el cap-i-ton wasnt here today. easiest day ever. cleaned a little bit, then sat around and napped till 1pm. it was great. the luncheon that was suppossed to be yesterday is really NEXT monday. nice.
finally sent Steve's package today. im sure he'll enjoy it. i included pictures of my truck, to make him jealous of course ha. all in good spirit.

we got some uniform inspection friday. bought a whole brand spanking new uniform yesterday. gotta sew some patches on and iron it and its ready to go.

yea im good.

wow. so my weekend was eventful.

i went to that CS's house to help him with drywalling his basement. hes finishing it off, making it a 'hang-out' room with a bedroom and bathroom. so i helped with that; quite a learning experience. i met his family too; crazy people. but very nice. we drank beers of course, joked, worked, and chilled.
it was pretty cool. nice to get off the base for a weekend.

so tomarrow is work and theres some luncheon. gunna be a long day thats for sure.

oh well.

big day tomarrow. i am helping one of the cooks i work with on some drywall in the basement at his house. we were talking and i mentioned i liked construction and had experience in it, and he asked if i could help him out, since he was clueless. i figured since tomarrow is a deglam day and i dont have work anyways, why not spend a day doing something i enjoy??
sounds like a deal for me.
plus hes paying me, paying for my gas, and probably going to bust out a few coronas. sweet.

now i got to figure what to do the rest of the weekend...sleep is the likely option ill choose...

i got "promoted" again! now i work in the CAPTAIN'S GALLEY!!! basically the same thing as working in the officers wardroom, but for the Captain himself! its pretty cool. im at the top of the top in the FSA world. because i rock.

busy.
drove around...took josh to pick up his truck from the VW dealership...he bought an '05 VW GTI. real nice lookin. came back, bought a few things, washed my truck, took it to the beach side on base and took a bunch of pictures. fun times!

sooo yea during that comrail event i dropped my camera and its busted now. luckly rob had a real nice one he was selling, so i bought that. kindda sucks because it uses different connections and cards, so i cant use anything from my camera. and the cords and such for the one i bought off him are back at his parents house in New York. but he left today for there for some recruiting duty so he said he would bring everything for the camera back. thing is, he doesnt come back to Norfolk for two weeks. DAMN! and im not a patient person....

interesting day today.

first off, the highlight: freakin Steve called me today! and i finally picked up this time! hell yes. hes doing good; says its boring in Afgan. very boring. he deals with helicopters and explosives now. sweeeeet. it was excellent to hear from him.

so me and rob tryed trouble-shooting my computer. ended up rebooting the entire Windows system. got the virus scan i bought to semi load onto the computer...i ran a general sweep and it found a virus and a worm. i tryed to fix it, but the infection found the program first...locked it out and wouldnt let it load. damn i so close...sooo now im at a dead end. again. not sure what im going to do....very tempted to throw it under my truck and run over it a few times....

anyway, saw The Hills Have Eyes....different. not so much scary, but very suspense packed. i thought it was good, despite getting bad reviews. oh well.

so now its texting my girlfriend and being bored online.

ah yes good old weekends off of work.

today was mine and James' traditional bowling night. oh man i was horrible! out of six games i only broke 100 once. my lowest score was a freakin 76.
ouch.

better luck next time i guess. but its all about fun. and i had fun.

today was the ships Comrail event. i signed up to work at a local park. it was pretty cool. me and the OS gang helped fix the fences around the tennis court. it was nice to finally do some hands on work, not to mention it was nice as hell outside! for once.
Nashville is sure to be recognized for this, just like all the times before when they've done it.

so work today was long. some retired captain of the ship came on for a visit and they had lunch in the wardroom. so we had to set it up in a formal look. yea there was a lot of stuff. wasnt too fun. but it was over in about and hour and a half.

good old work

so today is not a good day.

first i had to come into work early. and didnt even serve. stayed till noon and didnt even serve. wow.

then my laptop has something on it, and i tryed installing a couple programs to fix it, and they wont install. so now i have a screwed up computer i cant fix. i just bought the damn thing not more than two months ago...wtf.

not to mention its cold outside, i have no food to eat, im bored and tired and broke and want to be home right now.

yes today has not been a good day.

back again. yesterday actually. and wow, yorktown (the port we visited for the ammo onload) was boring as all hell. literally.
nothing to do...woods surrounding the base...wild animals running around everywhere...it was crazy.

now we are in port for three weeks or so. nice.

sooo my computer isnt working properly today. wont connect to the internet. along with other problems...i think it has a trojan or a virus or something. dammit. some how got to figure out how to im going to fix it....more work....

good to be back either way.
