Information Lockdown???

I am TDY, visiting a small island nation. This is a really neat place, I will post pics upon my return. I have to visit the MWR (Internet Cafe) to get the internet and things have changed since last time I was here. You Tube is now blocked... Facebook is now blocked. I am certain there are lots more things I could use to occupy my time that are also blocked, but have given up trying. At least Blogspot is not blocked.

I brought my Gameboy DS and have just started playing Crono Cross. A great game that I have beaten before back when it was on the Nintendo... or maybe playstation. Can not remember right now, but it was one of those. I also brought some D&D stuff so that I can work on my son's campaign. I plan on having him something he can run with his friends when I get back. My son has this friend that comes over every other weekend so this will give us something else to do.

There is this commercial that is out right now about a business traveler with a little daughter. He goes on this trip and his daughter smuggles her little monkey in his brief case. I was inspired by that commercial and on this trip I plan on doing something like that for my kids.

I bought this little fuzzy "thing" from the NEX (Navy Exchange) that I plan on calling a Banana Rat. It is not really one, but my kids will still think it is neat. I will include him in some of my photos of the island. Just something special for them to make up for the time I have to be away from home.

Such a Slacker

Well my game did not go down. My son and I went out to the Hobbit to watch some people play, but we did not get to play ourselves. I am currently TDY, and will be out of the loop until much later this month. My posting may be a bit sporadic until I return home.

On a brighter note, I have 5 more nobz, 11 more boyz, and another Black Reach Warboss waiting on me when I get back home. This will bring me up to the following...

Warboss, PK, Cyborg, Eavy Armor, Attack Squig

Warboss, PK, Cyborg, Eavy Armor, Attack Squig

10 Nobz, 3 PK, 3 Big Choppa, 3 Slugga & Choppa, 1 Shoota/Scorcha (I just like it)

Battlewagon, 4 Big Shoota, Zzap Gun, Ard Case, Extra Armor, Grot Riggers, Red Paint, Stikkbomb chukka

2 Extra Big Shootas & 1 Rokkit Launcha

This is not a list per se, just a total of what I have so far. I would like to have options at the 2k level. I plan on fielding 180 boyz just for fun. That will be started right after I pick up my prepurchased Stompa from the Hobbit and paint that up. I should get home just before its release... /joy

I bought my son a box of Khore Beserkers and 2 Chaos Spawn. That will give him some more Chaos to paint up. I really need to get around to posting his pics. He is doing a really good job for someone his age. Much better than I did at his age, and I am very proud of him. He plays the Tyranids that I bought and painted for him, but he wanted to start his own, like in Fantasy so I let him pick. He will be using my ultramarines as chaos until he gets enough. They will be recent "converts."
