Day 194

The weather has cooled down from it's 140+ F degrees. The thermometer wouldn't read passed that and it was sitting in the heat all day. It gets down to the 40's at night and up in the 80's during the day. It rained one day so far. But soon enough it will be raining everyday and then the dust turns to mud.
Since the surge has been instated, the attacks by the enemy has been cut down by 70%. Not only do I get to see this through statistics but also through my job too. The less that my robots get blown up, the less that the IED's are being planted in the roads. Life is peaceful for the most part, but every now and then you're shaken with reality when a mortar hits. Most of the time they attack in the morning, but sometimes you'll hear one at night.
I'm up to 182 confirmed kills and counting. Those pesky house flies and mosquitos didn't know what was coming to them. I taught them never to bug anyone again.
I've been making plans to break out of baghdad. The monotony is getting to me. Day in and day out. I've been gathering together a team. It should be a surefire plan. I'm grabbing an intel person and a Macgyver person. I've got the ammo and the robots. What can go wrong? Let's put the Ft. Jackson training to test. Who's with me?

A "McGuyver person"? Is that the technical term for it?
