Oh how I wish I was in Texas!
HeliOS brings a little warmth to winter.
Nice job, gotta love those humans.
Amenditman: I live 20 miles from the
border, thats just close enough.
But if Ken ever invites me over I can
be there in a few hours.
Been a while man, sorry I dropped out like that. I went to cover some stuff over in Afghanistan for my company...we've set up a complete open source internet backbone in the southern region. I even got a chance to catch an overland to Ryan's base. He's looking well and in great spirits. He and the rest of his platoon sent their love and thanks for the Phone Cards. When he figured out how much you spent on them he had a small fit, but he got over it. These guys love you.
Yeah, call me and let me know when you need some help and I'll be there. I am back in Temple but commute to Austin every weekday. I can stay at gf's house over the weekend if you need me then.
BTW...have you seen what you know who is saying about you now. I am guessing you don't. He's really doing you a favor. As soon as people like me come check you out, his obsessive hatred becomes obvious.
Thank you for everything you do for our Central Texas kids. I will send you some pics of Afghanistan as soon as I get them developed. I took them with an old Cannon Rebel...better than any digcam I've used to date.

Hey Drew,
Glad you made it back. Thanks for mentioning the phone cards. Kenny could have spent that 3K on himself but he gave it to my Band of Brothers. May God keep and hold him.
I was on a user forum the other day and heard some people from Texas complaining of the cold there. What'd it get down to...35 degrees? Come on over here if you get too miserable, LOL...I can introduce to to a cold like you've never experienced. Even the goats are mugging each other for extra fur.
Kenny, thanks for everything you've done here. We have a CEV in our battalion and we named it Helios. With a 165 mikemike front gun, it makes about as much noise as you do but doesn't quite come close to doing the damage.
you don't like it...come talk to me about it. LOL
peace brother. Be home in April.
RS
I enjoy your blog.Ken.
Merry Christmas and don't get too wasted.
LOI...
Ken doesn't "do" wasted.

Merry Christmas to all you who read helios blog.
Blessings
