Deployment days 1-4 reminders of home.

[Roses]

So being a mom of a Sailor on the USS Enterprise that deployed 5 days ago. I send him daily emails. I just give him the daily highlights and add a few things I think he will like to read. Here are the emails I sent for days 1-4. Have not written  today's email.

 

First email for your deployment.

So today we got the tire fixed, AAA sent someone to come and change it, no worries. Duh why did we not think of that sooner.

Then we went and dumped the tanks. We found propane and filled up there too.

While waiting for the tire dude to show up, I saw a rogue baset hound taking himself out for a walk. Then saw a survey crew walk the neighborhood, ups deliver a package, mailman deliver the mail, and the owner of the baset hound find him and pick him up.

So it was a productive day, tomorrow going to go and do laundry. Well that is the plan.

Love you take care and stay safe
Mom

 

Well I hope so too. It is chilly this morning. Finally was able to sleep last night,

Love you and miss you! Take care, work smart, not harder! Be safe and learn all you can. (You know all mom advise )

Mom

 

Well day 2 of your deployment, i will keep counting until i get lost.

Here it was quiet, did not do laundry, back hurts. So played on facebook, myspace and started to read some stuff on the net.. will include something you may get a kick out of, well at least laugh like we did.

That's Illegal? 5 Weirdest Laws In America

Strange Laws Remain Long After They Are Enforced

f there aren't enough rules to keep track of, each year brings even more new laws to follow.The question is will they stand up over time or join the ranks of since-forgotten laws that look quite silly today?While you can indeed find such obsolete or down-right dumb laws in old law books, many of the funniest examples that have grown to the point of legend online simply aren't true.For instance, you may have heard that Arizona has outlawed camel hunting, that Minnesota won't let you transport a duck on your head across state lines, or that you can't lasso a fish in Tennessee. All hilarious -- and all completely untrue.But we've rounded up five of the weirdest real laws you'll ever laugh at. Just don't ask the local authorities to arrest you for breaking them or you're likely to get an even bigger laugh. Weird Law No. 5: Get That Monster A License! >>

Weird Law No. 5

Monsters Must Be Licensed -- Urbana, Illinois

This one has grown to legendary status online in various forms along the lines of "Monsters are not allowed inside the city limits of Urbana." But that's not entirely true: Monsters are allowed; they just need to be licensed.The basis for this strange city requirement can be found in an act from 1872, which states that "exhibitions of freaks of nature or monsters" staged for profit within city limits must first receive a license from the city clerk.Of course, if you were bringing a monster show to Urbana for charity, well, then no license required.In all seriousness, you have to applaud the forefathers of Urbana who had the vision to protect the east-central Illinois city from freely roaming monsters. After all, think of the all the damage Tokyo would have been spared if it had had the foresight to license Godzilla. Weird Law No. 4: Drunken Squirrels >>

Weird Law No. 4

No Tobacco, Alcohol For Park Animals -- Dyersburg, Tenn.

If you ever find yourself with time to kill in the western Tennessee town of Dybersburg, be sure to not contribute to the delinquency of a squirrel in the city's parks.That's because the city's code prohibits "giving an animal or bird tobacco, alcohol or another known noxious substance in city parks."One has to wonder at the origin of this one. What could have possibly been going on in this city of 18,000 that would inspire such a head-scratcher of a law?Maybe some people were all too willing to let crows and other wild birds bum cigarettes? Or perhaps there was a rash of people trying to string out rabbits on meth?Whatever the reason, it's just good to know that somebody's looking out for the sobriety of woodland animals in The Volunteer State. Weird Law No. 3: Are You Sure The Road's Clear? >>

