Here we go!

Post by Joshua Smith »

Just got word that we need to send in the payments for our Megs- and that Mel's going down to the factory on the 7th to pick them up! She invited Calvin and I to go with her- I'm pretty sure I can get out of work that day; and I'd love to see the factory! So, the big question is: "How do I keep from loosing my mind between the 7th, when I get the unit, and Nov. 13th, when I start the training?"

Well, I made the trek down to the Meg factory yesterday, and picked up all the CCRs for my class- something like 29,000$ worth of Megs in the back of the big green van! I'll post some pics and a better report later. I'm going to try and document Calvin and I's transition to to dark side! :axe:

Dang, Josh! Now I won't be able to trail after you at Cove 2 while secretly breathing off your doubles anymore! Way to kill my fun time, dude (but you will have to ignore me while I turn that jealous Puget Sound green when I watch you with your new girlfriend, Meg....)

Sweet!

Man you guys must be getting hard to live with!

I just had to live with someone with similar jitters - My wife left last week for a month of trekking in Nepal. That last week she was so on edge I couldn't wait for her to leave! You guys are going to be unbearable by the time your class starts.

Pretty Cool Huh! Haven't gotten mine yet but saw an early copy!

Here's a Wiki link http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/e ... owfish.jpg

They are really cool looking fish and we see some that are huge. The first time I saw one, I did a Narc check cause they are so different!
