I gotta retain some mystery. The people on here already know enough about me.

I try really hard to do breakfast but it isn't easy these days. I am at work by 7 am each morning, and every day I have to get up, take care of mattie, clean the house, and get myself out the door in a reasonable amount of time. Doesn't give me a whole lot of time to work up a bowl of oatmeal ya know?

I think he's trying to prove he's not scared to climb on a roof, but refuses to pick up a broom to sweep off a new deck.

Maybe you were joking, maybe you weren't. Guess we'll never know.

If I'm in a hurry to get out the door, I'll at least grab an apple, granola bars, or something.

I can't remember the last time I woke up at 11am...wait, perhaps it was sometime during April. But, yes, when I wake up at 11am, I need to have breakfast/lunch. When I'm home, my animals won't let me sleep in at all. They want breakfast too.

Very few homeowners will spring for the composite. Very pricey, but it's like everything else you buy in life. You get what you pay for. I really like working with the product, but for what it cost per foot you don't want to be making any mistakes for more reasons than one. It makes for very poor campfire wood as for one example for it's uses if ruined.

You all have been BUSY.......

Just an update for those of you keeping tabs: I'm out of Iraq now, sitting in Qatar waiting on my Rotator home. It felt great to get out of there! Had a nice ride on a C-130J, turned in all my battle-rattle, then had my limit of three **REAL** beers (Heinekens). Went to sleep with a smile on my face, even though it was in a crappy transient tent. I'll be home shortly!!

I'll catch up on the thread now -- I just wanted to post this in the mean time. It's good to be on a decent connection for a change, so it won't take me ALL DAY to read a few pages... (Sorry can't stop grinnin'!!)

Technically, I'm still in the "sand box", just a different one. But it sure is a load off when you no longer have to worry if the next piece of crap that gets launched into the base is going to hit you or not. That, and drinking a REAL beer.

Yea, technically speaking you are, but I figure you're sitting in a nice air conditioned building now, not out in the "field". Now we just have to hope that someone else doesn't think your ride should be used for something else more important so you can begin the ride home.

The temps back home are nice. Low 90's but we'll have to re-introduce you to that little thing we call humidity.
