I think the Chimp above has a perfect idea for how I'd like to spend my Saturday.

;-)

Have a great weekend,

Welcome To Ali AB (COB Adder) Iraq

Image
** Note: the following information covers the period of my deployment to Ali Base from Oct 09 - Apr 10. I am now back in Texas. If you know of anybody who is currently at COB Adder/Ali Base, who is blogging about it, please let me know via the contact form, so that I can link to them from this post ... thanks. I was tasked to put together a welcome letter for some of the new guys who will be replacing us over the next few months. As part of the project, I took a picture of the wall mural above; which is one of the first things you see when you get off the plane here. As I was taking the picture, I remembered back to when I first found out I was coming here. As soon as I got home from work that day, I fired up the old macbook, and did a search for Ali Air Base , COB Adder , and Tallil (yes, this place goes by all of those names). I found a few websites and blogs, but of course I wanted to know more (especially about quality of life stuff). So, here's what we're gonna do

Riding the Iroquios Point to Pearl Harbor Grey Boat

Image
All this week, I'm attending a computer class at Hickam AFB. Seeing as how I live in Iroquois Point, all the way at the end of Ewa Beach, this presents me with the possibility of getting stuck in traffic jams and "enjoying" the comfort of my car for at least an hour each way. Fortunately, courtesy of my military ID card, I have another option ... Because this used to be military housing, the Navy still runs a shuttle boat between the dock on our side of Pearl Harbor, and several stops over on the Navy base. Since the Navy base is connected to Hickam, I just left my car on that side and have been enjoying nice 20 minute boat rides for the past two days ... and avoiding the traffic. The boat leaves the dock at Iroquois point several times between 5am and 6:30am in the morning. And runs back the other ways every hour between 2:30 and 6:30pm. Anybody with a military ID card can ride the Grey Boat, but active duty Navy and Navy DOD civilian employees have priority. If yo

January 1st - Planks

Image
Well seeing as how it's January 1st of a new year and I'm actually thinking about it, I am going to attempt to do the entire 366 pictures of the day. When possible, I'll write a (related) story to go with it. However sometimes I expect it will be enough just to get a picture posted. Today's picture is me doing planks. One of the Facebook groups that I'm in started a January challenge to do 10 burpees and 10 sit-ups every day for the rest of the month. I chose to substitute three sets of 60 second planks for the sit-ups. I also did the burpees this morning, and even had my daughter Joey join in. It was fun. I'm not one to do fitness type New Year's resolutions. But I did make some pretty good healthy lifestyle habit adjustments last year (although I didn't start until the end of January). I lost a little over 50 lb mainly through improved eating habits (I expect all right more about this in the coming year). But I did also go to the gym twice
