Dead Goat Wake up Call

This morning when I went to work-out I walked the back way off the main road and ran into a dead mother goat. I thought oh, how disgusting, and kept walking then I saw its baby; dead too. It must have been the dogs last night they were barking for about a half hour. It started with a couple then all twenty started in. I went to go take a pic of the thing and it was gone. I really wanted to show you, bummer!

Any way I had a good work out on the elliptical for an hour. I'll probably run this afternoon with the other guys. I'm going to have to cut down on the food in-take though.

Also a side note I haven't set my computer to the Philippines time so when you see a blog it will be in Alaska time I am a day ahead. So today is Monday, you may see it as Sunday and so on.

It would be fun without a pic so here is the water tower on the camp.

Beautiful Sunday

OK you saw Saturday rainy day...look at today it is beautiful I should have layed out and soaked up some sun. I took a walk and found some kids begging for money and food. They said I was extremely white and made fun comparing my skin to theirs. I kept walking around and found in the sun that my skin IS extremely white. I will have to work on that while I am here.

Just Another Day In Paradise

Well, this is the way the morning went and early afternoon. It never got sunny just cloudy all day. I was able to get some movies in and lounged around.

Monday I'll start my work out and get some awful before pictures so you can make fun.

Enjoy the video it is footage of right outside the back of the Hospital.

Oh, by the way, did I tell you about flying over the volcano that blew by Clark AFB in the PI years ago? This is it! The whole right side is gone. Surprisingly the vegetation has grown back quickly, it doesn't look like there was an eruption other than the side of the mountain is gone.

Having Fun in the PI

You can't tell but these are some wild Turkeys on the camp. They go wherever they want. They are the typical turkeys too, they will ruffle their feathers and attack passers-by. This is the jogging road that is not easy to run on because of the large rocks.


For all you military folks this is base housing. Consider yourselves lucky to have what you do. There is no doors windows or facilities with running water. There is our Doc running on the road his first day, you can see how humid it is in the pic.



This is a papia (not sure of the spelling) tree I did not know how they grew it is pretty neat. One of the officers from the Phil AF took one down and cut it up for me, of course they teased me about the side affects that it has. I won't have to worry about that here.

This is me before the big game I went over to the court to play B-ball with my Nine. We won the first game and then I had to sit out. I couldn't catch my breathe.

Hello from the PI

Here are my five star accommodations! I feel like a king here in the PI. From the pics you can see my room and massive bed, my shelving unit and desk/closet.

The hall with all the doors are the other rooms. At the other end is the ER/OR.

We actually have running water now in the kitchen. Of course we can't drink it or brush our teeth with it.

This is the day room and the big screen, it was great for watching Wolverine!

Out side the front entrance to the ER is this huge tree. It is so big I want to climb it, but I was told it is bad luck for some reason. I took some pics of the coral and shells on the ground.

Everyday so far it has rained a pretty good thunder storm and has cleared up a little the sun is covered by clouds most of the time. But it still gets hot and is always muggy.

Hope you enjoy I'll have more pics on the way. Keep a look out for the housing here on camp! WOW!

Welcome to Beautiful Alaska

Just thought I would share some recent pics of Alaska...Enjoy!

Earth Date November 2008

It certainly has been a very long time since I filled you in on my wonderful life. Well here goes; I recently signed up for more classes after last semester Principles of Management and Business Law...an A and a B! Thank you. I started this week a research writing class and a basic computer class, should be fun. Hopefully my blog entries will be spelled correctly and sound better.

Two days ago I started a little project on the stairs and all I have to do is grout and seal. It's hard to see but it is slate in some very different colors, it looks so good.

Looks great, right?

I started another project when Jen was in Utah...The Master Bedroom. Here is what we saw everyday in the "bedroom." It's hard to believe we put up with the color.

So I started with the carpet and pulled it up, it was green too. Then went to the painting. I started with the ceiling with a nice mellow cream, then went to the chocolate brown bottom half and a nice taupe on the upper. I then finished it off with a chair rail, base boards, and crown. it really looks like, as Jen put it, a "magazine bedroom." Oh, I can't forget about the floor, I found a nice dark laminate I also put it in the closet too. I am sure Jen will show you all the updated and finished pics when she gets time.

I put all of our stuff in the living room while doing this. It's a good thing Jen wasn't home to see all this happening. I knocked out a wall too. Just to make the family room a little bigger. I also rerouted the Dish on the front of the house to the side. It is no longer at the front door!!

In the middle of all this Garrett got his Bear badge for cub scouts. He is actually wearing a black bear skin.

And how can I forget check out my beautiful smile.
