Custom Dye Order #01

Here’s my first custom dye order. It took me about 3 1/2 hours, about an hour and a half longer than I anticipated! Yikes, I might have to raise my prices a bit.

Anyhow, here’s the disc, I’m pretty happy with it. I’m headed off to deliver it as soon as I click “post” on this blog! Hopefully Tim will like the dye job as much as I do!

…in the name of Love.

Meet my new favourite person, “Cute old flagger lady”.  We met COFL somewhere in the middle of nowhere near Mount Shasta on Sunday.  The construction crew was “realigning” the highway, and we happened to miss the previous group of cars by about a hundred meters or so, therefore we were first in line for the next batch.

COFL walked up to the car bending over squinting at our license plate, and we couldn’t figure out why? I decided to roll down my window and try to over hear the conversation she was having over the radio with the flagger on the other side.  THEY WERE PLAYING THE ALPHABET GAME!!!!  My COFL and the other flagger were in heated competition trying to work their way to that infamous “Z”.

Unfortunately, our license plates didn’t help in her quest to find the always elusive, “Q”, but she did let me hold the stop sign for a second, I’ve never felt more honoured in my life!  This was definitely the most fun I’ve ever had being delayed for construction.  Oh, and her cowboy hat, yeah, that’s a hard hat as well!  Awesome!

So this is the “about” section of my blog where I guess I should talk “about” this blog. The focus of this blog is pretty much for me to share whatever I feel like sharing with the world. I’m a somewhat private person, so there’s a lot that I’m not going to put up here, but there is also a part of me that is very public. In the public sector is my love of throwing things and shooting things (discgolf & photography).

Also, before this blog came along I had another one with a couple years worth of posts. That archive can be found here. If you are really interested in stalking me, I’d suggest checking out some of that older stuff. I was a little less careful about what I posted back then. ;)

Welcome,
