Say Hello to My Little Friends Eaten Alive (by Mosquitos)

This is our Phil crew that has come over for a visit to get to know us. They are the trauma for the camp. They are really nice. I made a cake and we had ice cream and cookies. Sounds really corny but they went crazy for it. they really like ice cream. So the next day they and most of our crew went down town and did about a hundred circumcisions. The right of passage in their culture. I did not go because of some GI issues so I held down the fort.

It's been two weeks since I last looked at American soil. It's been fun here, but I thought I would get away from the giant mosquitos of Alaska, I was wrong just look what they are doing to me here. This is just the half of it. I have bites on my arms, and can you believe my fingers? If you can't tell that is my chicken leg. I really need to start spraying myself more often. I do spray but sometimes we just can't predict when we will be outside.

Thank You for Your Support

Thanks to all those that would like to support the troops and airmen. I told Jen today that she would have to give the address out on e-mail when she gets requests for it. I am happy to receive items of any kind. The bottled water here that we have to drink is very bad tasting too because of the minerals that they add to it, so the little drink mix packs i.e. Crystal Lite and so forth are like gold over here. We are not proud so you can get the generic brands to save a little cash. We also might have to coordinate delivery with Jen so I don't get a ton of olive oil. I have a comment on the last blog entry that a bottle will be heading this way, thank you very much. Wet wipes are not needed and little trial size snacks and the like are welcome. Oh I like car magazines too. I need to replace the girly mags that are here!! Thank you all for your support and prayers, but I think the prayers should be directed to Jen with all the kids. I hope I don't get home and find her locked in the closet from a child mutiny. She seems to be doing alright, but that's her life (the kids). That's why I love her so much. I am also glad she is doing this apron and purse thing I really think it is great. Maybe I'll be a stay at home dad some day. I don't think I could have done this with any other person. Again thank you and I look forward to the surprises.

Here is some coral and shells that is everywhere here.

More Birthday Wishes For My Love

I stole this pic from my beautiful wife's blog. You may recognize it. Hope you don't mind. I can't wait to get home, although I might have to stay till December??!! We'll see what happens. By then we will be going on our Anniversary trip I can't wait.

Happy Birthday and many more. I wish I could put a song on this pic, the one I would put to it is Rascal Flats Fast Cars and Freedom. Then put on Gavin DeGraw I'm in love with a girl. So put it on when you view this blog. I love you Jen.

By the way I'm going to win that apron. Ha Ha Ha Ha (laughed Sinisterically) (by the way I made up that word)

If You Care To

Like I said, I love to cook but we are limited on the things we can cook to supply on hand. If you would like to send a care package (large flat rate box) would cost less than $12 no matter the weight. I don't have any olive oil or the Montreal steak seasoning. If you can e-mail Jen for the address as I won't be able to display it here she will send it to you and you can send the stuff directly to the guys here. We would all appreciate it very much. There is a group that I would like to thank and that is the Blue Star Mothers they send stuff here on a regular basis if the names of those stationed here are presented to them. Thank you for the goodies. Well so long for now tune in tomorrow for my next adventure.

Lunch Hit

Well some of you know that I love to cook, (kitchen mostly). So I am somewhat bored over here and decided to in my free time cook for the guys. Here is what I started with...

This is the chicken that I had to clean they brought it to me on the rib cage and one of them still had the heart! Way cool.

That's its little heart in my hand.

This is the end result, broiled chicken Alfredo. I was able to have our house keeper get us some peppers and tomatoes. I cubed them and sauteed them then put the Bertolli's Alfredo sauce in, warmed it up and spread it over the pasta.

This is the surgeon and the anesthetist cleaning up. I think they all enjoyed it.

Happy Birthday Jen

I will be the first to wish Jen a Happy Birthday seeings how it is the 23rd today for me and still the 22nd for you all. I trust she will have a good time. Kadie is helping out with that. Of course I can't spoil the supprise if she reads this, so we will have to wait till tomorrow for the results of her 29th birthday bash. I Love You Jen. Happy Birthday!

Earth Date 21 April 2009

Well it is two days before Jennifer's 29th birthday!! She can't wait till I get home with her birthday present. I can't wait either! I think she is having a party (don't get too crazy).

Here is what I woke up to this morning. When I worked out at 0600 it was 79 degrees F and probably around 90% humidity. It was not cool in either respect.

Can you imagine this is what we pay for breakfast and dinner (two meals a day) for a week? It's outrageous. Not really it works out to about $40. It is ok for the surroundings. But is nothing like the Hotel in Manila.

This artist guy on the camp is really good he painted this warrior in less than one day. It's pretty good.

I don't know who did the Red Cross that has been here for a while.

I am so glad to see I have quite a following. That is so nice. I don't know any of you but that's ok. Just kidding.

An up date on the dead goat it was killed Chuck Norris the dog. He killed one a while back and we had to pay 1000P. This time maybe more, because of the baby. They didn't even put him down they evidently took him to an outpost. There are way too many dogs here. Yesterday I was bit by a Flea. Hope I don't see to many of them, because of my allergy to them.
