STOOPID VIRUSES!!!!

Last night I got a virus on my machine! CRAP!! It kept telling me to buy this Windows Security Software and wouldn't let me go to any other web site except that one. I couldn't even do a system restore!! WTF!!!????!!!

I just got through reformatting the hard drive and now I got to put all my stuff back on. GRRRR!!

Winter Wonderland

In the last 45 days it has snowed and snowed in Wichita Falls so much, you'd think we were in Colorado. The good news is we keep getting off work early and going in late, but it makes people drive stupid....I don't do stupid...

Final update and promise

Ok, right now we are doing fine. I promise I will keep this blog updated as long as I can. Who knows...maybe because of Obama we'll all be in socialist work camps by the end of the summer making tractors for glorious leader!

Some more updates.

Christmas was special, it was the first white Christmas for us since we were in Germany. We had over 3 feet of snow and the city shut down. Wichita Falls refers to it as the "Blizzard of 09."

Catchy phrase isn't it?

The dogs loved it!

More Catching Up

In November, the parents came up from San Antonio and we drove to Ft. Sill, Oklahoma to see where we lived when I was a wee lad.

I know, I know...

It's been a real long time since I've posted and I know you all are probably wondering what the hell has been going on.


Well...I'll try and catch everybody up since I posted last August. I restrained myself from posting anything about the Cowboys, and they ended up winning the NFC East and their first play off game since 1996. They sucked against the Vikings, but then I guess the first round bye does help.


In October, the Frau became an American citizen so now she can't be deported! WOO HOO!! We drove into Dallas he night before and got up real early to get to her appointment which took all of 20 minutes. Then they told her to come back at 2:00pm to swear in. So while we waited we drove down to Arlington and check out the new Cowboys Stadium.

A Tough, Yet Happy Day.

Yesterday Alex and I dropped Jessica off at the University of North Texas, Honor's College. She has a real nice room and a nice roommate. I believe she will do great and wonderful things

She has her own room, but she shares a common area with her roommate Stephanie. We got her unpacked and took care of the important things such as hooking up the TV, making sure there was an internet connection, and the Ramen Noodles were easily accessible.

The hard part of all this realizing our little girl is all grown up and moving on into the big, bright,and sometimes scary world. But like I said before, she will be fine. We are only two hours away and the phones are always by our sides. We wish her well, and will always love her.

Sheppard Profile

Ok...Here's the deal. In Wichita Falls, on of the local news channels comes out to the base and video tapes a selected area that they deem newsworthy and then edits it into a little piece for the news and they call it Sheppard Profile. This time they decided to do my video department, not the greatest job, but it'll do. They certainly didn't put in all of the good quotes we said. they just made it a little comical. Enjoy!

Moby dick on Fire Island

We got bored at work one Friday afternoon. After all...the Air Force only works half a day on Fridays!!

You Gotta Love Wal-Mart

Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a thing or two and as I was walking in a guy ran out with a camera in one hand and a lady's purse in the other hand and the Wal-Mart security team close behind. They tackled this guy in the parking lot, and when they let him up he started swinging and connecting a few punches, then the police arrived and ordered him to lie down on the ground, but he wouldn't (Dumb Ass!). So the cop pulled out, what I thought was a pistol but turned out to be a taser pistol, and lit that guy up like the 4th of July!! His arms were flung out to his side and his eyes got real wide and he pissed his pants. What a show!! The only regret was that I didn't have a video camera.

That made my day.
