the sweet smell of freedom

I have smelt freedom and it is Gain Lavendar scented clothes. When I got in to camp the first thing I did was wash my civilian clothes with nice smelling detergent and then put them away in the bottom drawer to be warn again when I left camp. Yes, I don't wear actual civy clothes when in camp but only wear either my uniform (during the day) and then change in to my PJs in the evening and don't leave my room except for bathroom runs. So this morning when I was packing up all my stuff I put on my jeans and t-shirt and got hit with the sweet smell of lavendar. So much better than the Tide stuff that they provide for us here. Mainly because the Tide stuff isn't really laundry detergent (at least I think so since it doesnt say 'laundry detergent' but says 'industrial cleaner').

The weather is looking halfway decent. It rained all day yesterday with high winds and we were told that we were on the edge of a bad weather front which meant that if the wind blow one direction is could bring in rain, high winds and bad weather which would stand us in camp. If the wind blew the other direction it would take that weather away and we would be calm and slightly chilly but still able to fly. Last week the planes were cancelled from Monday morning till Thursday. It was one packed plane having all Monday and Wednesday people on it. This week Monday flew out alright so we are hoping that today we will take off as well.

So far the Mrs and I have kept the planning of things down to a minimum. Since last time out we were basically packed with social engagements since my parents were stopping over to a friends wedding for a total of about a week (one day here, 4-5 days coming back) and then after that it was friends, engagements, weddings and all. The time out before that it was working at The Works festival (Noon till 9pm every day for 13 days straight). So this time out is totally dedicated to spending time with my wife....well, minus one 'guys night out' cause guys will be guys and an estrogen free outing is required to maintain optimal testosterone sanity. :-)

Nothing really new happening out here. The last week has just flown by quickly. So, this might be my last entry for 2 weeks since I will be out in civilization. So hope all who read this have a great two weeks ahead and will be back. Later all.....
