Thanksgiving Weekend

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  I worked for about 8 hours, ate the traditional Thanksgiving meal for lunch at the DFAC and grilled steaks, chicken, burgers and hot dogs for the office in the evening.  Overall it was a pretty good day.  I also got a hum-vee so I had to take it out for the initial spin.

Friday was back to business as usual, even the local insurgents obliged by lobbing in a round or two to wish us a Happy Thanksgiving Weekend. 

Thanksgiving was great and all, but the highlight of the weekend was Auburn taking down Alabama in the Iron Bowl!!!!!!  I even convinced LTC Staggs to let me fly my Auburn flag on the compound flagpole to celebrate.  No, the area office engineer didn’t appreciate (Bama Fan), I don’t really understand why though.  When the wind came up and had those beautiful Tiger Eyes flapping in the breeze, not even the local Auburn fans couldn’t help themselves.  They had to come by and look for the person who was flying the Auburn flag.  It was definitely a treat talking some Auburn football with other Auburn fans.  Of course, I had to explain to the office the origin of “War Eagle” and other Auburn traditions.  Alas, I could go on forever about my love of Auburn, but I’m sure none of you will want to hear it.  Especially the Gamecock fans that have the unfortunate privilege of facing the Tigers next weekend.  WAR EAGLE!!
