Talking Our Sailor

Since we were last on here, Pete has gone from shore duty to sea duty and toured the Persian Gulf. His "new" ship is in for repairs/upgrades and he's re-enlisting in December.

We will be going to support this even though it will be in California. Pete, the only person in the world who can get me into that state.

We will be spending time with him this Christmas. We already know that he won't be home next Christmas.

And he's selling his Honda and ordered a new Harley.

He left his puppy with us and plans to get him back when he gets an apartment that allows pets.

Default I got the Harley!

Although I haven't ridden it due to a shoulder injury, I have personalized it already. I've added a sissy bar, luggage rack, replace covers on the engine with ones that have a Navy emblem, two light kits (white and purple) to make sure people see me at night, a US flag sticker on the taillight, a tool bag on the handlebars, and the windshield should be here in a couple days. I also got a new helmet that matches the bike!

I plan on blowing a lot more money on silly things like saddlebags and bag to strap on behind me when I take it North to Washington for my birthday next summer. I've been working on a plan to turn that into a fund-raiser for the troops less fortunate than me as to be on the ground in the sand box. I know there are things that we have access to every day that they miss dearly like beef jerky, soft TP, AM PM's burgers. I'd just like to do what I can. I've never seen Iraq. I've only floated off the coast. But, I have friends who have been there, died there or are still there.