Weird Law No. 3

Rural Drivers Must Fire Signal Flares Every Mile -- Pennsylvania

At one time these Pennsylvania "rules of the road" set up by the Farmer's Anti-Automobile society probably made pretty good sense.After all, with autos in the early part of the 20th century sharing country roads with the livestock, you couldn't be too safe, right?Thus, this requirement for drivers on rural roads outside of towns of at least 500 residents. After firing his (yes, HIS) rocket flare, the motorist was required to wait 10 minutes to ensure all livestock had been startled off the road.Not thoroughly amused yet? The rules also called for a motorist to pull off the road and cover his vehicle so as not to spook an approaching team of horses. And if the horses still were startled? Said motorist then had to "quickly and completely disassemble his motorized vehicle and hide such under the nearest brush or shrubbery."Ah, simpler times. Weird Law No. 2: We Feel A Chill Coming On >>

Weird Law No. 2

No Baths In The Winter -- Clinton, Indiana

Like our last law, the long-forgotten prohibition against bathing in the winter in this Indiana town comes from a simpler -- and apparently less hygienic -- time.In the mid-1800s, laws regulating when and how people could bathe were all the rage.In Boston, people were prohibited from bathing on Sundays, and a doctor's note was needed on other days. Florida and Portland, Ore., once had laws requiring bathers to wear a bathing suit or other clothing. And Virginia law forbade bathtubs in the house, relegating them to the yard instead.At that time most doctors thought that people became sick when they got wet or chilled. With some researchers calling for more frequent baths to wash away germs, doctors disagreed and pushed for the bathtub laws.If you do bathe -- and find yourself in Pennsylvania while doing so -- just don't sing in the tub. That used to be illegal too. Weird Law No. 1: A Pocket Full Of Ice Cream >>

Weird Law No. 1

No Ice Cream Cones In Your Back Pocket -- Lexington, Kentucky

You might think it strange today that lawmakers would seek to protect you from a melty mess in your jeans, but there once was a good reason for such laws.Besides Lexington, this was also once the law of the land in states such as Alabama and Georgia. The reason? Very simple: To stop people from stealing horses.As anyone who's ever seen a western can attest, horse thieves were just about the lowest no good, dirty, rotten scoundrels around. Some sunk even lower by using the promise of a pocket ice cream treat to lure horses away. If caught, they could always claim the horse simply followed them home.You can lead a horse to ice cream, and not only make it eat it, but give it a brain freeze in the process. A cold and sticky butt isn't ideal today, but it was once apparently a small price to pay for a gently used horse.

Love you take care

So day 3...

Today was very quiet. finally the RV is warm, with the propane for running the heater and with the electric heater to just keep up the warmness is a good thing. Also the outside temps are warming up a bit. so that helps too.

Storm Chaser is lazy!!! dad bought him some cat treats and boy does he like them. Dad now bribes the cat our of his chair.

dad has been doing research on new programs and the costs for the job. hopefully it will all work out.

Tomorrow is sunday and I will be calling Grandma, G.. and H, Like I always do on Sunday, you know free minutes and all, even though H calls are always free.

So we are relaxing and vegging out in the RV. Watched Transformers and Transformers 2 today. Watched them before, but had to have some sort of noise going on. now to find something else to watch.

Hope you are doing well! you will learn the ropes quick and you will be great at what ever you do, do.

Here are a few of my favorite status updates for facebook I used today:
 
Did you know sharks will only attack you if your wet, IT'S A FACT

If your cats stare at you for more then 5 minutes, it means their bowl is empty and their getting ready for the kill.

A dog thinks, she loves me and takes care of me she must be a God. Cats think, she loves me and takes care of me I must be a God.

"Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience."


Including a pic of Storm chaser that I uploaded today for Facebook.

As always Love you take care and smile always life will get better.
Mom

It is sunny today, and in the 40's. so it is kind of nice. No real news to share, nothing good to share. i did see the Big E shuttle about your division, and saw you in a pic. that was kind of neat to see!

Dad is slowly.. and i mean slowly making breakfast, hash browns, bacon and eggs..  I think I will starve before he gets it done. lol..

Anyway just wanted to let you know we are thinking about you.
