I have been wanting a kayak for sometime now.  I posted on craigslist to trade my Toshiba Excite Tablet for a Kayak and received a response.  The kayak was far from new condition, but since I never used my tablet it was a no-brainer for me.  Also, got a new tent… I’m hoping we’ll get to camp before the summer is over.  Will probably be during the week tho.

Yet another post…

I absolutely lost track of how long its been.  I have lost all interest in this website.  Since I am no longer in the military and since I no longer serve overseas, there’s not really a need for it.

I am, however, revamping the entire website.  It is in much need of some maintenance and facelifts!  I’m getting rid of Concrete5 and migrating slowly to WordPress.  Now, keyword here is SLOWLY!  It’ll get done eventually.

Yet another Christmas is upon us. I’ve all but given up on this blog… But, it doesn’t really matter. Because I just made a post!

In fact. I often wonder if I’m just wasting my money on this website.  When I was active duty, it was really useful.  I would post pictures and video of what was going on while I was overseas.  Now, it just seems like I have to maintain it for no reason.  And pay ~$120/yr….

Anyway… Merry Christmas everyone!

It has been just over 6 months since my last post. Not that I’m counting. I have successfully completed my 1st semester of school and am half way through my second semester. Haven’t taken the 1st CompTIA certification test yet, but I’m going to take my A+ test soon. Keep saying soon. Of course sooner or later soon will be here… and I’ll do it.

Not ready to post anything else… so here it is…

THE END!

Sure doesn’t seem like it’s 2012 already.  I mean… couple of days ago it was only 2011…

For me, classes start next week.  This time I’m taking 4 classes as I work toward my CompTIA certifications.

I’m super-excited to get this year going… thus far, this year has been GREAT!

As the year of the rabbit comes to an end, the year of the Dragon quickly approaches. 2011 was a good year, filled with many ups and downs, good times and bad times. 2011 seemed to last about as long as a decade. My medical board started around January and lasted until the end of October. So much has happened in this year, I’m not ready to write about it all now.  As I adjust to retired life and prepare for my 2nd career, I find myself missing the camaraderie of my military brother and sisters.  Although I’m glad I have moved on, especially when I think about the deployments and time away from family.

Anyway, enough about that.  The kids had a good Christmas.  Money is tight, but we’re surviving.  We are together as a family and safe.  We have much to be thankful for!

My thought are with our troops that are overseas!  May you come home safe and sound!

2012 WILL BE A BETTER YEAR!  And that’s that!

With only 7 days and counting until Christmas 2011,  I must admit, this is among the worst Christmases ever.  Although being deployed during Christmas was certainly not fun, Christmas without money is almost equally no fun.  Retirement from the Air Force wasn’t what I expected.  Getting my money is apparently not a priority of the Military.

I am, however, grateful that my family and I are all together and healthy.  Yesterday, early in the morning a real close friend of mine died.  The cause of the death is unknown; does not really matter.  She was too young to die.  Why does this happen?  Who knows?  Our families were supposed to spend time together this holiday.  No family should ever have to go through this… This has been on my mind since I found out yesterday.

As the cursor blinks, the words seem to have frozen.  Enough for now… ciao!
