I’m Back!

By ORPO, on 13 November 2009

We finally got internet today. It is DSL. The cable company will not be able to hook us up until the 27th of this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We did rent the house I mentioned over at Old Retired Petty Officer. It is 1,600 square feet, three bedrooms/two baths/two car garage and no lawn front or back.All the appliances are new. The dishwasher is stainless steel on the inside. It is a notoriously hard water area. The owner bought this place as an investment property and put a lot of money and effort into it. California City is basically a bedroom community for Edwards AFB and people who work at the Honda and Kia/Hyundai proving grounds live here also. We do not have a major grocery store but the city is trying to get a Von’s or Ralph’s. As for the Missus and I, it is the Commissary Store on base. Retirement perk, ya know!

It is about a 25 minute drive to the hangar parking lot on base. I go in through the North Gate off of CA 58.

Again I do apologize to all for the absence with no update until now. But things are a “bit slow” here.

Wait — no front yard or back? What? You’re not getting out of mowing grass are you? No fair!

Have fun being back at work and getting back into a regular schedule! That’s got to be a good feeling.

I sometimes wonder how the AF gets anything done with all the paperwork and emails and such being so integral to how they do business. And I have to get a clearance. That should prove interesting.
No grass, just dirt/sand. No grass to mow, at all :-) All I have to do is keep the weeds down. I may get a load of decorator rock for the front yard. I was thinking Navy Blue and Gold!!!!!!!!!!!
And yesterday for a short time, I was in the aft engine compartment of a Fighting Falcon.
Regular routine and a healthy paycheck to go with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
