Leaving Soon :(

[podunklander]

Well my days here are numbered as I am leaving for Ohio in less than a week to go work on an important archaeological excavation. I will be joining a crew who have been working 12 hour days, 6-7 days a week. Staying in a motel room (no roomie) and since I'll be there until the end of Nov...I'll be bringing along some things from home to decorate my room. Maybe even some photos of Gordon and the band :). And I'll bring my guitar along of course.


To everyone planning on the upcoming concerts....have a great time and I'll look forward to reading up on reviews!!!

All my best,
Pam

All the best,

Hi Pammie,

Does this mean I won't be getting those wonderful test messages before my last 5 concerts of this year?

I hope you have a wonderful time. Since you are already used to hard work, I will just say they are lucky to have you. Be well and know that I am thinking of you and missing your posts. :kiss:

Have a great time..don't work too hard!

[Nightingale]

Sounds like a lot of fun even if it is hard work. :)
Hope it all goes well for you Pam. We will be thinking of you and wishing you the best.

Ohio...not that far from me, girl. Watch out for those 'Buckeyes' They can be a
rowdy lot...lol. :)
Hope to hear from you soon.

Good luck & have fun. Have you looked into getting a refurbished laptop ? You can usually get a basic model fairly cheaply. And even Motel 6 has internet connectivity these days either hardwired or wifi. Just a thought but whatever, enjoy your time away !

That sounds like fun/hard work. Have a good time. I wish I could go with you. Don't try to do too much too fast, now, it has been ten years, so don't you be getting any injuries. Hope you find something good. And have a nice time at the next open mic too.

[Borderstone]

Take care PDK! :) Come back soon and don't get in trouble, LOL! :biggrin:

[Yuri]

Have a good trip Pam & stay safe.

Nice link to Nipmuck State Forest & Bigelow Hollow State Park.

Pam...Sounds like you are in for an interesting time. I would love to go on a dig. Have fun and come back soon.

[podunklander]

...old toothbrushes, toothpicks, Q-tips, snakebite kit and a case of Tim Horton's bottled water....that the manager was nice enough to sell to me at almost cost (about .55/bottle). Looks like I head out on the 19th...OSHA training on the 20th.

[jj]

well, sound like a good time to pen some retrospective and/or prospective lyrics...hang tough, kid

[Peter Bro10]

Take care Pam, and good luck in your endeavors!
I, too, will be starting a new gig on Monday.
Do consider BILLW's post from 10-9! It's certainly doable.

Good luck to you too Peter :)!!!! How are you making out with everything else?

[timetraveler]

It would be nice if they would let you tell who it is that you'll be helping them "dig up dirt" on. :) Take care & lots of luck.

[podunklander]

Looks like you kids are stuck with me for a little while longer!!! I'm not heading out until a week from Wednsday :(!!! I'm a bit antsy and filled up this week with everything I need to do to get done. So now I'm having to plan on something to fill the 3 extra days next week!!!Gee...I could have gone to California for 5 days ;) hehe.

Well that's ok I keep finding things to pack and other things I can do, places to go. Wish I could travel more lightly, but I need to bring stuff to make meals too. Important small appliances like my beloved air popcorn popper and coffee maker :). So more time now means I'll find more things to bring!! But I already decided to keep it down to one bin and one suitcase (and my guitar).

Oh and I will have a laptop -my friend is giving me her old one :). I have to go to Massachusetts to get it and didn't think I'd have the time -now I do. It may need a little updating though.

ok...I'll be around here :biggrin:

[podunklander]

Tonight is my last night on corfid and looks like I'll be back sooner than I thought though...mid-November!
I'll be back soon and take care everyone :biggrin:
Pam

[Jesse Joe]

Take care & stay safe Pam. :)

[charlene]

[podunklander]

[Moosedog]

am leaving Vickie in charge with posting in my place here lol and if you are so blessed, she may post some of her hilarious ancedotes and words of wisdom ;) LOL

Pam

LOL, are you kidding?!! I can't post that kind of stuff here. :)

[podunklander]

LOL, are you kidding?!! I can't post that kind of stuff here. :)

oh heck...your stuff's pretty tame :rolleyes: lol

[podunklander]

