Groundhog Day ...

As promised, an update with pictures. This is me waiting for Left-Eye to pick me up in Blue Steel. A cautionary word about Blue Steel ... this car's wheels somehow move independently of the rest of the vehicle. Fortunately its a great car to leave out in a parking lot through the Minot winter. Unfortunately its now a permanent fixture in the parking lot at work. So we got up a second time to do the same mission all over again, hoping we wouldn't have the same problems as the day prior. We took off and many many hours later found ourselves in Guam. Unfortunatley Super Typhoon Ioke never showed. I was hoping to get a picture. It was an eventful flight though: we ate like kings and had "Snakes on a Plane"This is a picture of Nick downstairs fighting off one of the many cobras which had come to infest the offensive compartent of the plane. This snake in particular caused us many issues and came to be known as Cobra Commander. He's been leaving me little notes on my computer at work since we arrived. I also sounded like an ass more times than I can count with San Francisco Center, played Super Mario 2 on the Crazy 11, and tried in vain to sleep. I got a cool picture of our #2 jet getting refueled by a KC-10.
When I woke up this morning (Thursday) and turned on ESPN, the Yankees and Tigers were playing, the Yankees had just gone up 3-2. I quickly realized this game was happening in real time ... lastnight, if that makes any sense. I lost a whole day in the last 3 weeks of my twenties flying to Guam. Here is a picture of the house crew 4 will be living in for the next 4 months. I know what you're thinking and yes it does look like a Flintstone house. We went to briefings all day and now I am in the chow hall thanking God for WiFi connections. Till next time ...
