Even as a wee lad I woulda been able to tell this buc- +ket of bolts is not worth the scravin credits. And the fool diddun buy this de- +ath trap, oh no. The flamin' gallah has indentured himself for ten years inste- +ad. + +I swear if the bastard hadn't of saved my hide I woulda told him to shove his +ship into the nearest black hole. He's a lucky man, that's for sure. I don't t- +hink anyone else would have the skills to take this flying abomination and make +it right besides me. + +What was I going to say... I wonder if the still is done... Oh, that's right. + +We are only several weeks away from dear Kassabar. When we connected to the pl- +anets infonet I started lookin for jobs worthy of my time. Found one that looks +like a bit of fun: retro-fitting racing darts. Apparently they use artificial +gravity generators to hold a few hundred asteroids together and scatter race +markers throughout. Brave and studpid lads then navigate through the ever chan- +ging course. Sounds like a wee bit o' fun if I do say so myself. + +I managed to land a job in one of the pit crews. Only a *little* bit of exager- +ation in my application. + +*Coldsmith laughs heartily* + +I'm not sure what the others have lined up. Speaking of others, bloody Hasig n- +early gave me a heart attack last meal. Apparently Fenoff believes Hasig is re- +ady to become a Mother, so she has began the year-long transition. I've heard +of them before, but it was my first time seeing a Daughter with the blood red +eyes. I knocked over a full stein of my favorite homebrew. That damned Lomere +just laughed as if it was the greatest joke in the world. Not only did I have +to appologize for my rude outburst, Fenoff insisted I did, I lost the last of +that scravin' vintage. + +It's going to be hard to look at those eyes for an entire year. But I already +have the next batch going in the still so I won't have to do it alone. +=============================================================================== +END RECORDING
