Ok, so I've been crazy busy meeting new people, working, and traveling a bit. To a certain someone in the great white north somewhere in the Madison area.....HI! I'm alive. Got your message, been busy will call this weekend. PROMISE!!!
Quick recap:
Quit the coffee shop job
Started a real job
Bought a new car - Toyota FJ Cruiser
Forgot how my camera works
Started listening to HAM radio stuff - not talking yet
Went to Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Indiana, Jekyll Island, Washington D.C., and N. Georgia mountains (not in that order)
Bought new camping gear, broke some old camping gear (not in that order)
Bought new bedroom furniture from a BIG flat pack store with the letters AEKI (letters not in that order)
Got a new girlfriend...she's 4, so we'll have to wait. In the mean time, Katie is still my one and only!
Made lots of new friend with the FJ Cruiser folks
Started minor renovations on my house, still can't take a shower though. (I stink, except for the times when I shower at Katie's place)
My old shoes/boots stunk really bad, so I bought new ones
With the future of combining households growing nearer, I've started thinning my wardrobe. (Yeah, the 8th grade t-shirts and "vented" underwear had to go!)
Flat, folding green stuff is currently being exchanged for round, shiny stuff
Shadow got his ass wore out at Jekyll Island! (Who knew a dog could run 10 miles while tied to a bicycle?)
He's fine, just need to sleep for three days to recuperate
Katie and I started CERT training with DeKalb County. We've learned first aid, disaster preparedness, and we've put out fires! Next up is Light Search and Rescue and then Communications. It's been a neat experience
I've cut back on drinking alcohol. I haven't found a replacement yet, so 12 Cokes a day will have to do until then
Not much else going on. Just been generally....busy.
howdy, stranger.

Hey! I emailed you when I was going to be Atlanta, but I didn't hear back. And then I WAS in Atlanta, but I didn't see you. But I still had fun! Will be back again around Thanksgiving maybe. Shoot me an email and we'll drink Cokes. Would love to see you and Katie again!

Thanks for the update! It's great to hear from you. I'm glad things are going well. Those FJ's are beastly!

Glad you're alive! Greetings from the great white north. So HAM radio must be your newest addiction; that explains why you haven't been blogging. That's good. Variety is the spice of life. Good to hear from you. Give Shadow a pat for me.
