Hi guys and galls, just thought I'd write in and give you guys an update as to how things are going. I've been kind of quiet lately but for good reasons.
For those that don't know, at the end of July I moved out of my brother Seth's house in to an apartment next door. My new place is nice, though the rooms are a little small. It's student housing with lots of cool people living here. And tons on lovely ladies.
There are 5 of us in this apartment and most of us are computer geeks and semi knife/sword people so it works out pretty well. About half of my things are unpacked.. Still trying to locate a box of knives and another box of leather supplies. I know they have to be here somewhere... I moved acrost an ally way not acrost state. LOL!! 
Am currently single and looking. Been going on a few dates, but nothing serious. Will hopefully be doing more of that in the near future.
2 weeks ago to day I bought my brothers old car, a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am coup with the 3.3L V6 engine. Doesn't get the best gas milage, but it sure is fun to drive and nice to have. Plus it's easier to go on dates now that I have a car and am not stuck riding the bus everywhere. Though I plan on taking the bus to and from work when ever possible. The car is more for weekends and long trips.
For those that have been asking, my wrist is doing well, I have probably 90% mobility in it and about 70% strenght. though it does act up every once in a while. The elbow is mostly good, since it's cronic Popeye elbow I have to be carefull so as not to bump it or over stress it, and think I mostly have that down. Life is good. :thumbup:
The sad news is that my older brother inlaw Reed passed away today from cancer in the lungs and brain. About a month ago he got sick and just wasn't feeling good. Didn't know what was wrong. About 2 weeks ago he went to sleep and didn't wake up for a while. Was in a comma for a week or two, then woke up and the doctors gave him a few weeks to live. Sunday my sister was able to take him home and care for him, with Hospis coming in every few days to do check ups. His children flew in when he got out of the comma and as far as I know most were home when he passed. I'm glad he isn't suffering any more but am really sad too. Funeral is set for Saturday. Won't be able to make it, so I'll go camping instead and remember the fun times we had in years past. Dutch Oven dinner with friends, camping, hiking, rock climbing and of course the knives will be in use to cut wood and do other camp chores. My brother inlaw Reed was a good man, strong in his faith and respected by many people. He will be missed.
Other than that, things are good. Am active in the BYU Outdoor Adventure club this week. We head to Moab and Arches next weekend. Should be a fun semester.
Hope everyone is doing good. I should be around more in the next few days, my boss gave me the weekend off. I need to call family and friends to let them know whats up. God Bless!!
