this date has been so delightful in the rigging department,Sladek is the rigger and I check my rigging but I haven't had to guy out my rigging but on set up day!
Averting catastrophe
A bunch of different people driving down the highway to work in far away lands always seem to converge along the way.
That always amazes me
When you are driving down the highway and hear weird noises I believe you should put an end to the noise. Tada , case closed..
I drive into a truck stop , my skin gets ripped off and these amazing mechanics fix it, on the spot!
there is a big truck repair facility in the North Pole of Iowa along exit 23 or 28 off of I-29 called Gillways or something like that and they are amazing and you drive your whole truck and trailer into the shop and they fix things lickity split
Jake Conover
Jake Conover stopped by the other day to pick up some web casings I had dyed.
A web is the covered rope we climb up to do aerial artistry.
This is a frustrating time consuming job, it is not even worth describing in detail... I liken it to peeling grapes and not eating them or changing a tire in the mud.In short dying something stiff and big in scalding hot water that turns everything thing black and is tricky to manipulate.This material is like fire hose. It is a rewarding job, so I won't gripe another second !
Web casings is inconsequential, Jake is worth writing about. This man loves life, he loves everything about the circus. From the trucks, he has a very cool Ford 650 , to the bull tubs to the lights . he digs it all.
When Jake talks about his travels, his eyes light up . I think Jake views a successful journey as a brilliant multi functional puzzle with pieces perfectly fitting together. His journeys involve delivering his wonderful rigging and props to negotiating deals, visiting shows and show people.
Jake and Mary and family have helped me by supplying me with the rigging I need to do my job for many years !!

I love getting adjusted
I have the most excellent chiropractor ever. Except I always get a little crazy when I have my neck adjusted.The whole family goes to see Dr. Joe, Fresia takes pictures and laughs at me, Marshall is a good boy and doesn't put up a fuss. I ,however , start laughing hysterically and say , "wait, wait ! " I make a lot of noise and kind of a scene but I always feel amazing afterwards.
