Some guy from El Paso just pulled out of my driveway with MY tablesaw and miter saw in the back of his pickup truck. For giggles I gave him my maul as well. I'm sad.
I used those things. Me and the maul spent more time together these past couple of years than me and my parents. I redid all the molding in the house with that miter saw. I thanked the Lord dozens of times as I cut a big piece of wood with that table saw.
And now they are gone. Kinda hit me that my life is different now. I do hope someday I will need them again....(daydream about retiring on a small farm...)
I spent this week driving around post (Fort Hood) having people initial a piece of paper called my inprocessing sheet. That enabled me to be an official Ft Hood soldier. Now that that is done, I have to do the same thing for the 2nd Chemical Batallion. This inprocessing helps me get all my documents in order as well as introduces me to some valuable army programs.
This week I met my chaplains assistant, my brigade chaplain, my "XO"--executive officer, and my "CO"--commanding officer. All seem cool and happy to see/meet me. This battalion has been without a chaplain for a while. I've also met a number of the soldiers. I have this week off and will start bright and early a week from Monday at PT.
Speaking of PT, I need to pick it up a bit. I've been slacking.
Our house is slowly coming along. We need to get rid of a ton of stuff (hence the table saw departure). Still living in an ocean of boxes which can be quite stressful. I did just hook up the wireless internet a few minutes ago--enabling me to sit outside here and watch the kids torment this humungous anthill outside my house.
Oh well, I'll try to take some pictures this week and in the future to give you an idea of what things look like here.
grace & blessings....
