Good morning class. It seems that your auto shop teacher Mr. Bondolli is off on another bender, so I'll be your substitute again. This time if I catch anyone sneaking off to woodshop to make a hash pipe or a baseball bat with nails sticking out of it or whatever it'll be straight to the principal, got it? Very well. Now then, Mr. Bondolli's notes...

Alright, I was sick of my rant from the last brief journal entry already. New rant: Bought one of these
and one of these. The servo took 2 1/2 weeks to get here. They said they were sent the unanodized ones by mistake, but they didn't bother to ask me whether I cared, which I wouldn't have. So I waited for them to get...

I'm a bit sad. I just got done working at Overton Beach Marina for the last time. If any other marina on the lake were closing down it wouldn't bother me nearly as much. Over the last ten or so years the owner, management & employees put everything they had into making it the best marina on the lake. Rebuilt the place from scratch, everything...

Still extra busy at work, blah blah blah.
Today I overheard a conversation with this gem:

Adolescent girl 1: "She said galavanting? You were 'out galavanting around'? What the hell does galavanting even mean?"

Adolescent girl 2: "Galavanting is when you go have fun and some old person stays home and complains about it."

Super busy here, two marinas are moving due to dropping lake level. I've got something like 40 hoists to move before Feb. 1st. One a day is about the average depending on the particular situation. So probably 20 people will be very angry with me at the end of the month. Both the National Park Service and the marinas would have known this would be...

Forecast: Mostly tension and anxiety, 30% chance of disaster.

Opened up two entertaining pieces of mail today. The first was from the factory that produces the boat lifts we sell. Among other updates was this bright and cheery sentence: "We are pleased to announce the smallest price increase in our company's history" Oh really? I'm glad we're pleased, I hope our customers find it pleasurable as well. Plenty of years we've gotten no price...

Yeah, so fuck the new year. I resolve to stop being so goddamn happy and positive this year.

Just kiddin.
Whoa, Colorado was awesome, I've been home for a while now. I left just as blizzard2 was rolling in, my legs were shot & I pulled a back muscle pretty good. I didn't trust myself to stay off the board with fresh snow piling up,...

It's a dance party! With Gary U.S.Bonds!

Merry Christmas everybody! I'm having an awesome time snowboarding in Steamboat. I missed a huge storm's snow by a couple days, which is hardly something to complain about, but still counts as a minor bummer. 14" of fresh powder was mostly used up by Saturday, but there was still some leftovers to be found in the trees & other less obvious spots. The next evening...
