so Whats up?

[CmmdrDan]

Well? Whats everyone up too? Probably sleeping..Tomorrow is suppose to be my last day at my **** job..but Im not going in. Start my new job thursday. I took a 2 dollar pay cut just to get away from my current employer. I worked for him for 8 years and he said to me that I have never done anything for him before so I said cya.

Well I am bored and wanted to see what people have going on.:cool:

[hoaxci5]

Meh another boring day..

Finishing up a website in the next couple of days hopefully so we can move on the next project. Slowly planning my vacation to Alaska for when my wife gets back from deployment. We're still waiting for final leave approval from her Commanding Officer so we can start "really" planning since my mom is going to fly out to watch the kids while we take the trip.

[CmmdrDan]

I hope she gets back soon. Hopefully recent events wont hold her up. I bet she cant wait to hold the kids!

[hoaxci5]

Should be end of June. Trip is planned for end of August, so that should give us some buffer. Recent events I don't really think have any effect on her return date, but what do I know...

[Sal-XK]

@hoaxci5 hey bro, The army has a mandatory cool down period after deployments now. I would imagine it extends to all the units not just us shooters. I think the minimum is 60 days and a bunch of stupid tree hugger crap that has to be done. Not sure what your wife does but we usually knew about 30 days before redeployment when our leave days were. Where is your wife deployed to?

[superacerc]

I just recently returned from a trip I took on the Maersk Sealand Mercury a 903 foot container vessel. I was on there just as a learning experiance since I'm a marine inspector and always regulating these types of ships. Got on in Houston and stayed on it 35 days till it returned to houston. In the 35 days we went from Houston to Miami, Norfolk, Rotterdam Holland, Felixstowe UK, Bremmerhaven Germany, Newark, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile and back to Houston. Had a pretty interesting time and got to see quite a few places I haven't been. It took 7 days to cross the atlantic the first time and we slowed down for schedule sake on the way back and took 10 days. Saw alot of water.

This weekend I'm going camping with the boyscouts as a leader. We're going to be building catapults and competing for accuracy and distance. Hopefully i can find a challenge for the XK while i'm out.

That's whats going on Chez moi.

[NeilSmith]

My life is pretty boring . LOL !! I'm painting the front end of a Porsche Cayenne right now. Thats as exciting as it gets on a daily basis around here. Ha Ha !

[LWM]

Put in a 17.5 hour day yesterday and I have 4 big meetings today! Ugh.

She's a Navy doctor currently at Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan. She is with the Seabees (construction) so they are on a pretty fixed deployment schedule. Once she's back from this deployment she isn't supposed to go anywhere out of country at least until March when they deploy to Spain which is their staging area for humanitarian missions in Africa I guess..

[Sal-XK]

Oh ok thats in the Helmand province somewhere. I assaulted that entire area a few years back only the Brits had a base there back then. Things change fast I guess. I like doctors and medics and pilots a lot :). Anyway man I wish her god speed and enjoy the reunion when she gets home.

[hoaxci5]

Stupid data entry for a shopping cart.. so over it and I'm only 1/3 of the way done..

[IamJEEP]

Listening to people complain all day about temperature, I'm over it......need a new career. Time to look into schooling, but what to study????

[cico7]

Welder. Be a welder. People always need welders. Or a barber. I have not heard of an unemployed barber.

I am trying to collect an audit premium and write insurance for a fleet of rental dwellings That is exciting.

[IamJEEP]

I was/am contemplating being a welder, but I'm thinking about something in management. I'm a hands-on person tho, so I just can't decide. Maybe computer design? IDK.....

[cico7]

Wait, no. You can't design computers as welding supervisor.

[IamJEEP]

Wait, no. You can't design computers as welding supervisor.

Really? Crap, back to the drawing board.

[Sal-XK]

So, good night my XK brotherin.

[LWM]

Going to Tuscon to move my son into a house closer to campus.

[Matt]

Took my son to the circus today... was a blast.

I'm beyond tired (havent slept too well due to alergies lately)... just downed two gin&tonics.... and am in dire need of a nap.

[superacerc]

Going to grill some hotdogs and take the kids to the pool.

[cico7]

just finished kbobs and corn on d'cob. Put a new regulator on the grill. It gets hotter now.

[superacerc]

Sounds like a Tim the Tool Man Taylor move. Can your grill now be seen from space by any chance?

[cico7]

[CmmdrDan]

Any one play xbox? Am I youngest on here?

[Matt]

I'm 27, but don't play xbox.

I do think we have an "elder" userbase here though :p

[CmmdrDan]

Ill be 22 in july.

[Matt]

damn... you win. Still sleeping in that race car bed?

[CmmdrDan]

would it be awesome if I posted a pic of my racecar bed?

[Matt]

lmao i half expected it.

i just picked one up for my son! we're going to try to get him out of the crib in about 2 weeks. We're on a 2 month deadline now.... so the sooner, the better.

[CmmdrDan]

I personally cant wait to have a son. I feel like if I have a daughter first..I may murder myself. Hahaha. My daughter will hate me for being over protective.

[Matt]

Im not gonna lie... im very happy i had a son first (daughter is on the way). So now she'll also have an older brother to be over protective as well!

BUT, from everyone i've ever talked to who "wanted" a son and had a daughter... they said their perspective completely changed afterwards and they wouldn't go back and change it for anything.

[CmmdrDan]

I believe that to be true. But I would still go to prison for murdering pre-pubescent boys.

[Matt]

yeah.... hahaha im trying not to think about that right now. I'm hoping there's a point in a "dad's" life where his brain goes into safe mode and he COMPLETELY forgets what its like being a teenage boy so that he can literally be naive to the intentions of his 16 year old daughters boyfriend.

