Well folks I'm on my way back to the land of lapis, currently sitting in the terminal at Dover AFB. As usual waiting on the Air Force to figure out if they feel like flying...

Brandon,
I'll miss ya this mining season, had a blast the last two outings. Could really use your help at the claims and I know you would like the work but they should be in great shape for you next season! And I know it's an old cliche and you've heard it a million times but.... stay safe over there and thank you again for your service. Looking forward to mining with you again. Will you be able to use a pc over there and stay in touch on the forums once in a while? -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

See you when you get here!
Swizz, there are plenty of places to get internet, so he should be able to link up, maybe even from work (not sure what his job is). He gives the Air Force shit, but I'm still in bed, using the wireless internet in my room.

If it wasn't for you guys I wouldn't be stuck in Dover trying to go more than 30 feet on a C5! (And you think I'm kidding about that, we sat for 3 hours waiting on the bird, rolled 30 feet and couldn't turn, 2 hours later they finally decided it was broken.) As luck has it you guys are so spoiled that there was plenty of Jack waiting for me at the front desk of Air Force Lodging... It really all is in good fun though, cross service ribbing is expected and in some cases absolutely necessary. -------------------- Life goes by so fast/You only wanna do what you think is right/Close your eyes and it's past/Story of my life - Mike Ness

Can haul a lot of stuff WHEN it actually takes off, but their reliability rate sucks. Hope you're not flying in that thing the whole way, because it'll break every leg. -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558

C5's were awesome in their day! That is, when they were new. Now, they are old and "Crusty"
  like most of us old prospectors - we get the job done, but it may take us a while!

I don't really expect to fly before the holiday. There's nothing to do here that doesn't require a vehicle to get to (which we don't have), but there is plenty of Yuengling beer to drink (Which we had lots of yesterday).
Chris, I'll be on a computer all day long at work so I'll keep tabs on whats going on around here. -------------------- Life goes by so fast/You only wanna do what you think is right/Close your eyes and it's past/Story of my life - Mike Ness

Made it to the land of Lapis finally, nothing ever changes over here because it's pretty much the same way I left it.

C5's may not be the most reliable or comfortable bird, but they will get you there. Stay safe, Brandon. -------------------- Caveman

It's always a good feeling to meet with people you have been swapping tales and experiences with! And who also have common interests. Looking forward to meeting up with you too, once you get back. Keep us posted when you do and I'll make some time. Take care and stay safe! Keep Brandon in line too... He's one of the good 'uns!
