He’s lookin alot better today. Completely conscious, and talking.
He’s so lucky. He has a “magic button”. Every ten minutes he gets to push this “magic button”… and then…. magic stuff happens… like…. sweet sumptious morphine comes to make life happy.
We told him all the stuff you guys have been sayin, and he wanted me to say how blessed he feels to have all these friends praying for him. He’s very greatful. And he likes morphine.
I grabbed a couple photos while I was in there today. Enjoy!

Drugs are bad gooooood. | Welcome to the gun show.

Update ยป Saw Jared a couple hours ago. He had wires galore comin’ outta him, and he seemed pretty loopy. Kept askin what happened, so we kept tellin him. We think he’ll be outta the hospital on Monday. He’s mighty high on sweet morphine, so he kept fadin in and out when we were there.
Well.. We are thanking God that he didn’t break his neck or back. It could have been so much worse, so we are greatful.

Please keep my brother Jared in your thoughts and prayers. He took a spill off a roof today at work, and ended up in the ER.
From what mom told me on the phone, he has:
- 3 busted ribs
- deflated lung
- concussion
- fractured pelvis
- possible back injury
He was workin with his boss, and the boss’ brother up on the first story of a roof (framers), when he must have slipped. Nobody saw exactly how he fell, but he landed on his left side, leaving that whole half bruised and scraped plus the above injuries.
He’s been down at the Kootenai hospital all day, and mom has been with him. She said that he has a temporary memory loss, because he kept on asking the same questions to my mom, over and over again. She mentioned one was him asking where his daughter is. So it’s a pretty rough time for all of us right now.
As soon as Carrie gets off work, we’re headed down to see him. So I’ll update you later tonite, probably around 9 PST.

This is the awesome birthday gift I got this year! So now I can go out in the woods, and get lost on purpose. sweet. But I cant wait to hit the woods out by Hayden Creek, national forest area, so I can try out the tracking feature, etc. Maybe i’ll find some geocaches while im out there. Then i’ll be cool like Jarrid and Woods.
Thanks Gloria & Rick, Jarrid and Deet Deet! You guys helped pay for this bad boy!
If you’re new to the GPS, here’s how it works. I remember comin across an awesome flash demonstration about a year ago, on how the GPS works. Can’t find it though. So that’ll have to suffice.

So everybody, let me tell you about how Erik ruined my 23rd Birthday.
Friday afternoon (right now), come home from work, all beat down and tired… to find three nifty presents on the couch for me. Woo hoo!!!
My birthday is actually tomarrow, so the wifey will only let me open one…. so temptuous! I want them all!!! I neeeeeed them all!!!! Nope. Only one. So I allow her to pick out the one I get. She decides to go with the new Levi 517 Bootcut Jeans. Nice! I needed em too. Mine are all beat down, and full o holes.
I’m not used to having other people by my jeans, so I was a little uneasy about its sizing, as I pulled it out the bag. Sure enough. It was a 34W and a 32L. Doh! I’m a 32W by 34L. So torturous. Because theres my favorite pants, all nice and new and I was unable to wear them. DANG it!
I know what yer thinkin. “Why don’t you just go change em out?” Great idea! Cept for these pants were just shipped up from Paso Robles, CA, by my buddy Erik. The reason for that is, Levi Strauss had stopped makin the bootcut jeans about a year ago. I guess Wrangler was beatin em out on the sales of cowboy jeans. But I hate Wranglers. They feel cheap. Their so-called “bootcut” won’t even fit over my boots nicely. Too tight. So when I sit down, they hike up. When I stand up… they stay up. It gets old pullin’ em down, everytime I stand up.
Whelp. Levi’s decided to bring the 517 bootcuts back. Only, now they’re made by our friends in the Dominican Republic. So now I gotta wear cheap 517’s. Dang it. But at least they’ll fit over my boot cuffs.
Well… Thanks for the attempt big guy.

Just wanted to congratulate my younger brother on June 11th (His time), as he turns 21. As most know, Sure Fire is serving out his time in S. Korea at Camp Humphreys. He is being relocated to Fort Bragg in North Carolina real soon now. Go over and tell him he’s the man… and to bag a few of them North Koreans for us.
Now its time for that honky to git some handguns and beers.

So I get a call from my sister while I’m at the shop here. A gunshot went off at the neighbors, and sent Copper flyin to the house all shook up. He’s a big sissy when it comes to guns. Anyways, when he arrives, he has a nose full of quills. Ouch. But I think the neighbor blasted the culrpit.
So I grab some needle nose pliers and the camera. This outta be fun.
