Sunday and a story for chaos

Hey Chaos whats the "bar" like
where your beau hangs out at??
is it like Moe Sizlaks from Simpsons

my bar used to be pretty beat up
i had the corner stool and they knew
me well i just drank alone but was
freindly to everyone i drank
double black russians and Kokanee
beer all night until they asked me
kindly to leave this usually only
happened at the beginning of every
month when my cheque came in
and i could afford to spend the
one hundred and twenty dollars
during all of that time

i loved the live bands and the pretty
girls and the bartender
bartendresses

now the place is totally swanked out
and is very nice
Lori and i went there one night for
dinner and it was pleasant as hell

today was great i slept all day away
woke up at five this evening
went out to the reserve on the bike
to pick up smokes its just across
that bridge and in this little trailer
thirty dollars for a pack of Golden
Leaf king size the ride over was
beatufiul cool and windy and the
trees are full of wind and they
are starting to change colour
i could see the lake in spots
from the hill on the way there
and coming back got to see the
city as i cycled on main west

it was hard work and my poor ol
heart was beating fast and my
lungs were wheezing away but i
feel great now after that workout

then i went and got Lori a coffee
from the Macs store and then came
and got Ladyfreind from downstairs
one too

it was a nice drive there and back

work tommorrow again

i make the plaster moulds of feet
for arch supports that go into peoples
shoes to help stablize them when
they walk and i make leg or arm
plaster moulds for plastic braces
that Peter and Dan make or Karen

i modify the plaster build it up
on spots and mould it by sanding
or a grating tool adding plaster
etc until the desired shape is
finished this greatly frees up
the time spent by the technitians
to focus on moulding new forms
for me to fill in the plaster room
they just put the moulds in the
sand box and explain to me a bit
and then i do my thing
work my craft that they have taught
me over the seven months that i
have been there

i think that being an artist and
having some sculpting background
has definately helped me in creating
the plaster peices

they are all so happy that i can
do this fast now and that basically
i can follow their directions
and make the plaster casts come
out very good so the braces and
supports turn out good for the people
who are coming in for our help

but i get to help out in making
the forms sometimes and Dan or Peter
or Karen always have time to explain
to me the many many phases that are
done to each brace as it is being
created crafted machined and put
together and eventually adjusted
to custom fit each new person

and i get to do the maintenance
of machines with my shop vacum
or just tidying up outside and
inside

its very cool and even i watch
shows on prothetics when a program
comes on every now and then
when i am flipping around watching
the television

anyway must be going now
more television watching

until again

..O..
