Wazzzup?
Progress Report
I'm still on my FOB. I did end my job officially on Thursday. I did mail off that last box on Saturday. I'm down to the stuff that I will carry onto the plane out of here (1 duffel bag, a ruck sack, and a carry-on (my laptop)).
I've managed to get and keep enough good will with the people that replaced the 1st ID crew at the MWR that I have no problems getting into the office when no one is using it, and using the internet line there. Which is what I have been doing to kill time the last few nights (including tonight, obviously).
The MWR's CD library has had a bunch of new contributions to it since I last went through it. So, tonight, I am reading some news (baseball news at the moment, may post some stuff on that later) and ripping CD's to MP3. I'm ripping B.B. King: Live in the Cook County Jail, at the moment.
There is a bunch of latin music that appeared. So, I am going to rip that. My wife, in particular, enjoys that. I like it, but not enough to invest much in it, in terms of CD's. I figure there is probably some stuff here that she will enjoy. So, I am going to take it back on my hard drive for her.
I'll probably be posting to the blog throughout the night. I haven't had much chance to follow the news over the last week or two.
After tonight, the next posts on this blog will probably come from Germany.
BTW, I have no idea why the first three CD covers are not loading in the box on the right. I checked that out earlier. There seems to be some problem with them on the service that hosts my pictures. Most everything else seems to be coming through okay, though.
