Top Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Well folks... I am back in the States.. ;D ;D ;D ;D I got to drive the new truck.. AMAZING to get to drive it doesn't cut it.. to get to drive it and not worry about being blown up is priceless... Wife and kids met me at the airport for a VERY emotional reunion. I am tearing up just thinking about it... *sigh* Had a guy buy my first cup of Starbucks and I of course immediately paid it forward to a young buck sergeant in line behind me... Then off to Texas Roadhouse.. I had a med rare steak!! YUM!!!!!! and then to BASS PRO SHOPS!!!! I got a new net for my boat... a GPS for the vehicle and a new hat and shirt since most everything I own now is too small to wear.... I got home and gave the wife and kids the gifts I hand carried home with me, and saw my bass for the first time... yeah I know.. sorry guys but it was legal and its the only Bass I have harvested in over 10 years.. so I think I get an alibi for it... anyways.. that Bass is SWEET!!! I opened all my fishing boxes I have been sending myself over the past month.. got my new drift anchors, line, battery charger... I am going to be on the lake VERY soon... anyways.. just wanted everyone that cares to know that I am home and everything is fine... my internal clock is still off a bit... I woke up at 0300 this morning ready to go.. so I got up and put a tonneau cover on my truck AL Quote
