    The Walking Dead

    I haven't watched since the season premier.  I'm done.  That brain bashing was ridiculous.  But, besides that, I've been losing interest in the show for quite some time.  It's just not what it started out being.  I actually like the zombies to be scary and the real monster.  If I wanted to watch...

    Movie thread

    When they shot War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise, they used a bunch of humvees and stuff from the Virginia Army National Guard.  They also wanted soldiers to drive them, so that scene where all of the military equipment is rolling out to go fight the aliens, that's all Virginia Guard soldiers...

    SOLD!

    Yes, it does.  It was sad because for the past four years, we've had to make an annual summertime trip down to Virginia, bring all our rakes, and tools, and vacuums, and whatever else, go down, not stay in our own home because either A) there was somebody still living there, or B) there were no...

    SOLD!

    Unfortunately, I took a loss, but whatevs.  It's not my fault the housing market collapsed and the economy never fully recovered.

    Cubscouts

    BB Guns are allowed in cub scouts, but I thought it was only for Webelos.  Archery isn't something my cubs ever did.  I was a Cubmaster for 2 years.  Tomahawk throwing sounds a bit scary.  Yeah, the biggest concern usually with cub scouts is the fire.  They are attracted to it like flies to a...

    SOLD!

    So, as of this past Friday at approximately 2:30 PM, I sold my house in Virginia!!!  I can not begin to express how relieved I am... but also how sad I am that it is now not part of my life.  My wife and I bought it in 2004 when she was pregnant with our oldest.  We poured our souls into that...

    I'm not sure I'd call living in Alaska "the real world".  I mean, isn't it like -20 degrees there year round?  I know, I know, it's a dry cold.

    I went full bald while I was in Kuwait, but the wife saw the picture I put on Facebook and got pissed, so now it just looks thin and middle aged.

    Aging

    It happens to all of us.  First it's a whisker on your chin that you try to convince yourself is just blonde, not gray or silver.  Then, it's the increased waist size, dammit, these jeans fit fifteen years ago, why can't I still fit in a size 34 waist, I haven't put on that much weight, have I? ...

    Mosul Dam

    It sur feels that way, not going to lie, but no I did a bunch of stuff.  I helped move the ball toward the goal line.  Just didn't get it in the end zone.

    Mosul Dam

    Well, yes and no.  The bulk of the work hasn't really begun, but they've been doing some.  It will really start in earnest next month and ramp up to full grouting production in October.  Which is about 60 days behind schedule.  However, our dam safety experts assure us that it will not cause...

    Mosul Dam

    Well folks, this deployment is over.  I'm at Fort Belvoir out processing right now and heading home permanently this weekend.  Let me just say that this was an enormously complex mission with every agency you can think of getting involved from the White House, the State Department, the Office of...
