She went to the Dr. yesterday to see about getting LASIK.
The pins should be here tomorrow. When do you think you'll be able to do the mods? Where would you do it? I could come over someday while she's at work and we could work on them.

man, i won't have time for a bit (3 weeks, maybe). like i said, i'm gone this weekend for 5 days, then I have to build that racecar. So, it'll be a bit. Maybe we can work on them somehow after I get home.
Got a lot on my plate, though.

She wouldn't probably be able to have the laser surgery. She'd have to have a different one because of the way her eyes are.

Get eatin'. :D
This is a great opportunity for you to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time! :wink:

Still under laser surgery, but its PRK instead of Lasik. That's where they reshape the surface instead of cutting a flap. :shudder: I get the hebly-jeblies when I think about someone cutting my eye balls.
Oh another note they dialated my pupils to the size of sausers, stayed like that all day. Couldn't focus on stuff close....I was wanting bifocals!
Anyway Brent, post pics of the car if you can, sounds like a super cool project.

I'll try and get some good pictures of it when it's done. It should look pretty neat. The sidepods that we're working on right now are going to be naked carbon fiber and will contain all the carbon ducting that we designed and built. It's nice to teach these guys on the team about how to use this stuff, and i'm learning a lot myself, too (about how to teach, as well as how to build!). We really face a lot of challenges because we don't have the funding to get the proper equipment, so we have to improvise so much - it really works the grey matter. I will be really happy to post some of the images when we're done. I'm proud of all the work that myself and the team has done.

yeah, man. that's me. is life always this hectic??? i presume it doesn't get any easier.

In reply to: That was before I learned the ways of the darkside though. Warm winters,.....no thank you. Calgary should be nice, only a 7 month or so off season.
I'm tellin yer man, it's still ice season here. A 5 month off season is all you have to endure.
I still have to get out to Professor Falls this winter, and that's in Banff. There's even more ice up on the Icefields Parkway, even if some has fallen down.... well quite a bit. The weeping wall isn't in anymore unless you're crazy.
And you might be a Brent_E if you talk about building cars on a rockclimbing website.

And as for a 7 month off season... only if you're a wuss. Climbing starts in October albeit sketchy and although it's pretty warm right now (warm enough for rock) when it chills out again, I'm off for more ice. I was on rock at Easter, and ice again last week. I'm tellin yer man, it's still ice season here. A 5 month off season is all you have to endure.
Hmmm.
If you want to stretch your imagination, we'll be drytooling here all summer long. I've actually been spending more time drytooling on the home wall than I have been using it for bouldering. :lol:
It will be nice to get on some ice next winter though.

Did I tell you about the steinpull I made on the wall? So far it is holding up really well. I've been really cranking on it too.
I have one set of the pins now. The other is on back order for a few more days.
That new TCU is pretty sweet too.

yeah, i know! they look great. and are lighter, too (although it doesn't really matter to me).
I have to get to mec. need a couple more racking + rope end biners (thanks again for the ones you and Rebecca gave me) and some slings. I'm thinking i'm going to get those nifty onsite supertiny slings. they're like the mammut but not as nice (but cheaper).

Is that a threat to eventually go climbing or are you buying early for your X-mas decorating?

Brent, I'm worried about you. I don't want you to fish, steinpull, or hang out with your dad this weekend. You need to get out and climb.
Oh, and no drytooling either. Real climbering. Yeah.

Can he do 12oz (or 355ml) steinpulls with his dad this weekend?

Hey now, those are organically grown fruits, flakes and nuts. And naturally, I would expect any self respecting canadians to engage in 355ml steinpulls, but that is compatible with a day of climbing.
Is anything real in California? Well, I'm really 30 miles from some fun choss, and really less than 4 hours from a little spot called yosemite.
Who do you think invented 'keepin' it real?' :robert:

Phew... I'm no Brent_E. :D At least I got out Saturday before the rain closed down Sunday.
Now while that may be believable - here is the big lie that nobody will believe.......
I left the rack in the car and lead sport routes up to 5.10b.... with roofs. :roll:
