Burning out the infield.





Too many birds around the airfield flying into one too many aircraft results in burning out the entire infield in one 12 hour day. Good Times! We have started getting a lot more calls lately. Which is great because we were starting to run out of 'your mama' jokes. C-Webb, a little help here. Well not much longer, I will continue to post till I leave as long as I get some photos or have something half-way interesting to say. . . . . . . . . unlike this post.......hmmm.......OK then........ Oh yeah, thanks Grant for the photos, keep up the fine work huh.

Rappelling off the tower.






Pics. of rappelling off the aircraft control tower. It's almost 200 feet from the very top. Very scary going over the edge on that one. Nice view though. Tomorrow we get to teach the people who work there how to do it in case of emergencies. Should be interesting. 16 days and counting!!! James

Leggett getting even.


Jason finally got even for the foam on his head while he was sleeping. I kinda think he took it a little too personal.

Sen. McCain visit.



We got a chance to briefly meet and greet Sen. John McCain a little while back. Very nice man who took the time to talk to, and shake hands with everyone present. Naval Aviator shot down in Vietnam, and survived 5 and a half years as POW. Amazing......Also in the photo, 4-star General Petraeus. 'The Main Man' over here. Also super nice. Shook hands and took photos with everyone who wanted one.....James

Easter Egg Hunting.

Yeah, I saw a big ass mud pit and I was in! Say no more. There were over 3000 eggs hidden, but the 'special' ones were rumored to be in the mud. Yeah, real 'special' I managed to find one, and was thrilled to find out what I'd won. A heart shaped tin, with shower gel and a spankin new spongue thingy inside. So I deferred to another basket with shave cream and a razor. A couple of the guys I work with were quite upset though. They really wanted the shower stuff. Hmmmm.......James

Hookah.



Friday night is hookah night. Yep, were wild and crazy over here. Tobacco and non-alcoholic beer, yipeee! Somebody got super crazy and filled the hookahs with Mountain Dew and orange Fanta. The orange was good but not the dew. About four - ish more weeks to go. James

Hair growing back.



Mmmmm, Copenhagen. James

Controlled Burn?



Here is a great photo that someone else took. Probably Grant Gimpel again. I'm not sure who the guy is. I was not there with them. Great photo though. We were asked to clear a couple fields, looks like it was successful. James

March is gone!



Third one down, one and a half to go! James
