Ahh the sweet smell of success!
It is finally go home day here in muggy Malabo. I was actually awake this morning at 3am, just lying there in bed anticipating the homecoming when the rain started pounding on the side of my wall. It is always like that. Comes out of nowhere. When I went to bed last nite, the moon was up and totally full, like a huge, backlit yellow-soft globe, ( Read more... ) -

Another tiring day. Spent the day in the trenches, literally. I am leaving Tuesday, so I wanted to get the cadwelding done this weekend. It rains here almost every day and it takes two days for the trenches to dry out enough so that I am not ankle deep in mud. Speaking of trenches, it is interesting to dig here.

ON the downhill slide now. A little over 5 more days and departure day! I get to climb on board the sheetmetal buzzard and flap my way out of hot,humid and mosquito ridden Malabo.

More Monkey Girls
We are being visited by a bunch of nubile coeds from Arcadia Univeristy. Apparently it is a school in suburban Philidelphia. I do know that there are a bunch of college girls running around. The company setup a large tent covering out back in the field behind the quarters and there are a number of camping tents all over. They camp when they go ( Read more... ) -
Bit Torrent and Harmattan
I am currently listening to 'Little Red Riding Hood' by Sam the Sham and the Pharoes. I downloaded a 100 song collection 'Forgotten Hits from the 60s' from Bit Torrent. Bit Torrent is my friend. I wanted to see the movie 'A Christmas Story' before Xmas. I always manage to see the movie at least once during the holidays.Usually it is not a ( Read more... )