[CmmdrDan]

Haha when mine hits 16 she isnt allowed to leave the house!

[IamJEEP]

Whats xbox?

[CmmdrDan]

You have got to be ****ting me..

[cico7]

I got my son a race car bed when he started climbinbg out of his crib.
It offered sides so he didnt fall out and low enough he could get
out without falling.

[Matt]

Whats xbox?

It's where he keeps his porn.

[Matt]

Ooh i'll have to look up to see if there's sides i can order. He doesn't try climbing out of his crib... but he is a super active sleeper who flips/rolls all over the place.

[IamJEEP]

You have got to be ****ting me..

What? Oh I know, iys one of those box like games where you try to match up all the colors on each side, right?

[IamJEEP]

It's where he keeps his porn.

I thought that was called a fun box, lol...

[CmmdrDan]

yes tis a fun box.

[superacerc]

No Xbox here. Thought about getting one. I have a pretty decent PC that I use for Call of Duty Games. That's pretty much the only thing i like playing. Loving Black Ops.

[hoaxci5]

Sorting/Editing Jeep Jamboree pics.. look for a post soon :)

[Sal-XK]

[hoaxci5]

[Sal-XK]

Cant see the link bro on any of the walls or profiles including yours. Pill is kicking in I'll have to see tomorrow I guess. :(

[NeilSmith]

I'll be 41 on thursday and I have an XBOX, play the COD games and GTA multiplayer. GTA is good for some laughs every now and then. My daughter , who is almost 7 , has the DS, DSI, WII, and PC for her games. Shes not allowed on the XBOX. LOL !

[cico7]

Well, you have to keep the kiddies entertained so the adults can work.
..................................Just kidding
I had PONG, Bally, and a Commadore 64 for entertainment systems.

I played DOOM, I dont recall where I got it. I had to stop playing when I
got bifocals.

I do own a PS2, I dont know if I have any games for it, but it plugs into the Commander.

We have a Wii, played tennis, bowling, and some other things. I have never
been a big fan of video games.

I will be 52 soon. 8-(

[cico7]

I believe in possibility and our collective responsibility to ensure that we reach out to others

[CmmdrDan]

Neil I play on my girls account. Gnarlychick. Ohhand down to 283. 3 more punds and ill be my lightest since high school...which was 4 or 5 years ago..

[pjmjr508]

You guys are crazy, I was laughing so hard reading thru this thread. Well I do have an xbox360 but do not use it much, not enough time. I just turned 40 this past Jan & my Son just turned 2 and he is still sleeping with us, we could never get him to sleep in the crib, he has his own room & own bed but will not sleep in it yet, boy I wish he would sometimes. I as well wanted a son first for the same reasons I have heard on here so far. I know if I have a daughter I will love her to death but I do not think I can keep myself from the first boy that hurts her, so sons for me.

Other than all that,
The XK is in the shop to get the body seams & parts of the wheel well trimmed to make up for the larger tires to prevent contact. Along some other odds & ends before wheelin next weekend.

[LWM]

Just got home from a day on the range, love it when you get paid too shoot stuff.

[NeilSmith]

Son just turned 2 and he is still sleeping with us

Id get use to that if I was you. LOL My girl is almost 7 and she still finds her way into our bed at some point during the night.

[Sal-XK]

Getting your kid out of your bed is pretty simple. Unfortunately it's hard to follow threw to the end. Just put him in his crib and let him cry and that's not easy to do. He crawls out you put him back until he gives up and goes to sleep which he will eventually. Ever night after the first gets easier then the last and about three nights of that and your good. The occasional sneak into your room no big deal but be vigilant. With my daughter I had to keep my wife from getting her and I almost gave in myself at few moments threw the process. It works though but sometimes the parents aren't ready for the separation. Then my wife let my son start the sleeping in the bed as well but he was nothing compared to my daughter who screamed for hours.

[superacerc]

^x2. It's tough but it works. My 3 year old has one of those kid proof door handles (plastic fat doorknob that you squeeze) on the inside of her door so she can't open it and come into our room. We could probably take it off now cause she doesn't even try to leave her bed. As for the 1 year old we just let her cry it out and she goes back to sleep. We only get them if it won't stop and sounds like somethings really not normal.

Sure is nice to sleep normal.

[Sal-XK]

Ya wife was shocked when my daughter finally stoped crying. Boy that kid would howl like she saw the devil. But it all worked out in the end. Friends of mine both slept in separate and had a kid with them. They still did that when the kids were like ten years old so I had a phobia when I finally had kids and learned from there mistakes.

[pjmjr508]

Thanks guys.
Part of the issue I think is she still breast feeds him, he has never used a bottle. He does drink from reg cups and all that. Also I feel part of the issue is that my GF is not ready for him to sleep in his own bed yet. So working on that as well.

[CmmdrDan]

Well I am offically down 20 lbs! I am at 280! God it feels good..but man I am still hungry..

[superacerc]

Congrats. I know the feeling.

[LWM]

Congrats, I too am down 20 lbs since the first of the year.

[pjmjr508]

Congrats Sir

Awesome. My dad is a Baltimore City officer...Lets just say he is in the **** hole of that **** hole..If ya catch ma drift.

I have had the opportunity to travel all over the country in the performance of my duties and I have met some really unique people along the way.

[CmmdrDan]

I wish I could say the same for him. He loves the job but the city has really slacked on their hiring procedures..It makes it tough for him to feel like he has the proper backup. A couple years ago they went to Puerto Rico and hired a whole class. That wasn't the smartest thing for them to. He only has 5 more years though and then its retirement.

[superacerc]

Went to the houston military ball yesterday. Too much speeches and not enough dancing made it drag out.
