It has been awhile since I have been on here. Life as it is so called has continued to spiral out of control for me. I have been grasping at many things trying to just gain some ground and stability.
One thing is I started to train again with a friend from work who does cage fighting. We have been doing some full contact sparring and grappling. It has been a blast. I have gotten a little gun shy over the years that I have not done it. Basically since I got married. I also forgot though how much I like to get hit. Sounds strange but when your in a fight it reminds you, you still feel and you are still alive. I cant wait until the next time we get to go play. Here are a couple pics of the after effects. LOL...
I walked right into this one...DUH
Repeated leg kicks to each other...LOL
Secondly, My Brother and eye went on a backpacking trip to Reavis Ranch here in AZ. We both decided we needed to reconnect with the Mother. It had been some time since we had been out in nature. It was a 9 mile 4x4 drive back to the trail head and approx. 8 mile hike to were we camped. Even though the hike was ruff it was well worth it. It was beautiful country. Days were perfect lil chilly nights got down to 20 degrees BRRR! We had all sorts of adventures. Here are a few picks. I shall put more in an album to peruse if you like...

Welcome back!
Yeah, new tats always make me feel envious too. 
And apparently I'm fairly amusing to have around for drunkenness. Allegedly I tell everyone how much I love them, I make up ridiculous little songs, and I dance around a lot. I tend to be a happy goofy drunk. The downside? I'm a lightweight so if I get overzealous I will throw up. Haha.
