Neat freaks need not apply

Random thoughts:

Erin go Braugh, or bratwurst for you Pittsburghers.

Taking  the morning off.  “The wall” reared its ugly head and I hit it. What did the fish say when he hit the wall? Dam! That was for Bruce.

Tim is teaching the “Kandahar Reel” in class today. That is so cool. Wish I was there. Maybe I should do the Noe Valley Reel here.

Power and internet are off this morning.  Writing this on battery power and candle light.

There are actually two hotels on KAF, the Kandahar Hotel and the Bull and Bear.  Walked to the “Bull” and bought a nice cup of tea.

Just propped the door open and did a little Spring cleaning on two-two-niner. Clean here is a relative term. We live in dirt and mud. If you saw my clinic you’d be appalled. But it is actually quite clean. When I first got into one of our trucks I thought, “Don’t they ever clean these things, geeze.” But now I realize that it’s a waste of time. We have to wash them to take them to maintenance so they come back clean. Even our ambulance is dirty. My old “Regional 1  l brain” shocked.

Flip flopped down to get my laundry. So nice to drop off and three days later clean and folded. All washed in super hot water so if it was too big before, fits great now, if it was tight before, it’s even tighter now

I had to buy a new watch. The one I had fixed and had a new battery installed just up and died. No watch repair here, what a shock. So will mail it back to Casio. They don’t ship to APO’s, like a lot of places so will be waiting for me in SF.  Bought a very cool freestyle watch. Very cool.  Cheapest watch in KA-F $60.

We get paid once a month. No me gusta. I don’t like. Will be fine after April but all this hot milk granola and supplies is adding up. You could live here and never spend a dime. But have to “gear up’ for first month.

When you  live with the Military, everything is an abbreviation. I have decided to ask instead of just nodding my head. I still have no ide what anybody’s talking about.

Thanks to all my friends that I have been bugging favors from. Makes my job a lot easier. I won’t be stopping soon, btw. J

I hear gas prices are through the roof there. Glad my poor Explorer is parked. E took it for a spin but had to call AAA for a jump. Poor thing. And E too…
