Bravewolf and I had to go up to Armada this weekend. By "must" I mean we had run into a old SCA friend who hadn't been to a event in years and talked him into going to the event. We had been planning to go anyways but would have felt pretty bad if he went and didn't find us there. His name in the SCA, for those who might remember him, is Kelson the ( Read more... )

There's 3 other lakes 2nd, 3rd and....wait for it....4th lake. We launched from a really cute little campsite into the river just above the lake and rode the current down to the lake. The river was ( Read more... )

Hey out there. been quite awhile since I posted. Things have been super busy. work is INSANE. I'm wishing I could clone myself so that I could work enough hours to keep up. My bosses are pretty accommodating when it comes to my health and any issues that come up with my kidney failure but the fact remains that things are super busy ( Read more... )
