Killing time: not really AF related

Waiting around for things to speed up is pretty easy for me, I’ve been catching up on movies and burning CDs thanks to the base library: all 10 Band of Brothers, 6 Star Wars, 3 Bourne’s, 2 Ninja Turtles, the classic series. We’ve also been working out/running a lot. There is a 4 mile route that runs parallel with the flight line, its awesome in the morning when its still hot (not yet miserably hot) and you see a dozen or more aircraft at once: some taxing, holding short, landing, taking off, in the pattern, its amazing, you almost forget you’re running in ridiculously humid Mississippi. I also enjoy bike riding around the perimeter of the base, it weaves in and out of the woods along the far side of the flight line. Head out about sunset, put some good tunes on the ipod, I feel like I’m in a movie. I figure that will be my get away over the next year, that and going shooting, we’ve been doing a lot of that too, with a little fishing thrown in here n there. I’m pretty much free to roam, just have to sign in during the day.
