After 27 years my Hotmail account is finally, legitimately, out of space

12 pound brisket. Let’s do this (tomorrow morning).

I am saying the quiet part out loud, but having people over to the house is basically the forcing function I use to actually make me clean the place up. I’m not alone in this, right?

Little PT Test with Crazy Horse this morning. Not great; not awful. Sucked at push-ups and still suck at plank. Need to find another 44 points before I’m going to be content. Always happy, never content.

On leave. My son just said, “no duh, Mom,” and we both bust out laughing. His reaction was priceless and confused. Oh, there is nothing new under the sun. I haven’t heard someone say “no duh” since I was about that age.

Fort Carson is really nice. The view on this morning’s run. Altitude isn’t as brutal as I expected, but then again it was a long easy run.

I’m baaaaack

I have been judged and found wanting

I have lost many hours (days, weeks, months?) trying to restart my computer to get it to connect to the VPN properly so I can download an LES and email it to myself for something. Bananas how hard the easy things can be…

Family needed a win this week. Super proud of our First Class Scout.

I feel better after napping this afternoon. Dogs are amazing.

Crew gunnery Table III and it’s getting real. Best job in the Army.

One day closer to Crew Table VI!

It’s a good day to watch football and see the parents

This is what happens when you can only schedule grooming every 6 weeks and for one of them they only bathe the dog (12 weeks since last hair cut)…

Sometimes you wake up super early, knock out some work on the VPN, and realize you just need to lay on the couch for about 15 minutes with the dog before you actually go in for PT.

Train hard. Night live fire and maneuver training. Section cross fire in the defense.

Doing a “dumb movies with Dad” night with the oldest. Decided on Shaun of the Dead for tonight.

The view from the office is awesome. Long days and short nights. But totally awesome.

Digging out Christmas tree stuff I found this newspaper from just before I headed off to war for the first time. Interesting time capsule from 7 September 2006.
