style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Long time since I have talked to a
lot of you. I have been somewhat busy writing letters and such and
sometimes doing some actual work. It is going good out here except for the
fact that I absolutely hate sand, and this not ordinary sand. This sand
gets in every little crack that you can imagine, *<B><SPAN
style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">shudder</SPAN></B>*. Well I cannot complain as I
am living it up pretty well out here. My shop consists of an old bunker
that used to house MIG’s in it. I will be posting some pictures of my shop
and more pictures sometime this week. I will send the link out to my dad
and he will let ya’ll know. I get to use the computer, surf the internet,
sleep in an air conditioned tent, do my business in flush toilets, take hot or
cold showers, eat edible chow that is not MRE’s, and drink the life giving drink
of Dr. Pepper or Pepsi if they are out on occasion. The PX is small but
well stocked. They have a small library but it is so cluttered and random
that it is a pain to find anything I like. I am lacking in intellectual
challenges as what we do mostly is online classes and wait for computers to
break, so if you want to send me anything books are about the only thing that I
could want. Hmmm that and trail mix and jerky. I like Science
Fiction, Fantasy, and Classic novels. So anything pretty much over three hundred
pages with no pictures I will read. Guess you would need authors to choose
from.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

of right now. Ya’ll know what I like so whatever is good by me. If
you come up with anything good my parents will be using my money to send me a
package with the stuff I asked from them. Well that takes care of pretty
much everything that I want. Thank you all for all the solicitations for
things. How is the SCA and our fair Shire doing? I have been away
for a while and would love to attend an event when I come back from this
desolate place. If you know of any events around the March-April time
frame I would love to come. Also I would like the lyrics to some bardic
pieces, which would make my day. Well fare well
everyone.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
