Hey Fam...

[Chopper]

How Y'all been?

Sorry I've been delinquent with regard to answering pm's & emails & stuff...

Just been pretty much invisible of late......

The story goes a little something like this...

After signing the lease on a new apartment, putting a few "new things" (futon, 40" LCD, new 7.1 receiver, etc) on credit, I got the word that Noridian Mutual decided to renege on the four yr contract that was signed a month or two ago.

No more security needed at night, buh-bye dub......gotta LOVE corporate integrity...

(whadda they write these contracts on???...toilet paper?)

Anyhoo...enjoyed a couple weeks off, got to hang wit TLMP..., & started snooping around for a job...

Two weeks & one day ago, I started my new career at the sunflower mine...

Sunflowers aren't actually mined, but some days it feels like I'm going to work in a mine.

For a substantial cut in pay, I now get all the upper body & lower back exercise that I can handle...SWEET!...
That's right, I now get to manhandle 50 lb bags of sunflower seeds & millet every day, for eight glorious hours.
Throw in a good measure of walking & sweeping, & you've got yerself a dream career...

After sitting on my arse for a year & a half, I'm not ashamed to say, the first two weeks were ROUGH... and by that I mean PAINFUL!
I had some serious hurt'n, in muscles that I forgot I had.

Anyway, feeling mo bettah now, gonna be better for me in the long run.

Hope y'all been happy & stay'n outta trouble...

Thanks to all those who called & pm'd during the time I went "invisible"...you know who you R...

Precisely why I'm thinking my next career may very well be, Grower of Medicinal (and recreational) Herbs!!
I can get treated like this anywhere, and no "Grey prejudice" in the weed industry HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ya knoooow... a good friend of mine and I have been talking about packing up and moving to Grand Junction, CO so we can get in on that * action and be close to all sorts of wheeling and camping and climbing and stuff... and REAL beer. We have a dispensary contact in Denver to help us out even. After living in Utah, GC would feel like Oaksterdam!

[vxDAKINECHICvx]

Ooooo you'd be closer!

[MSHardeman]

We have dispensaries popping up EVERYWHERE around here. I live in a town of just a couple thousand people and I think we have something like 20 or more dispensaries. I didn't know that there where that many "sick" people around here.

Zues, I have some friends who are in the "scene" if you need some contacts.

OH, and it's SO good to have you back and posting Dub. Sorry to hear about some of the hard ships, but glad that it seems to be working out.

Good to have you back Dub...

One of my favorite quotes about dealing with changes in our lives:

The bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless we fail to make the turn.

Better stop reading, if this gets any deeper I might be charged as an accessory.
