A day late...

Sorry Isabella... I am a day or two late on your birthday... I was caught up in a really sucky place near Bayji... But I didn't forget you... And for the rest of you... just in case you forgot who I am talking about...

Santa Isabella... :)

You can't help but smile at that picture... thank you Melena for sending me the pictures of your kids... They always bring a huge smile to my face... Especially the cheezer above...hehe she knows how cute she looks... Give her a Jaramillo Hug for me...

Well like said before... I was caught up in Bayji for a day or two... I don't know... We try not to keep track of time over here... Supposed to be just a day trip... But the helicopter never came that night... So I got to stay the next day or so at a base that makes ours look like the Hilton... Hua Rakkasans... uh yea... These guys are all bizzznasss and no play... I don't think I saw one of them smile the whole time I was there... Of course there isn't much to smile when you work next to a jacked up city like Bayji... A city that has already claimed more than it's share of American lives... So they get the Rakkasans... Bayji Bad Guys... you are screwed...

The guy not smiling is a Rakkassan...

Of course... You never go into a city like that alone... always bring protection... Llama skins... strapped for your pleasure...

grrr...

Of course it doesn't hurt to have some extra Rakkassans around...

I bet you he wasn't smiling...

And of course the reason why we were there...

Oil and Power...

Well after my little layover in that base in Bayji... I was able to have an Excellent ride in a Chinook... The twin blade helicopter that is pretty much a bus with guns... Too cool for school mos def... They fly with the back door wide open so the gunner can spit out lethal amounts of 7.62mm just in case the static gets real... It was nightime (we own the night) so I wasn't able to get a good pic... but I am sure I will be riding the green monster again...

Eat Some...!

cake... Happy Birthday my lil' Chilita!
