Doing the J-O-B

Even the locals are Saints fans!

Last weekend I went to the bazaar (it like a flea market type of thing).  The base invites the locals to come on base and sell their goods.  It's pretty cool.  I didn't buy anything this time because I didn't want to hold on to it for 5 months in my tent.  But I saw some good stuff there!

My buddy, Chris and me went to a climbing gym here.  Its pretty cool..., the Canadians hollowed out a conex box and made it into a rock climbing gym.  There's usually a few people there.  Some people are serious about climbing here.  They've even brought their own climbing shoes and personal chalk... Haha.  I usually fall down every 10 seconds so I'm not that serious.  And then of course we had to unwind with a cigar and near beer....

Here is a few photos of "stuff"  that good folks from the ol' U S of A sent us just this week......we get a lot of stuff here!!!

Other than that I've been flying...a lot. Which is a good thing.  I had three days off in a row and now I'm on my fourth day flying in a row.  I'm flying all night lines right now so that means I'm sleeping in the day time.....which is weird, and hot.  And I've also finally got in a workout routine which is awesome!  But I have been so tired.  My regular day has been wake up, workout, take bus to work, eat, fly, take bus home, shower, sleep, repeat.  I flew in bad weather twice this week here.  This plane gets TOSSED around in the air = no fun.  I had my barf bag out just in case a few times.  That sucked.....

Sunrise on my way home from work...pretty

I'm doing this blog in a hurry so it's probably not going to be as long as usual.

My high school 10 year reunion was two nights ago.  I missed it and that sucks.  It has been fun looking at the pictures online from it so see how everyone has changed and grown up!

 Kristen is doing great.  We Skype almost everyday.  I also sent her a patriotic cookie bouquet this week.

Ohhh. I was just talking to my mom on the phone and she reminded me that I didn't tell yall what my pilot number is now....it's P-42!!!   I'm a little closer to P-1 every few days!
