Default Going BACK to Japan...

Guys and Gals,

Well it happened. Not complaining, but I was really hoping to see my Z waiting in my garage.

I am gearing up and flying back to Japan (MCAS Iwakuni) from Alaska tonight. I won't be on for some time (Tuesday). I DEFINITELY won't be making it home on my scheduled return date. My Poor Poor Z will continue to WAIT for me in the garage with all my mod parts continuing to be delivered.

Also, is there anything you guys want me to pick up from you while I am back in J land? I bought my shift knob (see my other post) there. I know AK wants that Z wallet and watch!

Rant. Out.
Brian

ps. This is just a mindless rant. I am not really upset to be going back to Japan for a short time. ...love my job!

Still, being rescheduled is a bitch.
Nice seeing your making the best of it. Just thinking of all the fun you'll have with all those parts when you get home!

The bright side to the job is you get to see the world on someone else's coin. It could always be worse.

Be safe.

They're typically giant metal multicolored rainbow monsters that look eerily like a human. They typically have physically impossible, completely fantastic weapons like a rifle that shoots beams of concentrated energy and swords that are concentrated beams of light, like a lightsaber.

Also beware the frightening percentage of people with bad teeth (orthodonists there are basically celebrities; braces cost twice as much as in the states and they're hard to come by).

I would ask you to get something for me but I have no way of wiring the money over.

Enjoy Japan, I suppose... but mostly, thanks for serving our country! Specifically, thanks for keeping us able to poot around in our Z's while you're doing midnight watch...
