Getting Back To Semi-Normal

Well as normal as it can be here. About 2 weeks until I get home for a while and that is on the top of my mind lately.
Goint to have a BBQ this weekend at my Guest House for all my guys that did such a great job and working all the extra hours it took to do it.
Ive been able to get back to working on future projects again and that has been fun but I am so far behind not sure the days are getting any shorter yet.
Anyway just rambeling along...Will update you at another time. Not sure why I even typed this BS but it is here so it will stay....Later ....JB

Christmas Dinner in Kabul

Not the same as being home but Ill be there in a few weeks.

Merry Christmas

Making the most of Christmas in Kabul

So to make the most out of being stuck here for Christmas I started cooking.

The menu will be simple because it is hard to get stuff here:

• Turkey
• Stuffing(Stove Top)...lol
• Mashed Potatoes
• Fruit Salad
• Green Beans
• Baked a cake and put a Christmas tree on it
• Cranberrys
• Christmas pudding

Im sure there is more.
Here are some pics I took this morning of the tree and stuff

 

Merry Christmas Everyone

Grenoble France

I was in France at Digigram last month testing some new hardware and software. Here are a few pics from there.

This is a view from there office....Very nice place.

Our Christmas Tree

I had to do it.....Thank god for the plotter

Been too long...I know

The last few months have been a zoo here. Since my last blog there has bee a lot going on.

• I spent a week in Grenoble France testing new hardware and software
• Hired a new Engineer
• Fried an IT guy
• Hired 3 new ones
• Got our operation in Kabul mostly moved into the hew building
• and have gone way to many days with out power

We are almost done moving into the new office. We have a few generators to get moved around yet and then we will be able to get all the Tech/IT offices setup. Seems like our areas are always the last to get done. We have to help everyone else but no one s willing to help us.

We moved in about weeks early because the old office flooded one morning so I made the leap and said we will move today. We had the network up and running in less then 24 hours and that rocks.

I'm going to be here for Christmas but going home for a month on the 14th of January. Cant wait to get out of here for a break...I need it and so does Kim and Kyle. I miss them so much but just try to keep busy with work to keep the time passing.

It has been quiet here lately since the elections have been over. Just a few problems in other parts of the country. We are all hoping this new serge will help but only if the US allows them to do there jobs and if the local army will ever do theirs.

I'm going to have a few people over for Christmas dinner. I'm cooking up a turkey, Mashed potato's, stuffing and some other things. Not really in the holiday spirit but will do it anyway. We will have a proper holiday season when I come home in Jan.

There are few good things in the works and hope they go through.

Not sure how much since this makes but I really don't care. Just babbling on.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all....Later JB
