salt mine report

it's been an interesting week here at the old salt mine. we seem to getting through all the shit, though the hours for the boys deep in the mine shaft are long ones...we really should send a canary down there to see if they're alright.
the chemicals around here right now are hot and heavy..corie, grant and gord are trying their hands at making some plastic-type glass that will fly past camera frame at a high speed and break...not candy glass - we'll leave that to ed and alfonso's but instead a thing called 'smash plastic'..look it up, there's a good youtube video that goes along with it...nice.
the black lung has been going around as well with dan taking much of the week off and me sliding into it slowly and if i'm really lucky i'll be a coughing idiot by morning...and i/we have our second spanish lesson at 9 am so it could make things interesting...have to brush-up on my espanol tonight over dinner...maybe a tamale.
larry went to work at the salt mine yesterday and i'm getting him back tonight...a decent cheque is on its way and i plan to spend it all at whole foods and on shauna - that's just the right thing to do...years ago megan and i decided that if we ever won the 50-50 draw at the canadians baseball game we'd buy chicken wings with it....all of it. what does a few hundred dollars worth of chicken wings look like anyways...maybe a thousand dollars worth.
i'd like to see 'there will be blood' sometime soonish...that's just a stickey note to myself...
so another week down the shitter on this epic saltmine mission with three more to go...the countdown has officially begun. then maybe i'll tell some stories. maybe then the cat will be let out of the bag...not that it's a very big cat...

have a great weekend.
