Good Calm Day...everything went to plan!

Rocket Status: One tonight, but far away...didn't hear explosion.

This morning I showed up to run and the guys wanted to go to their weight room, so I figured they've come with me for every run for over a week and I'd do something they like.  It was funny, because when we got to the weight room, they showed me a treadmill and got it running for me.  I ran on it for about 15 mins and then lifted weights with them.  It was a good morning...I didn't have to drag anyone out of bed.

I met with the ANA Colonel that morning and he was pretty pleased with his success of delivering weapons to the prison.  I praised him and told him he was a master logistician and that when faced with a difficult problem, he did the right thing and most importantly, he got the job done!  He really like that.  He told me he did it to make me happy.  I told him I didn't ask him to do it for me, but to keep his chain of command from thinking he is being unhelpful...again, he liked that too.

Everything pretty much went to plan today, so it was a good day.  Also, everyone seemed pretty happy even though it was 106F/41C today.

Here's a pic of a jingle truck for you jingle truck lovers...I'm one too.  He's carrying sundry items.

Now this guy is standing on the bumper and hanging on to the tailgate as this truck shoots down the road.  I'm always amazed by their lack of safety.

Now the 1960's pictures of Afghanistan...

There is a fortress on the hill in the background.

I don't think the Land Rover has changed too much over the years.

I'm guessing, but I'd say this is the famous Mosque in Mazar-e-sherif.
