yes i'm alive

[skiformance]

i know its been a while. but i'm alive and well, to well as i have lost 45 lbs. i have been in alaska working on the north slope fields. my rotation is over so i'm back for a month. jeri and i are still in the hobby although with me gone for up to 90 days at a time she has had to pick up a lot of the day to day responsibilities. aside from her working 60hrs a week. i do miss you good folks, and will try to get to some meetings. i'm just at a point where my career is taking off and the opportunities to better our quality of life is worth some sacrifices.
wishing all of you the best

You enjoying it up on the slope? It'll make you lose weight pretty quick. When I was living in Alaska I used to know several guys who worked up on the sloap. Its pretty crazy work.

well i went there weighing 250 and came back 205. yes its crazy but rewarding at the same time. many, many times i questioned my decision to go. but i was offered a management position upon my return home. so it was worth the madness.
