New snark thread and I'm in on three. Cool. Today was a rough one for me. I went and worked at my buddies shop for 8 hrs today workin my ass off, in the meantime, been on the phone with a bunch of blast from the past buddies regarding my friend that passed. We bury him tomorrow. Gonna be a terrible funeral. So, the only good news for the day, when I got home I just wanted to be left alone and do my own thing. I decided to come out to the shop, lock the door, crack a beer, crank the Social Distortion and work on my brassback bowie. Sometimes I think when a mind is in dispair is the best time to do work. It was therapy tonight. Gonna be a hard day tomorrow.

I'm going to wait until page four to comment. Wait :confused:

Todd, that's going to be one sweet blade!
 
Todd, I'm very sorry for the loss, burying someone is never easy. Tomorrow might be a good day to when you get home just spend some time with the family and appreciate the beauty of it.

That Brass back is gorgeous! I definitely am gonna wanna see it at least at Blade.

Thanks Cbear, you'll definately get a chance to handle it at Blade. As far as my buddy, well, its just one of those things. I just turned 40. And I knew and grew up with this guy for the last 38 years. Like I said earlier, there was a little unresolved problems and a little bad blood at the end but the way I figure it that was between me him and God, and now I have to live with it. Tomorrows gonna bring it all to a head. Gonna be a lot of people there I want to see, and a lot of people I don't. Just a sad situation.

Looks like somebody else needed to escape too.

Haha, yeah your right. Our old cat Leo doesn't venture out to often, he's old and kinda set in his ways, but ever since we brought Sophie our pup home, he realizes that hanging with me isn't so bad....... didn't really put much thought in it till you mentioned it Jerry, but yeah, he came out and hung with me tonight, pretty cool if you think about it.

Todd my thoughts are with you for tomorrow. Addiction is a powerful thing.
 
Sorry about your friend, Todd. Even more sorry that he lost control of it and burned bridges along the way.

Hopefully this evening's therapy gave your mind something else to focus on.

It did, it reminded me how much shit I had to do, Lol. Seriously, I'll be O.K. I just wish I could fast forward the next 24 hrs. of my life. I told my wife wife tonight that I just wanna get there and give his Mom and sister a hug and kiss then leave and try my best to close that chapter of my life. But, there's no way in hell its going to go that easily. Maybe I'm being selfish, but there's a lot shits that's gone down over the last 38 years.
 
Good luck tomorrow, Todd. I'm sorry for your loss, more so for the friendship lost as we all gotta get our ticket punched sometime. Shop time is great therapy, 'cause it's going about the business of living your life. Flow, creation, whatever you want to call it. With something tangible (and in this case, beautiful) you can hold in your hands, made by your own hand and the force of life from within. Your heart.
Saying goodbye is never easy, especially with major unresolved shit, but I'm sure you know that. And I'm guessing that as much as you think you don't want to be there tomorrow, you need to be there tomorrow, for yourself as well as your late friend and those he left behind. I have tried to make those occasions a time for introspection and embracing the present moment, not always successfully.
I hope that's not too preachy. Godspeed to you and your friend.

And that bowie is starting to look....yeah, superlatives fail me. Outrageous? Amazing? Something along those lines.
