There's a lot of sand around here. And Pugeot cars. But mainly sand.
Turns out in the middle of (censored) Air Base, someone made a ... WIFI HOTSPOT@##@!!!!!!
My laptop is covered in sand and my lithium battery needs to be replaced due to age and always having this thing plugged in, but I'm glad to be online.
Good news: They rent mountain bikes here at the base.
Bad news: We can't ride bikes off base due to people wanting to kill us.
Just thought I'd drop in and let everyone know that things are going well for me. Well, not well. They suck. But I am in good health, and will have (hopefully) a bit of money for a nice shiny mountain velocipede when I get back.
As much as I'd like to tell you about where I am, and how cool or lame or hot or sandy it is, I can't due to OPSEC restrictions and such. Which is kind of dumb, but it makes sense. Loose lips sink battleships. Or jets, in my case. To those wondering what I do, I am an aircraft mechanic, specifically, Electrical and Pneumatic systems specialist on the KC-10A tanker. In english: I fix jets on the flightline.
To anyone that wants it; send me a PM for my mailing address. Mountain bike mags would rock. You can't find them out here in the desert, haha.
I'll try to post a few pics if I get the chance!
EDIT: I am back home now. Thanks for the support everyone!
