21 January 2003,

             Not too much to say.  We have been let off of Formal release (for now, typically everyone screws up and gets put back on).  Formal release is when you can’t leave the building until everyone is finished for the day, usually late at night, so being off is a nice change.  It was weird to go somewhere for lunch. 

            I still haven’t had my final contact check-ride.  And to top it off, I might be getting a little sick, so I will probably go DNIF and have to sit even more.  Oh well, it’s all good in the hood.   

            The nice weather is starting to re-appear.   It might be time to buy a boat.  hhhmmmm
