Sometimes

I get to thinking that this banjo I have here sounds alright, then I really listen to it and hear it's empty broomstick tone and wet paper towel ring, then I wish I hadn't listened deeper... Anyone want a toy that makes banjo noises?

I guess this means I've brushed off my rust and am being limited by this instrument again...I've played banjo less than 10 times in the last 6 months, but about 5 times in the last 3 days and I'm just about back to where I was a year ago, still hoping to get where I was about 10 months ago :)

I'm pretty happy that I'm playing again though, I never would have guessed that all four of the 2009 flat mates would be back together in 20-10 or that Lapsap would be reunited, it's great when things come together

Missing Comments

I've been playing around with the templates thinking that when I changed it to the current one I lost some comments, but it doesn't seem to be the case.  Google's suggestions didn't work and going back to the old one didn't bring them back so, I found this link which seems to explain it.  I guess I need to chill on it for a bit...

Thanks for the reports. I've looked through the most recent reports in this thread and have noticed that a number of comments originally reported as missing are no appearing on your respective blogs.

We're doing some maintenance on our commenting backend which is the reason behind these discrepancies, but soon your comment counts should re-appear on their own. If they haven't within 24 hours though, please let us know.

Thanks for your patience,

The New Season

It's been a busy week,
Monday - Canopy set up and make preparations for the camp on Tuesday that I was coordinating
Tuesday - Big Group welcome with 60 3rd graders and lead a group of 20 kids through biking, sand sculpture, and eco-scavenger hunt
Wednesday - Take down canopy, set up gorge and run a training on it, Irvin set up a Tyrolean traverse
Thursday - Woke up late....turned off alarm and went back to sleep...oops, ran in to work and ran a coasteering training, then ran biking in Mui Wo training in the evening
Friday - Camp was rescheduled so we worked on prep for upcoming camps then I ran a Tree I.D. session
Saturday - really lazy day, but worth it, maybe they should be paying me more with the amount of staff training I'm doing, also made pizza, think I'm getting the hang of it, just need a pizza stone for it to really come out good.

I think I'm waiting tables tomorrow, just over 12 months here and I've been able to completely avoid this until now, that's the deal for getting today off, it's a half day so it shouldn't be too bad.

Next week is:
Mon - Rope practice
Tues - Cheung Chau
Wed - Belay at the abseil
Thurs & Fri - ??

The Lapsap Band has been practising every day in preparation of taking their show on the road in random places across Lantau and Hong Kong. I'll have to get some recordings or video up soon
