what does ''GEONBABE'' mean?

“Celebration” maybe?

ETA: I was wrong, it means “empty glass” which is fitting for yoko and his IPA inhaling tendencies.

Moar ETA: I just realized you said GEONBABEs, I derped that one big time. I guess I shouldn’t have geonbae’d so hard last night.

Stay away from these, sounds like they have an STD ....

Geonbae means Bottoms Up. For beer, not for GEONBABEs.

Ever lose your Tri-Rag FK2 on the forest floor canopy while hiking with your 3 year old daughter?

Did you find it?

Did you find it?

Yes I did, it took about an hour, but I started losing light and luckily had my work flashlight on me. The Tri-Rag blended with forest floor almost perfectly. The light reflected off the blade and I was able to find it.

I've spent the past couple days figuring out my work space, installing the lift, etc at my new job. Today is my official first day as 'Lead Mechanic', (there's only just me, lol) at The Bike Shack- Sooke's new high end mountain bike shop. The industry is in utter chaos, but if my boss is smart, (he appears to be, he hired me after all, lol) he'll find opportunity in the mess.

I'm excited about it because having enough income coming in to pay the bills takes a ton of pressure off me to make and sell knives and sheaths, which is the feast/famine type situation I've lived for the past 3 years. I'm at the shop two full days a week to start, leaving me with plenty of time in my home shop to make knives and sheaths. All the money from my knife and sheath making can go into tools- instead of groceries- which will make my life easier, and my work more efficient, with higher quality to boot!

After everything that went down with my bike shop, I never thought I'd work in the industry again and I had made peace with that. This job, though, is a unicorn- a good, fair wage, reasonable and flexible hours and I'm valued for the knowledge I've amassed after 30 years in the business. Also, the shop is less than 10 minute bike ride from the trailhead, and a 15 minute ride from my house. There is also a brewery right beside the shop, so when yoko comes for a visit he can stay properly lubricated! GEONBAE!

That's awesome brother

Awesome. Now you can chat with folks who spend $8k+ on a bike. They should spend a minimum of $1500 on a knife to harvest mushrooms or whatever the hell they're into...

Getting married in 18 days. Should I surprise her and rent a tux or wear my work uniform I met her in? The tux might piss her off if a surprise Prolly play it safe and just wear my CPK T, it does make me look kinda buff

Sounds like you are living the dream, Lorien! Things are lining up, serendipitous when the world comes together like that! Great feeling!
