*sigh*

I love Portand.

At the risk of being redundant, the winery/brewery crawl is officially on for Saturday morning/afternoon.  We've got about 5 so far, who else wants in?  We're leaving for Woodinville at 10am to catch the first Chateau Ste. Michelle tour.

Which will probably end up being 11.

By which I mean noon.*

Also redundant:  Party at my place afterward.  There ( Read more... )

Saturday night, my place.

It's a little early, but the timing works out better this way.  The new roommate's birthday is next week too, so it's a bit of a double celebration.

Also, there's talk of the Woodinville winery/brewery tour this weekend.  Maybe Saturday before the party?

My last New Year's resolution had a deadline of "Before Burning Man" and the burn marks a really good demarcation point for the year.  So from now on I'm doing my resolutions at the burn, instead of January 1st ( Read more... )

Just got in.  We left about 17 hours ago.  Near as I can tell, I haven't slept since the 21st (barring a midday bender on Saturday).  Right now I need a shower, then we'll see how the sleep schedule evolves.  I'm kinda curious.

Three station molds in place.  Wobbly, but in place.  Not quite enough clearance to lay up the garboard, but I don't think my back can take much more.  I'm learning a lot of what not to do this time through.  I was going to go in to the lab tomorrow morning and put in a few hours, but now I think I'll work in my garage instead.  I'd like to see the ( Read more... )

A friendly reminder to you kids out there:  Rare-earth magnets and loose razor blades do not mix ( Read more... )

Went in to the lab today and worked for 8 straight hours.  Yet, nothing seems to be done.  I hate that.  Grr.  Anyway, tomorrow morning I have a meeting with people, hopefully that will go well.  It wouldn't kill me to hand some of this stuff off to an ME.  Mostly I just want to finish what I'm working on before Friday, when I'm going to lose two ( ( Read more... )
