Scars

January 15th, 2008 | by jg3 |

Lots in here, but I can’t really stop long enough to get a window open to write it down in.

For some reason my head tells me that a laptop will help solve this. But I know it to be a lie: I need to prove the corp. vmware image runs in the osx version of vmware and migrate to the new server first.

I want an easy widget to include a “song of the day” via. hopefully a stream.

Anyway, I was repairing the scars on my and thinking about it and here are a few of those:

  • This deck has been with me since 2004. And it has seen more than its share of whoa.
  • The p-tex candle trick does fill in the gashes, but it requires a pretty healthy sanding the repair is made.
  • Trying to sand it too early is a mistake and will compromise the repair job.
  • The repair requires a lot of heat.
  • If you rush it, you will have to do it over, eventually.
  • After some sanding, the injury will be smoothed over, but the mark will always be visible.  It may not be felt, but it will always be seen.
  • It will never be “what was”
  • Avoiding the rocks is a good way to avoid having to do this.
  • Getting a new deck is a arduous, expensive process and I don’t want to deal with that — I like this (cheap, scratched, imperfect but loved) deck.

It somehow seemed to relate to everything else in my head at the time.
