A Major award!

Three years ago, I was promoted to Captain. This evening my commander informed me that my promotion to Major was approved. Woot!

Updates and such

I’m finally back online. My computer decided to give me the BSOD the other day, and then corrupt one of my partitions. Windows was loading sloooooooooowly and freezing, and wasn’t much better after a format/reinstall. So… I’m now a happy user of Ubuntu Linux. Other than a couple of glitches here and there, things are [...]

Happy Saturday!

I was surfing the net this morning and came across this error message: Apparently, Firefox isn’t a “normal” browser. Thursday evening, my squadron did a flag disposal ceremony for a local retirement community in honor of Flag Day. The cadets did such an outstanding job. Here are a few pics. Aren’t they sharp? I’m about [...]

It’s June already?

I miss my Rusty-bear. I took him to his foster mom last evening, because she’s taking him to be neutered tomorrow. Poor little guy. I’m not sure if dropping him off was harder for him or for me. We had to take him to the vet over the weekend, but they did some tests and didn’t [...]

No, the wildfires haven’t taken us.

A week ago (Monday morning), I walked out to my car to discover my front passenger tire was completely flat. Not a good start to the week. Mike jacked up my car (in a good way) and put the donut on for me. I know how to do such things myself, but there’s something very [...]

Commander no more.

As of 9:00 pm yesterday, I’m no longer the commander of my CAP squadron. It was a move I’d been planning for several months. It was just taking up too much of my time, and I’d gotten to the point where it was more of a headache than a joy. I make it a practice [...]

As we go to dear old Sikeston…

I say this almost every entry, but I really need to get better about blogging. Almost every day something happens and I think, “I need to blog this,” and then time is short and I don’t. Lots and lots going on. I started my new job on Sept 28th. I really enjoy it so far. [...]

Back to the grind.

Had a good time this past weekend. I left at 4:00 PM Friday for Florida Wing Conference in Orlando. It was at the Grosvenor “Resort” in Orlando. Really, this place was like a glorified Holiday Inn. The pool area was nice, but that’s about it. Anyway we took eight cadets down, and several senior members. [...]

Captain B

As of 15 minutes ago, I was promoted to Captain. Wooo hoo!

So um, yeah. I’ve been AWOL.

Haven’t posted in FOR-EH-VUR. (Anyone know what movie that’s from? Anyone?) Stuff has been so hectic with CAP, work, etc. the last few weeks. I believe I’m about to catch my breath and get back to “normal” (whatever that is). We had a huge fundraiser/PR/recruiting/community service event this past weekend where we parked cars for [...]
