I secound that announcement Ian

Any way first, Sorry to hear about that Ian, hope all works out well.

And next My last few months have been shit. As you know I was back in NC when I ran Gorilla and sperated my shoulder causing me not to be able to kayak for at least 6 weeks. Then My car dies in my parents driveway with bran new tires i just bought. Then I get back to MT and I work five days and on the 6th I cut my Left index finger with a Skill saw. It only took the finger print off my completely hamburgering it to the bone and the tip of the finger nail. So I could eat any Thanksgiving Dinner b/c I was all drugged up. Then a week later showed the fingure to a friend who freaked out made me go see a specialist who then ordered me to have a skin graft from my forarm to the fingertip. It went well after 6 hours at the office. But now it hurts like shit and is ugly as hell and the skin might die.

Any way I learned metal beats skin in a was stronger competition.

Peace out Family and happy holidays. Ira

In the midst of it

Peace, love, health and happiness, to all members of "The Family" and their extended families in this Holiday season. Ian sorry to hear about your cousin and aunt.

As far as my life goes, I am skiing it up here in Driggs, I will be in West Virginia on Saturday, until Thursday, so if anyone wants to visit me give a call and my Grandma will cook up some home made biscuits and gravy and other delicacies of life. I would love to make it down to Ashvegas, but I had enough trouble getting off of work for 5 days to fly to WV. However, the true blue family reunion tour, to ring in the year 2007, will be happening in Driggs Idaho. Landon and Ira at the very least will be here to defecate on 2006 and ring in the new year (everyone else is invited, as I have plenty of floor space in my crappy house). Other than that peace out.

i hate 2006

damn this year has been shite. the bad news keeps rolling in. i'm in boulder, co now. i flew out on thursday. went skiing with my cuz Aaron, who some of yall met when he visited aville and dave knows, on sat. our fouth run he slammed into a tree at 40 miles per hour and tore a hole through his aorta, he got to the hospital just in time to undergo emergent open chest surgery. the surgery went well and he is stable condition in icu (tsicu), but we almost lost him. its been stressful as hell, ive spent 19 of the last 24 hours in the hospital with him. he will be in tsicu through wed or thursday.

i also lost an aunt on this week that i was very close to. we are not sure yet the cause of death.


thanks for your thoughts.

What Up

Just a quick shot out to the Family. Landon gives us a call.

Be smart, drink your wine. Scale back your long hopes to a short period. Even as we speak, envious time is running away from us. Seize the day, and trust as little as possible in the future.

Live it up my friends.
