OK, so I'm back. I like this place far too much and I was given a sweet offer to stay - so, Matt's ratio is going to be back up to almost even. 
My buddy, Shane, called me Saturday morning and asked me if I was busy. It seems that he found a new Dodge 1-ton dually (What I call the Sherman Tank edition) for $14k off. The kicker? It was in Portland. So, off we went - and made a day of it. Now, I love driving - even with no destination in mind - and I always try to help out friends in need. However, in this case I was even more willing to give him a hand - see, Friday he comes running into my office squealing about spewing jibberish.. It seems that he was given three tickets to Tool at the Gorge on Sunday.. He gave me one of the tickets and also offered to drive - IN THE NEW TANK of a truck!
The concert was brilliant except for one thing: the opening band. They were absolutely terrible! It sounded like a garage band that was jamming on stage - they really has no business being there imho.. Tool, to me, is like Rush. They are so incredibly in-tune with each other and all individually so "precision oriented" that watching them is like watching a well-oiled, perfect machine. If you ever have the chance to see them live (and if you're interested in the technical side of things) - don't hesitate for a second.

Anyway, it's good to have you back. I knew you didn't have it in you to stay away.
