burritos and surfboards for rob.

last week i told a short story about a cousin of mine who was fighting cancer, rob muller. rob died yesterday in california with his family close at hand. he was a great guy and and, much as i hardly ever saw him due to his living a long way away, i'll miss him. he was one of the good ones.
so have a drink for rob today and maybe have a burrito cal-mex style as well.

see ya rob.

ok, ok! i give...maybe it's not that important...

things went a little better today... i will nver be up to the standards tornack sets on everything, he's a perfectionist, and rightly so...but i just have to give in sometimes...anyhow. i think i was a little more help to him today...
and to marcy who, i think, may have dissed me, maybe not, i don't think so, but um...fuck...anywyas...there's only one reason i or anyone else is here...and it's not because we're making any sort of art..that's fer sure fester...anyhow...for the record...my room is a 9 x 10 foot box, i brought my own coffee macine, no cable and a maid who changes half the stuff every day...maybe.
i need a nap..home soon i hope...but not likely...

enjoy the nature pics...

no descriptions today...just stupid pics to look at..i'm tired..

today wasn't one for the ages

i kinda sucked today.
most things i had anything to do with, kinda went poorly.
i lost some per diem, kinda, cut some wires i shouldn't have, and basically want to get the fuck out of here.
i will not post again until i'm home i think. we're here, all the pictures look the same, and it's not that interesting.

i need a big sleep.

godd night.

my new view and set-up here in asscroft.





go man go.



gitte loves asscrotch.



i'm losin' it.




eric had a little problem with his tire.

cheese is my pal and we set the bombs in motion...

and a happy birthday to corie...happy birthday buddy. topanga when we get home...

dar gets in all set in motion today.



today i woke-up with the startling realization that i was gonna be here, in ashcroft, for another six or seven days...it was like the type of moment of clarity an alcoholic or dug addict must have...good god i'm gonna have a meltdown. i don't know why but maybe it's the fact that we've been working in the neighbourhood of 45 days straight...and now i've resorted to eating anyhting and everyhting put in front of me..i just don't care anymore..sure, i'll do the best job possible, always, but i tell ya the care gland fell off a few weeks ago...and i never bothered picking it up.
i've been eating a lot of cheese...those who know me at all know that's a deal...'nuff said...
we worked a shortish day today. i spent most of my day trying to help corie make bullet hits and crap. me and half-day helped him. i'm not sure i'm that big a help to him but maybe....i am fall less skiled in his area of expertise...but i do what i can...
here are some pics to ponder...the sun came out today for a little while...they're calling for rain tomorrow...good times.

enjoy...

al loves ashcroft.




joel tries to tell steve all about peat moss. steve doesn't give a shit.



mike shows us the way.



grant thinks about the next big shot.



bill made us a head. and an arm. and other stuff...



i'm gonna have a meltdown.



dar and the shriner.




i had a bad angkle for this but we were blowing up martars today...just like they do in africa.

pray for rain....somebody did...

well, it's suppose to be duplicating africa up here..dry, arrid, vast open spaces...did i say dry..? well, it ain't. it has been raining for a couple days now...and it's not suppose to stop for a couple more days. we're fucked..well, i suppose we're not fucked...the production may be a little fucked because of this but...what can ya do? really...grin and bear it, drink a little more in the bar and eat at hungry herbies..
i just had a herbie's veggie burger...i remember having one a few years ago and loving it...it was just as good this time out...i'm gonna have a couple more before i leave here...i've moved into the bear's claw lodge...my window looks out onto highway 97...it's awesome...inspiring really..i'll take a picture and show you the majesty.
this really is a beautiful part of b.c. but it's hard to enjoy when you're working...the boys spent their day up on the bluff while i drove up and down it delivering shitola, running to the office..you know, the regular office bitch shit....
more days of goodness to come...if i wanted to, i could buy a place here for under a hundred grand...sweet.

enjoy the pics...

dan calls his broker from the cliff in ass crotch.



it really is a great place...



al and joel discuss the shots.






ass crotch buffalo..now that could be a song.

up here in ass crotch

ok.. i made it. more details later but once again we're in god's country...and we're gonna destroy it. it was a good drive upo with a little rain and slick roads....which is great when you have a ton of det. cord in the back of your car...good times...

rain on the way here...forshadowing...



my hotel/guest ranch place i stayed last night...they have horses, buffalo, fireplaces, etc....no t.v., no internet, no wake-up calls...





the view from my room...




a stop along the way...



some of the hotels are a little rough...

i'm an uncle!

(this is not the new shum or belke...but i have no pics yet of the little critter so...i stole this off the net...)

well, ok, not really, but i kinda like to think i am....
brent and mina had their baby on the 10th of september-mishi thinks that's the day she had picked in the baby pool...i picked march or may so i was way off....
who would have thought or suspected over ten years ago when i was helping to set-up those two kids that they'd be making babies...? not me...but now they have and i think it's great. i'm proud in a wierd kinda way. i love them and i think they're going to be great parents. and i'm gonna be a great uncle, of sorts. i'll teach him how to blow-up shit, drive fast and talk to girls. and when the time is right, how to give the finger and use swear words effectively.
his name is tai. fuck, i hope that's how you spell it...tai shum-belke, or tai belke shum, or ti shum or tai belke, or tai garnet marc belke-shum...i dunno....he'll be a good kid.

good work kids. i love you.
