Rain Dust and my eyebrow

Now if the title doesn't get you then I don't know what will. We lost our private internet here for a couple of days but we appear to be back in business.

Micca and I were getting use to chatting and talking quite often and these last couple of days I have been kinda of blahhh and I think it is because I haven't got to chat like usual. We have other ways to talk. I called one day and we both have the army instant messenger which allows me to chat with her on my work computer. Things like yahoo and aol aren't allowed on the work computers. So yesterday and today were both pretty dusty but later it started raining. Today it rained pretty hard and you would think the sand would soak it up. Well what we have her isn't the sand you think of like on a beach. It is more like a powder and when it rains it turns the powder into a muddy muddy mess. The end result is we have had some cooler nights. It has gotten into the 70s which is pretty cool for us.

Ok now for the eyebrow. Anyone that knows me very well knows I have some pretty thick eyebrows and if I don't pay attention I will end up with a monobrow. So bob and I and a couple others are sitting in the mess hall. Someone remarked I had a wild eyebrow hair pointing out like a horn. Well of course i tried to quickly smoosh it back into place but noooo it wasn't going to behave. So Bob the barber/groomer whips out his leatherman and quickly goes to the needlenose pliers. If he chose the knife I would have ran but I figured ahhh what the hell needle nose pliers can't do to much damage. So I stand very still fearful taht something bad will happen. Bob goes in for the first grab and pull and misses...... no keep in mind we are doing this in the middle of the mess hall and everyone at the table is just waiting for this to go wrong. Bob goes in for the 2nd grab much slower this time making sure he won't miss and it get a good grab and yanks. Of course it comes out root and all. So no blood spilt and nothing more than a big ole eyebrow hair to show for it. It's the little things that I find humor in and this one had us cracking up.

Tomorrow morning I'm going to shoot for a bit so I should be able to take out all of my fusturations on some water bottles and wood pallets.

Hopefully I won't have anymore internet issues

Later for now

Looks like you need a Tuesday night grooming from your wife, eh? I was LMAO when I read that. You do have some CRAZY eyebrow hairs.

I love you so much-even though you are hairy ;)
