Okay, all my bald bros

, and all the lovely lay-days on the boards

...
I will be off line for the forseeable future. The computer and most of my meager worldly possessions are going into a storage unit while I make the move into Portland. While I make this transition, my things go to storage and my drums and I move into my van

.
I'm getting a 24hr gym membership so I have reliable place to shower (gotta keep SLY) and work out. I can sleep in their parking lot part of the time, and in front of a friends place part of the time

.
I'll be putting all of my charm and SLY skills to the test looking for work first (bar tending), then for a room to rent in NE Portland once the finances are rolling steadily again.
I am making this move to be closer to my band (
www.circledbyhounds.com). Also I can teach percussion in a larger city and hopefully pursue some sort of social/romantic life once again

.
I have been living in relative isolation (followed the band here too) on the Oregon coast (town of 200, mostly retirees) for a little over a year now

and am ready to get back out into the world.
I'll check in here as often as I can get on line.
I hope things all fall into place and I can find work and housing in short order, but if not, then I will endeavor to stay as safe and out of trouble as a kilted bald guy living in a van can.
Wish me GOOD luck
