Return of the dogs - and warm weather.

We have dogs again! Some of the strays that Bob usually feeds found their way inside the walls. They have more or less set up camp out back and haven't left in over a week now! No idea how they got into the camp, but it's two good sized dogs and three puppies. Bob has been doing his part by bringing them food several times a day and encouraging them to stay in the back of camp. Out of sight, out of mind! They have never had it so good, and I doubt they will leave without a fight!

It's been several days since I have woken up to below freezing temperatures and I can't say I am disappointed. My truck is happier, I am happier it's just nice to not go outside and freeze.

A while back the ANA moved a whole bunch of guys onto the ANA side of the base from the training command. We knew at some point, we were going to have to give up the building that the S-6 is in, and that day is approaching rapidly. The last few days I have been working on a plan with them to move our phones and comm systems in a manner that will cause the least disruption. It's a foreign concept to them to plan out a move of this magnitude. They intended on taking it all down, and just putting it up whenever they could. We now have a nice written plan that can actually be followed and will hopefully allow this transition to go a little smoother. The nice thing is that we end up getting an office in the main building now, so we are a little closer to the rest of the action. As it stands, we are off in our own corner of the base, its quiet, but we are out of the loop.

We expect Steve back in the next few days, it will be fun to hear about his adventures down under - of course he will be angry, and that will be fun for Bob and me :)

Happy Birthday Kara!
