Building the garage has been a real battle, but on a good note we are going to try to get the siding on it this weekend! Finally!

On op of that my 83 year old grandmother fell ill for a while and had to be hospitalized, so Sam and I have been trying to go up to Longmont to see her as much as we can to help out.

Then.........yes there's more, I had to have an absess the size of a handball surgically removed from my leg and a week later a piece of tool steel from a body block shot me in the wrist at work and severed an aterery, the nerves to half of my hand and a tendon.

It is healing now after three surgeries and I am now in physical therapy for about two more weeks.

Can a guy just get a break?

I am going to be there on the 30th come hell or high water. I desperatly need the time away from all of this.

Oh! And my other computer died so we finally had to fire this one up again.

I think that covers all of the drama.

Chuck, thanks for the email. It's good to know that you all didn't forget about me yet!
