I’m still here
on: December 09, 2017, 05:02:41 PM
Hey everyone! Just wanted to check in with you all. I’m still alive and well. I have gone through some major changes in my life and do not have time for the things I once did. I now have a wonderful family with a beautiful, and I mean beautiful, wife with four kids. I am so lucky to have her and our kids are amazing. I could not be happier. I moved to a even smaller town with livestock, and orchards in every direction. We don’t even have a Walmart or a Starbucks within 30 miles which is actually kind of nice. The only downside is work. I’m about 1 1/2 drive from work and they have been cutting my hours dirastically. Money is real tight and almost non existent with the new expenses. The kids eat A LOT, but I love them and will do anything I can to support my family as I’m sure any of us would do. Once I get my PO Box set up I will be putting some things I have left up for sale on the forum. It’s funny how the things we think matter mean much less when we go through changes like this. I used to buy and carry many, many different knives and MT’s but now I don’t even think about it. I carry the same EDC every day because it fills my needs and I know it covers all basis for my day. I will get into my new carry another time. Thanks for listening everyone. Besides the family I don’t really have anyone to talk to and I will always love my MTO family. You guys have always been here for me and I truly appreciate that. Have a wonderful day everyone and hope I can stop in more often.  :tu:

All the best. Family is the greatest thing on earth for human beings. You now have two families (at least, counting MTO of course), so you’re double lucky.

Hey Capt,  This is awesome news.  WOW my friend you have gone thru some dramatic changes.  A wife and 4 kids sounds like a dream come true.  Kids sure do eat a lot but its a whole lotta wonderful to watch them grow.  I am wishing you the very best in this terrific adventure. 

Will you keep a few things to pass to the kids? 

Pop in when you can to say hi.  We'll all be thinking about you and sending you prayers and positivity.
