So, these long-ass pauses… I am moved into the new place, the unpacking will be slow, since each room needs work and my budgets are tight as ever. I do not yet have wifi in the house, so internet activity is only when I can bare the packing up and trip to a coffeehouse or such… I should have in-house wifi by the end of the month; the delay is part my stubbornness, and part incompetency of Time-Warner. Of course, I insist the heavier burden of blame is on them. Who would argue that…? I will not loose work to wait for some bozo to show up late for installation, especially since I already did that once and he got it all wrong and never scheduled the outdoor pre-bury that he called in while standing in my house….
Stupid Time-Warner…
Moving on to more important things: logging in this afternoon, I discovered a note on Facebook from Jeffers back in Phoenix. Bob De Jardine, longtime owner of Tuff Stuff Leatherware died this Thursday. The shop was closed the previous week, Jeffers said it was taken by the state. It would seem that everyone there preferred pre-made, ill-fitting stuff over custom, hand-made… This whole affair makes me so said.
I should also mention that Bob was my first leather mentor.

On lighter, fluffy topics, the dressing room is the most done in the house; it is crazy-stupid borderline obsessed, and I love it! I will work towards photos tonight or tomorrow. I hope. Also, I plan to document some sartorial projects I have begun; designed to get me spending more time in customized things as opposed to more time out spending…
My best to everyone still reading this, and apologies for my long and growing pauses.
*smooch*
