Less than 1 month left!

Well we are down to less than 1 month remaining here at FOB Shank.  We have already packed 2 containers with our personal gear.  It was nice to actually free up some room in our living area.  Our X-box video game system finally decided to quit on us due to all the dust and dirt.  We have found a new game to play-darts.  We held a tournament and world rankings were established.  I got into the tournament late and had to start at the bottom (19th).  I quickly worked my way up and took on the top seed (CPT Hart) who had successfully defended his title numerous times.  I finished him off with a double bulls-eye to take the #1 spot.  All else is going well.  Here in Afghanistan they had harvest season (which seemed to slow down some of the enemy activity).  Fall is in the air and it is getting a bit cooler.  I believe that the fighting season is starting to dwindle as insurgents are starting to head to Pakistan for the winter.  Hopefully all our timelines will fall into place and we will be back home soon.
