  1. I finished it about 15 minutes into the flight and was happy with the reco. Which one is about the white house take over? I want to read it but I guess I'lll have to excercise some discipline and start at the beginning!

     

    Thanks again.

  2. I was afraid to go to the casinos last night after I finished searching for places and had dinner so I stopped at Border's and picked up the 3rd option. I almost finished it, and should be done by the time I land in Indy. It makes lots of references to the white house take over I obviously picked the wrong place to start, but I'm glad you made the reco. It's been a fun read!

  3. How does it compare to Clancy or Ludlum? I used to love Clancy, but after reading Ludlum, Clancy feels like amateur hour. I might just have to find a book store and read a chapter or two...I could use a book for the flight home.

  4. Wellllll...I'm out here and it's over 100 degrees. I was kinda nervous because it's been awhile since I've been out here, but over 100 degrees is actually comfortable compared to Indiana at 85!

     

    I drove by the office and it is very nice, I go there tomorrow to meet everyone and all that. I'm flying back to Indiana sometime on Wednesday, and I have found an apartment that I am willing to move into if I don't find anything else.

     

    Talk about a successsful mission. Day 1 and all mission criteria have been met.

     

    Moss did you see my posts down in sports talk? UFC 64 with Rich Franklin in October...we might need to make it happen!

  5. GSP has a groin injury and he's out...but BJ Penn is stepping in to fill his place. Don't think he'll pull off the choke again though. Should be a great fight still, but I like GSP's skill too.

  6. Hehe I was working on getting a job in Minneapolis, but I live in Indianapolis until I move to Las Vegas in a week or two. I'm flying out on Monday to find a place and meet everyone...so I'll probably be making the trip alone and by airplane (unless Moss flies out of vegas).

  7. is on right now, getting ready to go into the third round of the 1st fight.

     

    UFC 64 is back in Las Vegas in October, but tix are $450 at ticketmaster. Don't think I"ll be able to afford it yet, but we need to start saving up to go watch one of these Moss.

  8. Longhair's mom would make these philipino burritos (not for his older brother) and when he would come home he would have like 20 of these massive asian chimichangas and they were so good. I just thought of those tonight when I was eating bbq chicken.

  9. word from the stan from my buddy in the 3rd SF:

     

    AFG is just as I remember it. Hot and dry here with a bit of dust.

    Will be heading out on some missions in the near future. I'll keep

    you posted on my progress and you do the same.

     

    It's his third time over, so I hope that the terros aren't winning too much. Stay safe brother!

  10. Tatsuhiko got up and dropped down into the water. "Lets keep going. We're not going to be getting anywhere sitting here."

     

    Oh the irony! At least we're on the move!! Now keep em coming wewt wewt!

  11. HP finally got back with me about the launch manager position for their printer business. Gotta be quicker if they want Chief on the intramural counter strike team. But I was hoping that I would move out there without anyone making me wonder if I made the best decision lol! :bang:

  12. I am flying out Monday morning to go and meet everyone and look for housing. Thanks for everyone's support. It took less than one week to go from 1st call to getting the job, and I'm sure that everyone had a big part to play in making it happen.

     

    Spooky fact:

     

    It was almost exactly 7 days from my first post to the time that the HR lady called with the offer. 7 days and a few hours until I negotiated the final package. :halo:

  13. I that the same as Krispy Kreme? We have Krispy Kreme up here and I think it's on old east coast brand, so prolly but those are GREAT! Mmmm DOHnuts!

  14. Hey that post down in the banned forums about you getting TKd is long enough to be another installment! My flashlight batteries are dieing, quick Dungeon Master! A new adventure!

  15. Anybody with a 401k or pension fund that invests has a pretty good chance of having oil investments...they're blue chip stocks, so most people with a job that have retirement savings have oil investments...just not quite in the same way.

     

    And I don't think the problem is so much a matter of removing Sadam as it was in not contuing to bolster the force with sufficient troop strength to provdie security from the inital looting to the ongoing border problems. It's been a game of "bop the weasel" because there weren't enough forces to plug all the wholes at once. That was shortsighted planning.

     

    IMO the biggest failure has been on the administration's ability to work with people. Clinton or Reagan would have made friends with other Arabs like the Saudis to get them to go into the county and take a leading role in helping them solve their own problems.

     

    With modern communication and travel, the oceans no longer isolate America from problems the rest of the world has had to deal with for a long long time. Terrorism is here, and we're going to have to figure out how to keep being American. A couple of years from now a new administration (rep or dem) will be a breath of fresh air and hopefully help our morale.

  16. MMMM after work I ate deer burgers and drank a couple of beers (but it was Michelob Ultra) and sweet corn and green bean casserole. I may be losing the post war, but I think I won anyway!
