Playing in the sandbox continued

Well its Thursday.  Today is a big day here at the sandbox.  We all got our computers up and running.  We are now able to communicate with the rest of the base.  There has been way too much sitting around and trying to play at work.  When you can't email and talk on the phone, its hard to work.

We had a big staff meeting this afternoon and met all the people we will be working with and for.  They seem look a great group of people.  Even the Big boss ( I won't mention names.  I don't think they would like that. )

I really can't wait to really get started working.  It has been so long since I have worked, it is like so cool to work.  There is so much to do here, I can't wait to get started.

I was outside tonight enjoying the night air, it s about 90 degrees but there was a nice wind blowing and it felt like it was about 70 degrees.  I was watching the planes take off and land.  It is so cool to see the fighter jets  take off and see the flames coming out of the tail and then they just disappear.  They are so fast, it is amazing. All of the planes take off without lights at night.  You hear them but don't see them, and there are a lot of them.  I thought I would be bothered by them at night, but I haven't missed a beat sleeping.

The food is already starting to get old.  I miss my wife's cooking.  I would love to have some of her meatloaf or pot roast (boiled meat for Brenda) or something like that.  That will happen soon enough.  It gives me something to look forward to.

I am back in the b-hut for the night.  Home sweet home.  6' x 6' ain't much, but is home.  I thing I will try and download a movie and watch it tonight.

Well I will step out of the box for now.  type to you soon.
