The Jack I'll take though, as long as you sit and help me drink it.
Hey Lisa, I mean crappier in that if y'all seen the video I posted of my first "hooch" at COP (Combat Out Post) Gannon, I had my own room, or as we effectionatly called it a "jack shack" LOL. Now, at COP Ubaydi, a half hour east of Gannon, I have a little more space, but am now bunking it w/ another Marine, and between his two footlockers and all our assorted bags and crap, it's kinda tight, and no privacy. And we're only here for another 2 weeks plus, and then an 8 hour drive further east to turn in our trucks and heavy guns, and then we go back to Al Asad (flying) to wait for order to re-mission us. Unfortunately we're gonna get broken up, and as tight as we are that really sucks. At least we'll all be on the same flight home though....

Thats understandable, haha
Damn, I wish I could go Hawaii. Ive been trying to go almost half my life. I dont know how you were in Hawaii and you didnt take lessons, I figured that came standard on any trip you book to Hawaii lol.
Anit it a biatch? Thats how it is sometimes though..
How are you chewing up belts like that man? thats pretty bad.
What kinda 4-wheeler do you have?
Haha. Naw, our birthdays are a week apart, and we went to Hawaii for 10 days. Since we had her 30th at home, when we got to Hawaii I paid for snorkelling and she paid for the dolphin encounters.
What a week and a half. I hope I never forget it. Rental Jeep with the top down every day almost, quiet beaches, swimming with dolphins... Found a really cool Irish pub too. My only regret is not taking surfing lessons.

So...had an exciting time on the way home.
Had I been younger, more naive, and easily bought..I would've gotten into an accident on the way home.
So I'm going down 1st street in Cedar Rapids...driving along minding my own business. Two tattooed punks in a Blazer drive up next to me, start to try and drag race me. They take off and "win the race" and we get to a portion of the road where 1st separates from Williams. I continue on first, the Blazer is doing 50 mph, easy, in a 35 zone down Williams.
Two seconds later, I hear screeching brakes...Blazer gets in a head-head collision with another car, trying to pull out from first onto Williams.
I called 911 and the emergency dispatch already knew about it. By the time I got off the phone with them, there were dozens of people out in the street helping the people in the cars, and the people involved in the accident were out and walking around.
I came home, called the non-emergency line and told them I had witnessed the accident if they need any additional info.

I am very thankful that you didn't take that bait, Lisa. We wouldn't want you getting hurt or possibly hurting someone else.
That was sort of like the guy that wanted to race me in his Mustang on Saturday. Downtown Willis, Saturday morning.
I don't think so. What an idiot.

I watched him in slow motion 
And about Chris catching that thief, you know you DON'T want him to catch him, because Chris would be up on murder charges.
But I know what you mean, I felt that way when my daughter's car was broken into.

The saga continues..........
I got a phone call from FL a little while ago it seem that the soon to be ex was found passed out in her car in front of a storage bay that she had rented last Friday. They tried to wake her up to no avail, so they called the ambulance. I'm trying to find out what happened with no luck what so ever. J-L was there when I got the call and it didn't faze her at all.
