I work, and too much. When I get off work 8 Sunday morning, I'll be at 82 hours for the week. Yea, 82 hours. 75.5 last week, 82 this week, no less than 60 next week. Could be worse, could be zero. That happens with too many people. Its all good. I get two days of wheeling at the beach on the 25 & 26th.

I deal with Unexploded Ordnance around the world. From your back yard to the sands of the great deserts. Trained in the USAFR EOD program, I retired Dec 1 after nearly 9 years of active duty and the rest in the reserves.
I have many friends in Iraq right now as well as in the Armed Forces around the world fighting terrorism. Some dont find their way home. I pray for the families whose sons and daughters gave the ultimate sacrifice in serving this great country. I will never again set foot on the sands of the Middle East. To all my buddies over there...I Love You All. Come home safe. Take care.

A high school buddy of mine went Air Force EOD, I couldn't help but laugh at the irony. He was the guy that could make a bomb out of darn near anything I thought it was kinda like giving a Zippo to a pyromaniac
