Whudup from Iraq

[LonesomeTriZ]

Just wanted to say "sup"? I have not been on here in a while and I miss talking with every one. And yes, even those of you who get on my nerves. I am suffering from a lack of riding. But I plan to make up for it when I come home in 2010. At least all the Tri-Z guys can by parts now from ebay with out me hogging them. Oh well, ride safe, I look forward to rejoining your ranks soon.

[Louis Mielke]

Word Lonesome! Hows things out there in the REAL sand country?

Hot and dusty...

[ATC-Eric]

:beer

[84honda200s]

keep safe man and give em hell.

[The Goat]

chin up...and head down.

I've got a buddy in Korea who will be heading that way soon.

[Billy Golightly]

Louis...good to hear from ya man. Sorry to hear your gonna end up being over there that long, but hopefully everything will work out for ya.

[honda250sx]

Louis stay safe man and give em hell! I have a buddy that was in the military before opting out and going to work for cresent. He has since gone missing with 4 others... Take her easy

[LonesomeTriZ]

I heared about those cresent guys. I was hoping to get hired on with one of those security companies. I have been flirting with several. All I do now is investigations and force protection. I miss going outside the wire.

[honda250sx]

Well they have identified my buddy Jon body in southern iraq. He is on his way home. He was found with the bodies of 4 other crecent employee's. Your lucky cresent and blackwater are barred from iraq. Serve and come home its not worth it. Check out FreeCote.com....

[LonesomeTriZ]

I read about that a few weeks ago. I am glad they finally found them. Blackwater is still here though. I have spoke to several of their people recently and I have a very good friend that works for them. There is another Kuwait based company here as well. I was told they are Cresent just under a new name. Who knows what the real story is.

[Bryan Raffa]

Just saying Hi! Lonesome..Be safe over there Bro!

It's nice you got the time too stop in and say Hello!

[LonesomeTriZ]

Now that I have a job inside the wire, I should be able to do it more often. Have you done anymore to your Z?

[Bryan Raffa]

oh ya buddy.. you know me ...its allways something..refreshing the drag bike,MX bike,and my oladys bike..getting ready for TF...just like everyone else..the mad scramble too finnish everything..LOL

heres the new color on the 490 and my oladys bike..:cool:

[LonesomeTriZ]

I am in tears. Damn, I wish I could still play with my Z's. They are just rotting away right now. All that cool stuff I bought is still sitting on shelves to. There are certainly some draw backs to being over here.

Yours are looking good though.

[longbedGTs]

Sup Louis? Glad to hear all is going well. Got any pics of the rig youre driving? Take it easy! :beer

[LonesomeTriZ]

Hey man, how is that Ranger running? I wish I could find one like it. I am in a different job now. I handle security here on the FOB. Everything from criminal activity to force protection. It keeps me inside the wire and very busy.

[longbedGTs]

Eh, I started driving a semi truck, so I sold the Ranger Diesel. Too bad you cant go riding over there! I bet theres days of fun to be had in the wicked dunes over there! Maybe you can get an MP to find an Iraqee(?) and confiscate their trike. "Move along buddy, this is official Police business. You ready to ride Louis? Hell yeah!" :TrikesOwn :w00t:

[LonesomeTriZ]

It would be gret to ride these dunes. Excpet, you might go boom if you ride over thr wrong spot. Some other riders and I have decussed that. Such a waste

[Billy Golightly]

So Louis, are you workin mostly inside the green zone around the embassy and stuff now? Seems like that'd be a lot better then out and about in the open like you were.

[LonesomeTriZ]

Actually, I am in Mosul. It is the hottest city in theater right now. The base I am at is right up against the city. We here explosions and firefights all the time. However, with the exception of a few inderect fire attacks it is pretty quiet inside the wire.

[honda250sx]

Lou did you even end up with a 4 wheeled converted tri-z by anychance?

[LonesomeTriZ]

Why yes I did. I have not seen it yet though. I am not sure if it has even gotten to the house yet.

Never a dull moment huh? :lol: Try to make lite of the situation.


Where all have you been to? Anywheres in particular that was pretty neat? Have you been to the parade grounds in Baghdad by any chance where the big sword statues and stuff go over the road?

[LonesomeTriZ]

Dude, my previous job took me all over this country. I have seen so many things, but not the swords. There was talk about blowing them up recently. I am not sure if they are even still there. I'll have to show you some of the photographs when I get home.

[Billy Golightly]

You get to take pictures and keep them? That is sweet...I'd definitely like to check that out.

[LonesomeTriZ]

They all end up looking the same after a while.

[scooterroo]

dude its good to hear your still hanging in there. take care of yourself over there man. like everyone else is saying, chin up, head down. goodluck with the rest of your time, keep safe!!!

[LonesomeTriZ]

Thanks. I am hoping the next few years will fly by.
