I'm Leaving On A Jet Plane
Well all, that time has come. In a few short hours I'll be boarding a jet bound for the east coast. I have an overnight layover and then I'll be out for Germany on Sunday.
You know, after a few dozen trips away from the family you'd think you'd get used to it, but I can tell you it doesn't get any easier to have to leave your family again. Luckily, this time there is a chance they may get to come visit midway through my tour.
While I am in transit and getting settled there may be some slim postings. I'd like to extend an invite to Mamamontezz, Delftsman, Darth Monkeybone, Linda, Beth, Beth, 2D or any of the Loyal Citizens that would like to have something posted here on my behalf. If you are interested in helping me keep this thing afloat simply email your post to Mamamontezz and she will make sure it gets posted (assuming that it is appropriate Slaughterhouse material that is).
Thanks again to everyone who reads regularly. My next post will be coming to you live from Germany.
Take care and "talk" to you then.
SlagleRock Out!
May your tour be safe and filled with good times and great beer.
Hope all goes well for the family.

I'll keep checking in to see what adventurous meanderings you have had.
Godspeed and a safe return.

I would like to thank all of you for visiting his Blog and for supporting him the way you do.I am sure that it makes his departure much easier, knowing that he is in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you all for supporting all of our troops and for your love of country.
May God bless and protect all of you.
