Back to the Stone Age

[molinoman]

I just arrived back in Dubai about an hour and a half ago (9 hours ahead, so it is now 3:49 pm in Molino, FL).<br />
<br />
I had a great three weeks home, gained a lot of weight...the diet starts on Thursday as well as growing back my beard for the upcoming winter when I arrive back in Kandahar.<br />
<br />
I also got to enjoy three days in London, went to the ACE Cafe...the british riders really like their safety gear...no t-shirts on these guys. <br />
<br />
I also was able to attend 2 showings of WWRY (Queen musical....We Will Rock You) at the Dominion Theater...great voices, great band and "loud" (on Saturday and Monday nite).<br />
<br />
Now I have a lot of thinking to do....will probably be taking the plunge on the Stallion early next year by putting a substantial deposit on one in March...I just hope there is a "downward" price adjustment to go with it if I wait that long. Should also be getting a new 2011 Triumph Rocket Tourer at the same time.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the riding while I am gone...I will go back to being envious of you who can, my wife did like the Stallion so that went well...now I just have to wait.<br />

Take care of yourself over there, Dennis! And while you wait, keep hangin' around here with us nuts; you won't feel so lonely that way <img src="images/smilies/grin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="big grin" class="inlineimg" />

Dennis - Glad you got some good down time. Keep the water flowing and keep it safe. Looking forward to seeing you on the road here.

Be safe Dennis. You'll be back in no time.

Thanks for the well wishes. I "suffered" thru Dubai and arrived in KAF on Thursday. I have tried to get out of KAF the last two days but the haze in southern Afghanistan has prevented most helo flights from going to and from the different FOB's/camps. I am not even trying tomorrow (Sunday) just going to take it easy and do laundry and wait and try again on Monday.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your riding season<img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" class="inlineimg" />.<br />
