The Great Flood of 2009 Begins

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later, rain. I think I did a good job of getting my crew ready for the rain as I had got them to stack pallets in front of there doors and had them grab a bunch of news paper so they could line there entry ways with paper instead of mud. So was all the perpetration worth it... I'll let you decide for yourself.

Here you can see the prep work that we did

As you can see we needed more wood

Here are the kids making a path for us, notice Mike holding on as he does not want his boys to float away...

Ahh at last we don't have to swim back from the showers =) and yes those are cinder blocks that are sinking...

The good news is that Iraq has stopped sinking as of this morning, but the bad news is that the weather guys told us not even to expect any real rain till today and tomorrow, so we will see what happens.

Also on a good note our row was not the best but by far not the worst, the worst set of living quarters were in front of the Commander and all the big wigs, so rumor has it they called CE (Civil Engineering) to get our little drainage problem fixed!

Well I just got back from my morning run, I am trying to stop sweating before I take a shower. I should not say this too loud by WOW it is nice not to set an alarm. After I got my new mattress here I have been sleeping 9+ hours every night. I am not saying that I like being here but there are some perks to deployments.

OK time to shower, have a great day, Aloha!
