Jello Dog Busts Out Some Rymes
I have alot going on right now. I'm taking a minute from packing and planning my weekend camping trip. At the moment I'm the only one going, maybe an old Ranger Buddy that lives over the Mountain. A few years back I didn't mind going by myself so much. That is if I was hunting, now it's a bit dull. I'm not entirely sure where I'm heading to either. I have to be able to give directions. Does that soud like a plan?
Hot, but Good
Yesterday I spent working for Uncle Sam. I basicaly had to go see a Range demonstration and then shoot the Range. Though it was hotter than sin(Heat Category 5, the highest there is) I had fun. And, when I'm with my fellow Reserevist's I feel like I'm in good company. One girl drove out to the Range and got stuck in the mud. We pushed her out and me and my buddy were splattered in mud. Where else can you go get splattered in mud and then shoot a Range other than the Army? OK, maybe the Marine Corps.
Duty
My trip to Ft. McClellan is "Involuntary", doesn't matter, I'm looking forward to going. Militarily things are starting to take shape. It's the begining of an exciting time.
Jello Dog
I went for a hike with Jello Boy and Jellouise Sunday( I left the Ruck at home). They take their dogs everywhere. Jello Boy has had Jello Dog for years, I've alway's liked her. But, it was hot and she was panting in my ear while in the car. I thought at any minute I would hear someone scratching on a Record and the Fat Boy's busting out some rymes.
Son Volt
I finaly bought a new CD. I havn't gotten one since December. It's Son Volt's "Okemah and the Melody of Riot". I'm a long time Son Volt fan. I remeber listening to Trace(one CD) when I was Deer Hunting in South Alabama where my Dad was doing contract work. Didn't get any Deer. It was a bad year, way too many Acorns. Jay Farrar, the band leader is apparently not a bad guy. He does do one song semi political(after all he is a big fan of Woody Guthrie. (Woody,if your gohst is reading, This Macine Kills Fascist too). It wasn't distasteful as much "artist" poitical rants are. I probaly agree with Jay on quite a few things.
Alright, getting back to getting something done.

AI, stumbled onto this website and just wondered if you might already be familiar with it.
Hey, AGT. I am familiar with his litle books. I didn't know he had a web site though, it only makes sense. He has useful little stuf in them.
Sheesh...a Fat Boys reference? Great, now I'll have that song stuck in my head all day. Despite that, I hope you have fun camping!
Thank You Marianne.
You're welcome. :-)
