LIfe is good.

I finally finished most of the projects here at Bagram and I am ready to get down range and start construction on some new projects. The only project left here is to build a rack for the server computers to sit on so they not taking up as much space in the office. I was just informed that I am going to be going down range to start construction on 4 buildings. Two of the buildings for living space and the other two for office space.

Today's project was to build a loft storage over the S-6 (COMMO) shop. The old Russian buildings have 12-14 foot ceilings and so they wanted to be able to store the boxes and cases of things out of the way. Well what better way than to be able to put it up over your head. So I built a loft 7 feet off the ground and that left 6 foot 5 inches of space on the lower level. And 5 foot of storage on the top level. I was told that it would probably take me 6 days. When I said one and a half to two days is all I needed, they laughed. I guess I too was misestimating, it took me less than one day. I also, since I had time, reset a door that was not plumb and thus rubbed the tile floor after it was opened half way.

It is amazing how fast things get done when I am not micro managed and supervised into submission. It looks like the talk with the Colonel paid off. I have noticed that things are going much smoother now that I am left to do things at my pace as long as I meet the dead lines given.

I am looking forward to constructing these buildings that need to be built. It is a good way to pass the time and leave something for the next unit once they get here to replace us. I am also looking forward to going home for a few weeks in September. It is the end of racing season and it would be great if I could get a few races in before the season ends. I want to drive my MX-5 and see if I still have what it takes to kick some butt on the track. My friend Adam has the car and he has placed 1st in every race he entered with my car. I can only hope to do as well once I get to race my car again.
