I guess it's about time I check in with you folks to let you know what's happening. I know I'm terrible with keeping up over here. Anywhere really. It has been a super busy several months since I was on here last. I took a leave of absence and spent a good chunk of the summer in Costa Rica. It was probably the only CA country I hadn't visited yet. It was gloriously uneventful and was a much needed respite from the daily. Not to mention I got to fly my daughter down with her girl scout troop for 10 days! Upon arrival home, I went back to work immediately. I am still in my position with the local PD. I took on a job at the college as an adjunct instructor for the LE academy. I mostly teach defensive tactics and physical training, but I help in other fields as well. The DT/PT portion is about 8-12 hours extra a week of work, so that is about enough as it is. The family is all doing well. My oldest boy is about an hour away at welding school. He is due to graduate in December and will hopefully go off and do great big things and be happy doing them! Weston is still cancer free, but not without effects from the treatment, which are all live withable... The rest of the crew is fantastic, all the way down to the little's and mama bear is great too! I'll try to update some of the threads I started in the Spring. We had a fantastic garden, the chicken project has kept us in protein like you wouldn't believe! There hasn't been much time for working on the trucks and what not, but things will slow down some day maybe!
Ya'll take care,
HC
