I hope eveeryone's weekend was as awesome as mine!

Got more stuff to do but at least I know where I stand. The evaporator tests went well and I'm pretty upbeat.

Now to find a decent genset... anyone know a Honda dealer who owes them a favor?? >>winks!<<

Can heli tempt you with a beverage?

Lassen Forge · Post by **Lassen Forge** » Sun May 15, 2005 6:29 pm

Heli, you can temp me with *anything* >grins and winks, evilness included<...

But a drink would be ducky! I haven't had a decent martini in a while...

And I could already picture the look on her husband's face when she gave it to him. It's not about the money. Or is it? If the Universe gives you a gift....I dunno what I'm trying to say here.... If you have a gift, doesn't it feel better if you create it and then make somebody happy by it??....oh hell, what are the words?? I gave the walkimg stick to this lady and it was so hard to take her money, but she insisted, but all I was happy about was that somebody enjoyed the creativeness...and wanted to pass it on to someone that SHE loved...

THAT gave me joy. I didn't care about the money. I really didn't...
I cared more about her joy in it. And the joy her husband was going to feel on his birthday when she gave it to him.

Sweetie--perhaps you sold yourself short. She offered you the $150, that means she thought your work was worth it. And this is such a hard culture on artists and their worth. You did what was in your heart and I wont fault you for that, but there's no reason you should wear yourself out making other people happy but not take care of yourself. [/unsolicited advice.]

Hiya Fishy! Smooches right back atcha. I'll take a Technopatra Toddy:

1 tsp maple sugar
1 big squeeze from a lemon
(mix until sugar is dissolved)
1 shot Jim Beam Black
hot water

I just invented that drink a couple of weeks ago when I had a cold, the maple sugar gives the old toddy a whole new layer of flavor....mmmmm....goood.

So how the hell IS everybody? I am procrastinating before a meeting so I thought I 'd drop by and say hey. Miss you guys...just have been so all about work that I have nothing interesting to say!

technopatra · Post by **technopatra** » Mon May 16, 2005 12:29 pm

oh excpet that I'll be playing around with this buddy system thing...does it do any good?

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Mon May 16, 2005 12:32 pm

how the hell IS everybody?

Living in oblivion. And suburbia. The usual.

buddy system thing

Haven't noticed any efffect thus far. Of course, I barely have time to peruse here any more.

Lassen Forge · Post by **Lassen Forge** » Mon May 16, 2005 1:14 pm

OK, I'm in... I need a boilerbreaker...

2 shots Makers
2 shots 151
2 shots Jaegarmeister
and a ca-legal Everclear floater, lit on fire...

THEN we'll get into some serious drinking.

And to Heli, the answer is yes. How could I not??

Hi everybody!
