Woke up this morning (that's always good), and fairly healthy. Managed to get through a LOFT recently, so still have my job. Currently listening to my boy chatting away upstairs and slamming down my fair share of alcohol after some pizza. Looking forward to a Superbowl party tomorrow. Yep, pretty content. Wonder when the other shoe will drop??

Man sorry to hear about your girl ending it on Facebook - why do people do that? Just can't break up face-to-face?? Glad to see you have a great attitude!

Got to the fishing pier around 1pm yesterday. It was 64 degrees in SW FL and everyone was bundled up like it was Halifax in winter! Anyway, threw on a sweatshirt and headed out to continue my furlough goal of catching one of every fish in the Gulf of Mexico. It was a little windy (20 knots) and the water was cloudy so I figured it would be a not so good day. Around 4pm the wind stopped, the water cleared, and the fish... they started biting! I caught some mangrove snappers, pinfish, and to add to my list of fish, a puffer and a sheepshead! Two more down on the list of fish to catch! Yayyyyyyy, ME!

Some guys down the dock caught some huge Black Drum! When they left, I tried their spot, but no luck. But hey, I have all the time in the world to try again! (See, optimism!)

I found out my UI lasts for 12 months! Whew!

Got hired full time AGR with my Guard Squadron. Just got off of DNIF (means you can't fly due to a medical issue) and will fly next week for the first time in about 2 months. I can't wait to get back in the air. I took it for granted I think. Never again.

Things WILL get better. Good times will return. This economy will turn around. Hang in there everyone.

Went and watched the monkeys at the zoo with my girl then ordered some wings and watched the Superbowl yesterday. Even though Warner played the very end of the first half like a retarded 8th grader they almost pulled it out. :D Woke up today with no hangover and my girl cooking breakfast so today is starting off good so far.

Had a blast yesterday. Great game!. Rooting for no one in particular, just for good plays. My liver is ****ed off right now, but it'll get over it. Had some fantastic food, and today doing nothing but reading the paper, posting, and eating leftovers......Oooooooh, the couch is looking sooo good right now!.

Sounds nice. Sheepshead...that's good eatin'. Ugly but tasty.

My new road bike comes in this morning.
I'm down to 240 from 310 lbs since September. (Went from having a gut overhang to slight love handles.... don't ask about the stretch marks)
I'm making good headway toward a CFI job out here finally.
I have a coffee date with an awesome woman this afternoon.
I didn't watch the superbowl for the first time in my life.
I finally perfected "Castles made of sand" on the guitar, with vocals.
My tax return paid my medical bills and credit card bills.
Its going to be 75 degrees and clear today.


All in all being furloughed doesn't suck right now.

I got to laugh at a 911 abuser that reminds me of the t-rex from "Meet the Robinsons" (she has a large head and really short arms) :D
