Hey all Checking in again from Sunny Baghdad. Missing my weekend cruises in Bonnie (damn it was fun just taking off for Daytona or Atlanta at will). As I sit here I can't help the strange feeling of Deja Vue (sp). Knowing just 3 years ago I was here for the first time, wishing that had been my last time. But hey Life goes on right. Those of you who are military and have been here know all too well what I am talking about.
On to better news Started ordering parts for my current project. This is a bunch of fun, planning the build, starting the process of collecting the parts, etc... So that while I'm on R&R this summer I can get her bolted together and running and to the body shop for a fresh make over.
But part of the reason I came on here was to ask you guys, My friends, a small favor... Some of my fellow soldiers aren't as lucky to have people at home to send them care packages. If any of you are interested in helping out PM me and I'll pm you back mailing info. Or maybe you guys want to put together a huge box of goodies for all of us to share that would be cool too. Just PM me either way. Thanks in Advance guys, and if any of you guys are out enjoying a drink this weekend, pour one out for me.
Oh yeah and any of you guys out in Springfield, MO you might see Bonnie cruising around. My cousin is taking good care of her while I am gone.
-Kevin

Hell, we got plenty of junk food and snacks onboard I could probably hook you guys up with for a package or something. Might even get there sooner..just a bit south and in the water from you guys...if you had heard anything about two objects trying occupy the same space at the same time and failing miserably, that would be us.

So hey everyone last week marked 6 months deployed and I have to say it's going by pretty fast. I get to take leave next month and I simply can't wait. It's not as bad here this time as I remember from OIF 3. There has been a hand fun of down right shitty days. One of the guys I work with died last week. Man it's not fun knowing a guy you work with isn't there any more.
Well I'll try to log on here more often to keep you all updated on how things are going over here.
Update on My Eclipse. She runs great and drives pretty good too (my cousin is car sitting). I'll be installing a home built turbo kit while I am home on R&R as well as my Mega squirt and some 28# injectors from another project.
So I gotta get going