Just a quick hello..I arrived at my hotel an hour ago and it's beautiful, sunny and mild weather in OH:). Nice drive out here...relatively easy. Good music for traveling -GG II and Harmony...but mostly I was a Rach-head. I LOVE Rachmaninoff's greatest -NY Phil w/Bernstein is the best :biggrin:.

ok well I have my bathingsuit on and where the PC is here is overlooking the hot tub and pool and I can't wait a minute longer! SPLASH!!!! woooohOOOO

[Nightingale]

Hi Pam,
Glad you made it to Ohio safe and sound. :)

I think you are in for a lot of hard work but I hope you can have some fun and good times mixed in there somewhere.

Aren't there any good looking, Indiana Jones type guys diggin' along side you on the treasure hunt?
Or is that just in the movies? :)

Hey, good luck to you. Keep in touch when you can, :)

Pam - (Podunk ;) ) - best of luck in your Ohio assignment . As I am from around there ages 1 - 16 , the first archealogical things that come to mind in Ohio (and I know you can't say for proprietary reasons) are

1. The mysterious "Indian Snake Mounds" - rather, but not completely unique to Ohio, the sepentine mouNds thought to be.....everything oooeeeeeeaaaaooooo lol... i'VE HEARD SOME of the mounds are on private property, most on Pulbic dedicated property. - maybeeeee-
and
2. Mohican State Park - rich with NATIVE american diggs. But thats Public LAND ----nawwww.


I'm an ex- North Olmsted west of Cleveland boy near to more possibilities - Bradley Woods Reservation, and Rocky River Valley formerly Metro-parks ("The Valley" - ring around the Land of Cleves) - now a State-Park ,too - where a certifiable friend of mine - I MEAN a friend of mine certifiably saw a "pie-plate people" -up on the valley rim, the pie-heads known amongst locals to be without-a-doubt aliens :eek: - their heads are made of spinning shiney metal (that quickly rusts in the sink) pie-plates ( you know with the spin around lever to ungrab the crust from the pan) - and their distant galactic cousin the spinning cake-plate head people.....- who obviously thought deeper thoughts. She swears to this day that in the 70's when she saw it - she'd not had a joint... :cool:

Well good luck in the digs - sounds like hard service out there by the hot tun 1! lol...


BORING MAP STUFF EXCEPT MAYBE TO PAM who is cool and probably runs a -( I'll wager a 20" PentaxTotal Station with co-axial EDM--hmm ? )

Hey - if your plumb-bob dies (I can make any conversation about mapping lol) , and/or it sways in the light breeze, I'll loan you my BIG BAD BOB - 2 POUNDS (32OZ) OF PURE Brass (except changeable carbide tip) GEODETIC -grade Plumb bob from the old days of early Geodetic Surveys (Bilby Towers, Tellurometers, Gravimeters), (40-mile observations limited by earth-curvature) and (60 mile observations with a Bilby Tower),. BigBad Bob is resting next to my first Hand Held GPS - now a dinosaur too, but when BIG BAD BOB was working for me, GPS was an $85000 Trimble 3000SX fill-your Motor-Pool Suburban with 3 steel boxes 2ft x 2ft x 10" each. But that, after post-processing, could nail a 1st order controL point down to 5mm +/- 5ppm after considerable a priori post-processing, and will still blow the doors off of the widdle cell-phone GPS autonomous chips that advertise +/- meter (agh=agh-chooooo-bullsh**oooooo) oh man (rubbing nose) 'scuse me lol... those'll put you one street over and 300 ft away from your destination point....but thats one meter within the equally inaccurate map under it on screem - (its the geographic coordinates given are off 200-350 feet) - but nobody cares about those (lat long) anymore....until on a REAL map it takes you too a desperate clamber over a boulder'ed ridge to alleged water .. and its...the nest ridge over..... ohh welll.. lol....
END BORING MAP STUFF LOL

Good luck out there my fellow civil servant - and dig hearty. Remember - "X" never, ever, marks the spot - except in Sicilan Medieval Libraries on the floor tiles with Roman numerals I - XII in a circle, and then the sun shines in and it..... lol c u LATER PAM...PODUNK :biggrin: :clap:
