Most companies used to not give me the time of day...

When you inquire to companies about commercial materials and process they tend to not even bother to respond if you're e-mailing from your ol' private e-mail.. and even then some really want to talk to you on the phone.. or fax stuff..

Soooooo to get responses and samples from companies for my snowboard project ( for now at least ) and well I buy stuff also!


I have a businessey sounding website with a few e-mails. I put up a simple page that says coming soon with the name and some graphics. Then I have an 800 number that e-mails me the voicemail and faxes I get..

Here is a semi-typical e-mail I get.. and you can see what kinda stuff is going on in my head kinda.. :

"Yes it is possible for us to coat 52100 material. The main consideration
when working with 52100 is the last tempering temperature. The lowest
temperature at which we can coat is 575F. Can these components
handle this temperature? Regarding the attached sketch you sent me it
is not clear how we would hold the part during the coating process. Can
you please give me a phone number that I can use to contact you for
further discussion?"

3 MILES :O

ACHIEVED :D
Today I went for a run and managed to run the farthest I've ever ran :D three miles without stopping. Feel really good about it and not very sore either (besides hurt knee). In other news uh the night before my ugh friend stalker person from this post ran into me again. She/it remembered my name and I'm siding more that it's an actual woman.. maybe now. They tried to talk to me and grabbed my arm but I told them I had to get home and they walked behind me for a bit (creepy D:) and I walked down a street that doesn't go towards my house. :\

Exercise and then wat

So tonight I go on a walk up around some hills for some exercise since my knee is hurt a bit and I can't manage to really run. I walk for a bit listening to my music up and around and decide to take a different route to walk. As I'm walking I walk by a lady and say hi as is usual where that a lot of people are out at night. So I keep walking and start making my way back to the house and run into the same lady again.
I say hi and I barely hear her over my music say something more then hi. So I take an earphone out and she introduces herself and shakes my hand. They're 40ish or so years old and I say they now because now since I'm right in front of them I'm really not sure if I'm talking to a woman that just isn't very pretty or a what used to be a man. They're voice really doesn't hint at it either and as they talk about where they live and ask me where I do (and I'm vague as hell). I keep wondering as they're talking and try my best to act nice but not interested as they look me up and down very obviously a few times. They stop talking and I tell them it was nice to meet them and continue on my way a bit creeped out.

andddddd I was at this show :D right up in the front.. but you wont see me :[
