April Chat Thread

Hey everyone !!
A new month is upon us. I got everything I need for my upcoming R&R! Now just burning days until I head out. I am so ready to see my family and spend some time relaxing.

I'm sure you can't wait! I can't believe it's April already. Any word from our fearless leader (I say that jokingly) yet on when all troops are out of Afghanistan yet?

No,
It seems to be like herding cats over here sometimes. I only have a few more months till I am finally out of here for good. I extended so I could retire and I will have a little over 21 months in country when all is said and done.

Kart racing looks like a ton of fun and a lot cheaper than other forms of racing. The people on the GSKA site are super friendly and really willing to help out newbies. I can't wait to give it a try.

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter! Might have a little cooler temps in Georgia this weekend, if we didn't have all this pollen, I might think about getting a nice coat of wax on the cars...I probably still will...just do it quick!

A big welcome to ramrod912 and Adam Ant to the Georgia Forum !!
I got into it with our OIC today, He really p'd me off and I let him know it. He decided to leave me alone the rest of the day. Probably a good thing. Only a few more days till I leave on my vacation!! The traveling is the worst part, not just like getting on a plane in the states. Can't wait to finally breath in clean some Georgia air!!! Real food!! Sleeping in my own bed!!

Well, safe travels! When is your flight?

The weather has been awesome here the past week, I have been wanting to do some car cleaning...but the pollen is really ramping up each day. Might just do some washing and wait to get some polish and wax started.

New Andretti Karting is going in to the old Burlington Coat Factory location on GA 120/Roswell Road near the Big Chicken.



I am a card holder anytime you want to come out let me know.

Just going to do a quick paint job on it in the next couple of weeks. Working toward getting both completely redone before the summer of '16.
