Mr Too Cool For School
As my time on this deployment starts to wind down, I wanted to use a couple of my project365 days as an excuse to get some picture of the guys I work with. In this first installment, I give you our fearless leader ...
I work in the same office with the LT back home, but he's one of those people who doesn't exactly "pose" for pictures. So, since I was able ..read more
Does 41 Birthdays Make Me Old?
I was born on March 8th 1969. I've always thought that anyone who was born after men walked on the moon is still pretty young, so I guess I do just barely qualify as "old" ... lol, especially if you were to ask my teenage kids.
Forty-one is actually a pretty interesting age ...
The great majority of the time, my mind still thinks I'm 22 or 23.
But then ...

It Is Hot In the Desert
... and in other news, the sky is still blue.
I know this is the desert and everything, but I had kind of hoped to avoid feeling too much of the heat before I go home next month. Unfortunately, no such luck.

p.p.s. for those who don't know my family, this is Haley:
She turns 15 today.
But I Need More Time
Wow, these 12 hour shifts are a "blast". It's not that the work is any harder than usual; in fact, I've been actually getting to forecast weather instead of just doing admin weenie stuff, so it's kind of fun. But, being there at work for half the day, doesn't leave a lot of time for "other" stuff. I get home in morning and talk to Ana on Skype for a little ..read more
Burn Baby Burn
Paper does not go in the trash over here. Whenever we're done with it, it goes in a box under the desk, and when the box is full, we take it out to the barrel and burn it. This happens about once every couple of weeks. Dave, our mid-shift forecaster, usually takes care of it. Last night, he was out there at the burn barrel for nearly an hour (the ..read more
