As I was checking out at the moving place, I watched a girl with a 200lb or
so overage pay a startlingly high sum.  I dont know where she moved from, but
it was almost 2,000$.

Fine with me!  I'll probably bring my yellow-tan miso with me as I'm more
used to it.  Janis has the darker version and i want to taste that as the
darker ones from my experience have a large flavor variation.

Ok, completely out of sequence but go to whatever transition assistance class
Steve lines up.  Now is the time and you can go again later.  Mega info for
you specifically on medical and lots of bennies you may not have known about
that are specific to you.  Should go at the least 12 months away from
retirement (Navy says 2 years is a good time as well).  I've even got my
appointment now for a medical record review for disability.  Cant file this
early, but i can get a reasonable estimate.

Ok, back to food <g>.

We'll see how it all goes at the time!  I envision lots of meatballs and
oddiments rolling about into strange patterns.  Like me wrapping one in a
lite seaweed (fresh kelp) then making a suprise packet riceball.

Should be fun!  I plan currently to drive up straight and probably hit the
place we are staying at Thrusday evening.  So far, the command is thinking I
can cut out on time to make that.  My part of the IG is pretty much done now
with just a report to write up.  We look pretty good.  I still wont know for
sure though til that week.

ROFTL!  You've had kids.  What do you think?
(Garumph, she's definately taller than me now and getting more so.  Hey the
upside is my pants are too short on her so I got'em all back again!)

I've had several issues with bronchchitis but am not 'chronic' for it.  Havent
 had a problem now in 4 years and that one was quickly knocked out.
