Home home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play, where seldome is heard, a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day... Or... at least something like that, I was never sure what the words to that were, so I kinda did my best to fill in the gaps that I didnt know. Speaking of home, I am so ready to be there, and it is becomming more and more into sight each day. We will officially depart beautiful Rhein Main Air Base Germany on the second of july, and from then on, its all gravy! I'm talking the kinda thick gravy with the yummy sausage chunks in it, yeah, you know what I'm talking about! The next day I will be passing through DFW airport for a few hours on a layover, and also for a quick taste of things more framiliar. Hopefully Bri and my family will be able to stop by so I can see them. Then its on to big bad sac town, but after the weekend and a day of inprocessing, my wonderful glorious leave will be starting and I will be comming home for a couple weeks. I cannot wait, like I want it so bad it hurts! But untill that time comes, I will be enjoying my time left in germany. Its not so bad here, actually its pretty awesome, and due to an oversight in ouyr finance department, recently I just got paid a little more to be here. So I got not complaints other than this isnt texas. This weekend we are going to Prague, and mabye Auschwitz(sp). The weekend after that I'm heading down south to salzburge to see Bri's brother Mac play in the Fort Worth youth orchistra, which I am definately looking foreward to. Its will be nice to see people that I at least remotely know other than the people deployed with me. After that, my traveling days might be over, we arent sure, but a few people are getting upset becasue stuff doesnt go there way and they are getting out, so it will be a smaller group of people doing the traveling which means that the overall price goes up. As far as today goes, it has been long and a day I would not want to repeat. Nothing really messed up, but there was just alot to do and I was on the turd herder. Ooohhhh, there was one little incedent today. I was going inside a c17 to make sure it flushed while the other guy was pumping the blue juice. It just so happened to not be flushing at first, and I noticed that there was another buton below the flush one (I had noticed this before, but this time the cover was removed and it was all metal). Well, whatever was in that little metal button just happened to jam into my finger, and it also just so happened that the little thing that jammed into my finger was connected to a very hot(ie. electric) wire. Yeah, so not only did I get stapped, I got the snot shocked out of me! I freaked and hit the latrine wall behind me and looked at my finger, and it melted the latex glove I had on, and there was black all around the place where it stabbed me. So just a warning to all you curious georges out there, dont hit the button if you dont know what it does, especially if the button is located in a not so well maintaned restroom.
