Read more
Baby, you can rock my dorm
I just came across “Dirty Harry” on TV…so that’s what I’m watching right now. The base is hosting a “Rock the Dorms” event just around the corner from me, and I can hear all the music and commotion over there from that. It’s just an event where you can go eat and listen to music … Read more
Like totally, yeah, I mean…dude, totally, like yeah
I managed to take a short hour and a half nap this evening from about 5:30 until 7:00. From then on it’s been nothing but loud music and surfing the net for me. Tonight’s been one of those out of the ordinary nights as far as friends go. My hands have been going a hundred … Read more
All aboard! Let the sight-seeing begin!
Now that I’m a bloated bubble from eating Taco Bell, it’s time to share the day’s events! We had no flights departing from the base today, but there was a KC-135 practicing some touch-and-goes for about an hour and a half. All that means, is that they take off….land….take off…land….yeah, over and over again - you … Read more
Aerosmith – Calling it Quits?
It looks like my favorite band, Aerosmith, is at the end of the road. Drug use apparently has started again between Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, which has brought tension within the band, which leads to…you guessed it – a break up. The new album will most likely still be recorded and released, and they will … Read more
Houston, we have a problem…
We had to be to work this morning at 5am, and the morning was quite dull. However, it quickly turned around at about 11am. A flight that was due to come back to our base had engine failure while it was cruising over the Gulf of Mexico. They filed a new route of flight with … Read more
And the winner is…?
Okay, so a couple weeks ago I got word that one of my close friends growing up as a child, Kimberly, was crowned Miss Maine International 2008. I knew her really well and I knew her dad too. Her dad is the Dare program leader for the county I grew up in. So, I found her on … Read more
Bowling Results
I just got home from bowling in my first league tournament match. I bowled three games. I averaged a 121 of the three, so it sets my handicap at 79. I did pretty well I’d say. I met some cool new people. Jessica and I chatted most of the time. She came around the same … Read more
It’s Tourney Time!
Yes, that’s right! I’m leaving in about 15 minutes to bowl in my first league tournament game. I’m a bit nervous about it, but it’s all in fun. I just wonder how many people actually show up to watch these things… Work was good. My commander gave me a new job responsibility to go along … Read more
Today’s Agenda
So, now that I’ve made it through the night, I thought I’d just quickly write up a post before I head into work here in about an hour. Like I mentioned in the post earlier, I should be getting out a little after 2pm or so. Today is my first bowling league competition at the … Read more
Whoops…!
Well, I didn’t exactly plan it this way….but I definitely got enough sleep in. I got out of work at 11:45am, laid down around 12:30 or so….and woke up at 11:45pm! I had set my alarm for 4pm, lol. But, when I woke up, my phone was on the floor, my watch was on the … Read more
How much is that model in the window…?
Leona Lewis – Better in Time This is such an amazing vocal song I’m slowly seeing a trend setting in here. After I got out of work earlier I took a nap for about three hours to take the edge off. It worked, and now I can’t make myself tired enough to go to bed at … Read more
“Hooekd on phoniks worekd fer mee…”
Hey guys! For having pulled an all-nighter last night, I’m feeling pretty good…but I’m about to take a nap to stay on the safe side. I felt pretty accomplished today. I’m finding that as the days go on, I’m finally able to do a lot of the every-day tasks without any assistance, or very little. … Read more
Good Morning, Sunshine!
Yeah…it’s 4:50am. It wasn’t worth going to bed for like 2 or 3 hours, so I decided to pull an all-nighter. I have to work in about an hour, but I get out at 2:30, so a nap will do me just fine then. I’m really not even tired at this point. Trust me, there’s … Read more
50/50
Hey everyone! I went to church today as I have been doing for the past few Sundays. The service today was a lot different from the others. The message today was about sexuality and how people often abuse it. I think there were many things out of today’s service that most people can agree with … Read more
This is as close as it gets…
I’m dabbling around on E-Harmony for shits and giggles. The site couldn’t be any more “right” about me. Here is what it came up with, and it’s ALL completely, 100% true: You are best described as: CONSISTENTLY TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF Words that describe you: Uncompromising Frank Astute Critical Empirical Tough Discerning Skeptical Shrewd … Read more
“I never really liked that garden anyway…”
From FOXNEWS.COM: VIENNA, Austria — Austrian authorities say a small earthquake set off a large World War II-era bomb in the garden of a Vienna home. No one was injured in the explosion. Investigators think the bomb weighed up to half a ton. It lay buried for decades in the garden, and no one knew … Read more
Jello McGee
After this morning’s run, my legs were about the consistency of jello for the most of the day afterwards. The run went well. I did a mile and a half in 12:36 – Which is 1:27 slower than my best time back in basic training for my final fitness test. I was actually towards the … Read more
A Long Weekend Lurks Around the Corner
Tomorrow morning is the fitness run with the Commander, and they were nice enough to let us close the airfield all day afterwards, so that means, after I am done with the run, I get the rest of the day off. So…a three-day weekend awaits me! I got a little ambitious tonight and changed some … Read more
A Mixed-Bag of Random Things
Today was a pretty relaxed day. All of the aircraft had landed by about 6pm, so the rest of the evening was quiet. All I did for the most part was study and train. We’re not exactly sure what’s going on for Friday. There’s no flying that day, and the airfield is going to be … Read more
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a…well, what the hell is it anyway?
We’re not exactly sure what it was. When we were out on the airfield tonight around 11pm, we noticed what looked like a large satellite passing through the sky over the earth. However, whatever it was, it came back over, only the second time it was going in the opposite direction. Trust me…it was no … Read more
Really Quickly Before Work…
Well today I went out and picked up my package from the post office. It was indeed my soil collection. This Friday, the Commander (Lt. Col. Mitchell) is holding a one and a half mile run on the airfield. Our whole shop is participating, so it should be a good workout. It’s supposed to be … Read more
So many choices…
A few weeks ago, while at Barnes and Noble, I purchased my first ever bible. I bought the New Revised Standard Version because after spending an hour looking at all the different versions, it’s the easiest for me to grasp and understand. I’m thinking about getting a study version of the bible to kind of guide … Read more
Incredible!
I came across this quite a few months ago…It’s time I share it!
