A little R&R

So far so good with operation take a load off.

Good home cooking, good weather (anything's better than 45 degrees!) and good people! But let me just back track for a second and update on what's happened since my last post just after we finished our jet training.

That night we went out to party it up a little in celebration of a job well done. Well we certainly had our fair share of alcohol. We started off at Bennigan's next to the hotel and after a few hours it was time to call it quits... however, once the hotel shuttle came by to grab us.. suddenly we deemed it a good idea to continue the boozefest and we headed over to the local hooters for more beer. It gets a little fuzzy after that.

Some highlights that do ring a bell:
-having a $60 bar tab at Bennigan's off of $2 beers
-buying drinks for random people in the bar
-yelling out of the hotel shuttle that we were going to Hooter's and having people try to join us (this was while we were stopped near a walmart while enroute to Hooters)
-poking fun at a cop who was on guard at the Hooters
-hitting on the every single waitress at Hooters, and then also finding out that one of them was 18.. that was a little sobering
-I don't recall the ride back to the hotel but I do recall falling down in the elevator
-being completely messed up the next day... worst hangover ever. Wasn't until 6pm that I could stomach food

So that was the fun in a nutshell. And for now I'm just at home, chilling out and taking in the peace and quiet. I believe there will have to be some Pokering and some other fun while I'm here. Fireworks are on, so I'm sure they'll be some flashbacks to good 'ol memory lane with some firework outings.

Well, time to head back to the relaxation. If you're in town and want to meet up, give me a shout!
