Sorry to have been an absent campanion of late....... I hate winter and the lack of sunshine tends to drag on me and I have recently lost a sunny and humorous hunting buddy to a really shitty disease, and one of the best friends any man could have and a mentor in the many ways of the wild has been laid up in cardiac intensive care since Christmas...... This has put me in a very crummy mood and I really worried that this would come through to you all......
Speaking of cardiac issues, our own Colonel Defender, Psyop's Dad, Steve Kelly is having surgery as I write..... The Colonel is definitely one of the truly good guys and prayers and positive vibes should be sent by us all to St. Joe on his behalf.......
I am at SHOT right now after an invigorating 2,000 mile drive stopping off in Barlow, KY to impose on the Tradewater's, sent an enjoyable lunch with Cbear in St. Louie and then a great day and a half in Boulder with new friends and reconnected with friend Gary Neptune, legendary climber, runner, X country skier, Antarctic and Himalaya vet, etc., etc...... If in Boulder stop by Neptune Mountaineering and check out the museums portion of the shop...... Very enlightening...... Good gear too.....
Will be more in touch ......
All Best.....
