Long Time Gone

Well, I've been back home for a good long while now. Almost seven months, in fact. My attention has been focused on my wife, work, and getting ready for the upcoming Iron Butt Rally in August. I meant to post a rather comprehensive post about the Rally preperations, but it's bed time. Between 7am Saturday and 7am Sunday this last weekend I completed the 2009 Cal24 Endurance Rally. It was good practice for the Iron Butt Rally, and I got to see a lot of countryside I wouldn't have otherwise. If you're curious as to what the Iron Butt Rally is, go to and read up.

I was selected to participate for this rally while I was in Afghanistan, and it really gave me something to focus on and get excited about. More on that soon.
