The four-wheeler restoration began today. It's a great time trying to figure out how to get it apart. I think I'll keep some detailed notes on how to get it back together. I got the carb. off and it looks to be the problem. Inside was a broken gasket with some mud and gunk.

3rd Platoon's shaping up despite having to go to court this week on two different cases. Good Soldiers aren't always good at life. There's a lot of potential on the E-4 level. I'm looking forward to making them NCOs before the deployment. Hopefully next month I can get them into some leadership positions during patroling.

As it turns out we're not going to the advanced course. It's good to have a little time at home with Vanessa despite the upcoming training planned for this year. It looks like I'll miss Vanessa's birthday again this year. I think the next one I make might be 2011. I guess a huge present will be in order.
