Well we are back from offloading ammo so we can start a Shipyard Refit Availability. Oh the joys begin now. That means we don't eat on the ship but have to take a bus to lunch and then have to live on a barge.
Yes fun times are getting ready to start for all.
Let me have one fun night on there and I will tell you all about it.

Another weekend another Chinatown missed
Every single weekend I start out thinking I am going to Chinatown in Yokohama but I keep doing something else. I finally found the camera that I like and works for me. Now to find one for my nephew so both of them can have one when I send them mine. Oh that will be joyous.
I ran into a few guys from the ship and we ran around a bit then went to Church tonight which was fun.
I hope everyone is enjoying this so please let me know.

Meet the Wife
Hello Friends of My Husband,
I just thought I'd say hello from California and post a picture of our soon-to-be bedroom. Note that it's sporting a gorgeous new layer of drywall! Only about three months now until it's done.
I want to see pictures of Mick's new bike, don't you?
Take care, Sweetheart, and don't ride the new bike without proper safety gear!
Love,
Me

What a day
I started off my day by doing laundry and calling everyone that I love. Well of course everyone that I love knew I was doing laundry because that is all I ever do and if you only had 6 days worth of regular clothes you would too. So little much storage room and I have to keep uniforms also.
When I was taking care of an errand this morning I ran into a old shipmate that I saw the other day but wasn't sure. Well actually I ran into on of them yesterday too but that is yesterdays news. So we chatted a bit and he is doing well.
So I met up with a guy who knows the old man who relieved me in Camp Pendleton and we went out for Sushi. Then up the stairs to buy my new Japanese bike so I can look silly since I am 6'1" and that is a giant in Japanese standards. The bike was relativity inexpensive that makes it better.
I go to the exchange to check out the bike speed and how fast I can get their instead of walking. When I get into the exchange who do I see but another old shipmate, this place must be crawling with old Bridge buddies. So we talk and caught up with everyone, nothing to exciting except that one of the guys who used to work for me died of a drug overdose. I hate to say this but I am not surprised, very smart guy but not too bright.
Then off to the Bowling Alley I go, just to check it out. Well it is Saturday night so I get there for the start of Cosmic Bowling and who do I run into? Another Bridge Buddy, who I thought I saw the other day. How many more can there be? Who knows but I will let you know when I find them.

Best Career Move
The ship is having a picnic and this is after a fun morning PT run, cleaning stations then Main Space Fire drill with like a good part of the crew gone.
During the picnic they were having a fund raising contest for the ship's MWR and Family Readiness Group, so I thought I would help out. The fund raiser just happen to be pie in the face contest. Who ever got the most money raised against them got and the person so spent the most would throw it. Well I put my money on the XO, I made sure that he was listening when I put my $120.00 down on him. Well of course I won, since I had a pocket full of money.
I just didn't take aim at the XO, I had to shake his hand and get a picture with him before I plowed the pie in his face. (pictures to come once I get them from somebody who was taking pictures) I can tell you the XO loves me know, which is the person I deal with everyday. FYI, I actually like the XO and respect him a lot currently he is on my top three lists of XO's. So I hope he is not too upset with me.

Night time stroll
Well I was walking around trying to get my laptop to finally work on this free wireless Internet but it still won't. So I decided to get some money then convert it over to you Yen since it is cheaper then pulling out as Yen from the Community Bank ran by B of A.
The money exchange is right next to the main gate and I actually had to go out then back into the building since it was party night. After I got the money exchanged I decided I was hungry and wanted some gyudon usually mostly found at Yoshinoya, which is open 24 hours a day. http://www.yoshinoya.com/en/index.html
On my way to get the gyudon which is on the road to the Yokosuka Chuo train station better known as Blu Street, I was approached by some women. Well they started talking to me and I could barely understand what they were saying because I just kept on walking. It wasn't till the second one approached and started talking to me that I realized she was saying 20,000 yen. That is when I realized she was giving me prices.
Well I got my gyudon then went back to the ship to finally enjoy a nice night of sleep.
