Well folks I am heading to Alaska for a week of salmon fishing. I will try to post daily about my adventures and post some pictures!!

My wife and I bought a house last year, and have become pretty good friends with our neighbors. They have a cousin that came to live with them because he joined the national guard and was sent to Cheyenne for training to go over seas next year. His deployment got moved up to this September.

He will be heading to Afghanistan. We have only known him for about 6 months but he has become a good friend, He is a Medic on a Black Hawk, and will be flying many missions.

There have been 5 Blackhawk crashes, 11 Us Helicopter crashes ( total) and 33 colilition helicopter crashes (total) resulting in 116 deaths in Afghanistan since 2001.

We hope our friend will be safe and wish him and his fellow troops well.

Title: Iron Man
rating:

I wish Robert Downey Jr. would do more films. this guy is such a great actor. Well iron man has been out for a while now, we just saw it this weekend at the $1.00 Theater ( 4 bucks to take the family to the movies is un beatable). The story was good the action was good, the only thing is it could of had a little more of Ironman doing stuff…. But I think that was on purpose because it keeps the door open for a second film. Which would be great.

Lots of neat gadgets, to bad his cars got ruined, but i did appreciate that fact theat the movie should him doing experiments as he was building the suit. Check it out, theres some violence  but I would let em y 7 or 8 year old watch it.
