Hopefully Mrs Radonc1 will be okay with the change of no kiddos around AND you being gone?

I got a nice laugh out of this... For some reason, I had to read it a second time, picturing every step of the process.

I'm glad they spoiled the new stadium's opener.

Yeah, it was good.

Also, this is post 1500 in the Box. A fitting end; night, Box.

In order to work around explosives and be successful, a certain detachment from normalcy is required. @:-)

We do, however, as a subculture, have many opportunities for great photo ops:

Two thousand pounds of explosives and a couple of large shaped charges. :D

A very good day. The Giants stunk but they just let Romo give them the game. No matter how much talent he has, he always makes a mistake at a key juncture that will cost the Cowgirls the game.

I love it. :D

So we were on the 12/31 redeye from SEA-IAH connecting to NRT. They moved the redeye from 1145PM on 12/31 to 110AM on 1/1. Do you think they'll let me push it back to the redeye on 1/1 and getting into NRT a day later? I originally booked it to get my +1 silver before the year's end, but won't need it now, so I'd prefer 1 less day in NRT.

Nicely. ^

That shot was taken while I was deployed to that base, but I don't know who she is.

Someone's wife is sitting there, all the better that she isn't mine since that pic is out there.

Those trucks are special orders to USAF spec. They're called bobtails, and the short wheelbase is for pulling trailers full of ammo and getting around tight spaces on the flightline and in the work spaces. They have the large Dodge turbodiesel under the hood and that little truck can pull about 40,000 pounds.

Any woman that plays with explosives is my kind of woman. ;)^

So glad to hear that. Labs are my favorites. I had labs growing up, and if/when we get a family dog, it will definitely be a lab.






Can we come! Please! We Boxers are very well behaved at weddings :D:D:D
We might even be able to persuade sdm1130 to bring his Elite Access carpet ....:D:D

Surgery today...thanks for well wishes. And sure ...a few more lushes at the event shouldn't bother dergon_gf too much :)

Perhaps ...although if my plan goes through there will be no band, no reception...just a few folks on a beach followed by cocktails at the bar.

*crosses fingers* Hopefully ours goes the same way.

Bah! I liked Piven's character better in season 1 before he jumped the shark and went all Jerry Mcquire......still a good show though :)



Morning, box.
