dont know if i mentioned, but today was the perfect Fall day!

it was nice and cool, breezy, but tolerable. and some leaves fell.


it was spectacular.

probably didnt mention:

i turned my laptop over to Best Buy to be fixed. the power jack was loose and needed re-soldering.
so they sent it out to the Gateway fixer-upper place. the guy said it should take 2 to 3 weeks!

i dont believe it will, but damn thats too long of a wait. i cant live without my Technology.

well im back in VA. we took a little trip down to Charleston, SC. it was pretty nice. i only went out one day out of the 3 we were there, but i drank my ass off!! me and Lee and Jeff hit a couple bars up. it was pretty nice. great area; a lot of history.

anyway we are in port for awhile. just taking it easy and trying to save up mula for Operation: Turkey Blast. which is going to be...a blast.

duty tomarrow. hope its an easy day.

oh ya. i signed up for an account on ScotTrade.com. gettin into the stock exchange. hopein to make some more money. itll be a small start at first. but once i got the greens rolling in (hopefully i made second class), ill up the buy/sell ratios.
good deal!

back in Norfolk! glad to be.

Kyle leaves for IRAQ tomarrow. im kindda sad he has to go, but im more proud he is!!
i know he will do just fine. cant wait to hear from him, and cant wait to see him in person!

i made a facebook group to support him. it pretty much rocks. click it out!


"Good luck Kyle, my brother. God Bless and Rock On."

well we are in Yorktown. onloading ammo. its quite boring.
all cell phones have to be turned off, no radios, no internet...and the work days are long. not to mention everything is spread out on the base....and theres practically nothing to do.

oh loads of fun.

sunday. im watching Lee's apartment for a couple days while him and his wife are at the hospital. she's going to have their baby tomarrow morning!
a little boy; Dillion.

im going to visit after they have him. should be quite exciting!!

ive got my online banking thing all sorted out finally!!

i was having problems registering. turns out i was already registered when i opened the account! haha i didnt even realize i was.

but i got it. now i can track everything online. very good. especially when underway.

im happy now!

got my flu shot today. actually it wasnt a shot at all, it was the nasal spary application.
i hate shots anyhow.

so now im protected!!

anyway this morning was my first petty officer of the watch, watch. 4-8am. it was long, boring, and i was tired.
but i did an excellent job i was told.

hurray!

...hungry...

i was thinking about flying home for Thanksgiving, so i got to looking at airfare.

and?

its freakin outrageous they get away with it. the cheapest i found, with the times i wanted to leave, was something like $499 roundtrip!

ive gotten better; like 250. im not paying that much.

so it looks like i will be driving. which is fine too, because now i can bring my paintball gear and the bike with me.

might have to come up with a scam to be able to leave work early on Wednesday...muahaha...

october! woot.

i called sprint today. got a flyer in the mail about a free cell plan checkup. they look at the last three months of your usage and determain if theres a better plan to suit my needs.

so i called. and the lady discussed and analyzed. so now i am enrolled in a 450 anytime-minute, unlimited walkie-talkie and text message plan for 39.99! better than the 55 something i was paying before. hopefully my bills will be much cheaper from now on.
