A Great Afternoon.

"My" Marine is home for a while and he needed some "time" to talk about "stuff" so we went out and shot a few ground squirrels yesterday. Very therapeutic for both of us.

Although it was chilly and I'm still trying to get over whatever it is I caught on the plane ride back from FLA. we had a ball and he got his head re-wrapped.

That's a "translatable-to-civilian-life" job. There is a lot less 'head wrapping' necessary in civilian life. And a LOT more money! :) (My secret occupation is a recruiter for the armed services. :) )

Funny how we men talk isn't it? Women sit or stand close together and face each other. We either walk or sit beside one another, or are doing something with our hands.

What's in the background of the photo RJ - is that a power station?

Yes, that's where all the coal goes from the coal mine I work at.

Yes Paul, his is a pretty "stress free" job in The Corps, until you see a couple of your buddies buy the farm in a crash at Keneohe Bay. There were other things too.

Wouldn't have it any other way...

If I'm looking you in the eye, and especially if I also 'close the gap' - there are probably unpleasant things to come. Shortly.

AYEP I agree

RJ it is good to hear he can talk it out

He's my third "son". His Dad was my best friend before lung cancer took him in '07. Zach was 12 then.

Ground squirrels are very relaxing past time. Glad you had some time together.

Looks like a good time. Give me a call when you get a chance.
