Blog update

OK, a couple of folks have commented that I haven't updated the blog lately so here goes (and I guess that proves people are reading it).  I have done a couple of loads of laundry now and my take away is it works but I need to get a spin dryer instead of ringing by hand.  I bought a rack to hang the clothes on to let them dry so that helps.  Cooking has been going well.  It is amazing how many things you can cook in a cast iron skillet.  I have done a couple of steaks and a couple of chicken breasts.  I have done bacon/eggs and corned beef hash on the grill a couple of times.

During the week I have been leaving for class at 0630 and getting back about 1730 so cooking dinner and clean up leave me with a couple of hours to watch TV, read or go for a mountain bike ride.  On the weekends I have considerably more free time.  I usually get in a good 30 to 60 minute run and I try to mountain bike for awhile.  Today I think I am going to go get some sushi for dinner.

I have brought a couple of movies from home but since I have already seen them they are only kind of interesting.  I think I will have to invest in a satellite system when I go to Norfolk.  I guess I can save up all the extra pays I am going to get while I am downrange and treat myself to the satellite system when I get back.
