Very tough week, don't get me wrong here things could be much worse and it is not a physical tired, but have you ever just been so totally worn out from just thinking about a project, sitting in meetings and typing, doing power-point and such you just can't seem to function quite right?? I am sure anyone reading this that has been a staff officer knows this feeling, some of you who will eventually become a staff officer, just be ready, it will happen to you. I almost wish I could say I was burnt out from building a house or running a marathon, but wow, 10 hours a day of power-point slides and meetings can just trash your day.

I have been at work on average 10 hours a day the past 17 days (not including the commute), but honestly, in the grand scheme of it all, not so bad. I am still get to go home at night, kiss my wife, and see my kids and that if far better than what a great many men and women get to do tonight. For those of you deployed, thanks, I have been there and I will probably go back, but thank you for being there this go round so I could get some time with my new family.

ALERT!!!! JEEP UPDATE!!!!!!!
Got the front axle reinstalled!! Cut a turned for proper drive shaft alignment, sweet deal there!

Roll cage seat mounts are started. (so if I roll it, I will stay put in the seat).

Grill hoop is installed ( so if I roll it, maybe I won't crush the engine).

Tied the roll cafe through the firewall to the main cage (so if I roll it, it won't twist the Jeep in half).

Anyone see a pattern yet??

A new ignition system (so I can go try to roll it!!).

New 5150 piggy-back shocks (ON SALE!!!! , so if I roll it, I am not out too much cash)
 

About 2-3 more weeks and it will go in for a quick paint job, get a wrap and off to competition, unfortunately most of this years season will be over by then.

Go back to my 02 July or 27 June 2008 or 6 Jan 09 posts and you can see what the graphics will look like, anyone have any suggestions on that? Any cool ideas out there to help me represent the Army??

Thank you all for reading.
