they toil not, neither do they knit...........
And I'm gonna cry all the way.......to my nice cozy detention center. Heh...........
Off to the field for the week. For those of you who are wondering, I pulled my last article, just in case. Call me crazy, but in a unit full of 97Bs...........
At any rate, I've got a place to live, sort of. It's an on post six pack, and I'll have it on the 4th of January. So, just two weeks and change livin' out of a motel. (no, no guest lodging. they don't allow the furballs.) I'm gonna get to leave halfway through the exercise and go get Joy. Whee.......
I'm all packed up with the essentials. Plenty of wiping material, plenty of caffeine, a leatherman, plenty of caffeine, lots of clean socks, caffeine, 550 cord, caffeine, and reading material (may double as item number one depending on the quality......) extra batteries, caffeine.........
Things I wished I'd packed, my woobie, more caffeine, ibuprofen, immodium (absolutely essential), 90 mph tape, and an x-box. (Halo party on hill 181? What hill 181, sir? I don't know what you mean.......)
I also wish I was taking my knitting, but I figure I've had a rough enough week without taking that kind of shit from the gun bunnies. Pull string, gun go boom. (Chosun manse!!!!!!!!) Laugh it up guys, yeah I knit, but I'm going to be nice and warm come winter on the FOB. Considering what happened to some friends at Ft. Drum a few years ago, (whoops, were those our mortars in your M.I. mess tent?) it's already too much like fraternizing with the enemy being attached to Field Artillery battalion anyways.
I found an awesome yarn by a company called Bernat. Among other things, they make different camouflage colored yarns, and I've GOT to try making an ACU (the new army uniform) afghan. They've got the color in a yarn called Bernat Camouflage Renegade. Maybe with the green velcro..........
So if I owe anyone email (yes I know, ssg geezer), I'm leaving early tommorow, and I'm probably incommunicado for a few days.
This is the upswing of the bipolar phase, so tonight I love you one and all. Hell, the unit's even going better.
"Good night, Wesley, I'll most likely kill you in the morning"
Yours truly,
