OK, I found it on stalkerbook. Definitely looks like it's in the range of possibility; probably rolling through around end of July?

Tards. [image][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/loransmith/furniture/DSCN7089.jpg[/IMG][/image] I ditched it on etsy for $650, about 1/5 what I would normally charge, but we really didn't want to put it in storage with the rest of our belongings and ship it out to CO. The buyer wants me to replace the key and glass on the upper box with a shell inlay of sand shaded maple and mahogany. Guess I'll try to work on that today. Only charging him an extra $75 for that, and although the whole inlay is only about 2 1/2" long x 1 1/2" high, it's a lot of detailed work. Seriously cramping my attitude of slackitude. you should put a notice in the town's paper of your recent success. kind of like how people put notices of when their kids graduate from college or get married. not sure how you'd word it, but still, that'd be pretty funny to cut it out of the paper and put as a hidden time piece inside the time capsule, only for someone to discover it 50 years from now just so that the town manager's kid can be embarrassed when he's the asst clerk. The town's folk and the Powers That Be were on opposite ends of the excitement scale when we left in October. I did not leave with many sympathizers in the town Establishment. World famous in New Durham! Woo! A name that will live in infamy! Rage against the Machine! what a bunch of tools.
As far as I know, I've never heard the band. I was referring more to a state of mind.

The best part about re-orienting is that anytime, anywhere, you can always stop what you are doing, re-orient, and change the course of your day. I think I may just have to do dat right now.

I reoriented my day today.
Got tired of what I was doing, packed up my desk and headed back to the office. Working on a different project and 1/2 the stress. Much better!

Saskatoon was probably the farthest. Did some army time on an ammo depot about 40km outside the city I don't talk about it because I try to forget saskatoon is my home town Brutal actually, it's a lovely city with lots going on. the weather sucks and you are on the prairies, but other than that, it was a great place. Cold, flat and isolated...
hmmm
cold, flat, but not isolated. it's a fairly big city, nice music scene, good university, good food. no climbing scene,but close to lakes and northern camping.
rather be there than is ontarible.....but that's just me

Well, a good freind and climbing partner was let go from work yesterday. Wed I had a bad sense of foreboading. He seemed to be going through a rough stretch at home. He lives close enough though. So hopefully we'll still be able to rope up.
Actually quite a few freinds and acquaintances were let go this week.

I've been invited to a friend's jack and jill (A fundraising pre-party for engaged couples)... but I havent been invited to the wedding.
Would any of you hesitate to go throw money at a wedding that you're not wanted at?

I would send regrets due to a "prior engagement." Please excuse the double entendre.
And no way in hell I would send money. If its cash they want, they should stay single or marry up.

I've never heard of such a thing. Why would I help fund someone else's elaborate and entirely superfluous "Me, Me, Me, look at Me!!" ceremony?

Five of us were supposed to go climbing this weekend. After several rounds of bailing and general ambivalence about the, almost certain to be, wet and seeping conditions, we did not go clip bolts in WV on Saturday. Plans were reworked to just hit the local spot and wank about. Another round of bailing ensued. Finally it was down to two but I did not want to tie in, I wanted to run laps. So I bailed on my partner and then went climbing 
28 pitches including downclimbs. Was kind of crowded but no one got squirrely on me for climbing near them. Was a good session.
