I just got back from seeing the medic and I have to take 800mg of motrin every 4-6 hours for my back. Why? Because I threw my back out trying to LIFT THE CARE PACKAGE I GOT FROM MY DEPARTMENT!!! Holy shit. I about died when I opened it. Let's see, where shall I start. Well, for openers, the baked goods are gone, Alicia and Nate. I squirreled away enough for me and then the others tore apart the remains, because I get the lions share. Awesome banana and cranberry bread, and my motor sergeant from another group pretty much announced that the snicker doodles were his. Peanut butter cookies? Gone. Those delicious oyster crackers? Never had a chance. The bakery items look like Walmart after a hurricane-nothing left. Thanks Alicia, those were delicious! Nate, make sure momma takes care of that ankle of yours.

I also got 2 tickets to the Halloween Monster Mash which said "No Rain Checks". Any chance I can use a "No Dust Check" on that? I had to laugh when I saw that because I know you were when you put those in their, Luke and Mark. Nice.

Marcus Tyrone Abdullah Save the People of the World Mohammad Pankow, Ted Nugent was played all last night and this morning. I just kicked back and dreamt of sitting in my stand whilst Great White Buffalo and Hibernation was playing. Nate, when I get a chance to enjoy an NA Clausthaler, I will throw in some DKM and some Molly, so I can at least imagine Im having a session w/out the hangover...

Mel and Nano, great pic. Mel, that was a beautiful dress you were in. Im sure you chose that because:

a) it looks great,

2) Nano liked it, and

d) it hides the size of your feet.

Again, Im truly sorry to hear about hound dog. He's watching over you and I know he will make himself known every time you guys hit an ice cream stand. Congrats on getting married, you guys really look great.

Lynda, I cant say thanks enough for this package. I have it only half unpacked and I can actually set up a defense in my room and outlast any attacker since I have huge food supply to live on. Again, I cant thank you enough for this package. Thanks.

Bob, thanks for getting it to me. Did Radies have to rent a van to get it to the post office? It took a week, which surprised me. I appreciate it.

If I forgot anyone, I am truly sorry ahead of time. I have so much stuff in there I was awestruck...

By the way, I am officially licensed by the Army to drive an ATV. Hopefully Ill be able to send pics soon...

Here's a quick story from last night. We were talking about Bigfoot ( of course...) and I had a couple of guys from my team reading from the website (bfro.net...mel, youve seen it) Well these guys started to really get into it. After awhile, near closing time, I had to really take a piss so I headed outside. it is pitch black and I figured I wasnt gonna go the full distance, so I scurried into the shadows so I wouldnt have to explain to anyone, no, I'm not trolling for cubscouts out here, Im actually taking a piss. As I am in the shadows, and constantly aware of my surroundings (because thats the type of cop I am...) I just happen to see one of my soldiers come out behind me, but he doesnt see me. He starts walking out of my view and I finish up my business. I am still lingering in the shadows and I here this BANG! then footsteps running as I walk into some light. Here comes this guy running down the road. I say to him, "What are doing?" and he's like, " Im scaring someone." And he's pretty happy about the fact that he hit the shitter with a rock in near pitch blackness and was able to get away scott free. I said, "Well, who are you scaring?" and he looks at me and recognizes me, his shoulders sag and has this totally defeated look on his face and says, " aw shit, sir....you." I look at him and I say, "Nice job, I think I wet myself..." We both laughed pretty hard at that point. Of course the rest of the guys inside thought it was even funnier...

I will be on and off this site do to my workload, so if it appears that you are neglected, you are not. Just have my hands full right now. Everyone, stay safe, no matter where you are, because I sure as hell am. Got things to do when I get back...

Dont be afraid to hit me up with hunting stories. Ed, Lynda told me ya had to change your shorts when ya got that bear...

See ya in the funny papers
