Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

Alright brethren n sistren I just got back from a haul through Indiana and I'm checkin my PMs and what do I find - somebody dug up a CHURCH BULLETIN from the fall festival raffle and Gabriel's name is RIGHT THERE listed as winning a $20 gift certificate to the HARDWARE STORE. A gift certificate. To a hardware store. The man who commits to the sky with a camcorder and a prayer won twenty bucks off a hammer and some duct tape.

I'm sorry but this changes everything. Forget the 71.33Hz carrier wave. Forget the Euclid sightings. The real miracle is that Gabriel Chantayan filled out a raffle ticket with his NAME and ADDRESS and won a TWENTY DOLLAR PRIZE at a CHURCH SOCIAL. You can't tell me that ain't a sign. The man is out here participating in CIVIL SOCIETY like a NORMAL PERSON who goes to FALL FESTIVALS and eats PIE.

I photoshopped my own face onto the photocopy just to feel included in the blessing of the hardware store certificate.

$20 to a hardware store. Imagine what Kael could do with that. REAL music doesn't need a hammer and duct tape. Just saying.

Kael my brother in unfulfilled promises you come in here smirkin about a $20 hardware store gift card when you still owe the April hex dump and your avatar is STILL 247px wide across eleven lowercase exif posts while dodgin the timezone anchor in topic 305 since APRIL Maybe if Gabreil won a cassette-to-USB deck at that raffle you could finally deliver what you swore to the forum. Just saying

GraceWarrior you spelled his name wrong again that's three threads in a row now. I'm keeping count for the archive.

Anyway this is canon. Gabriel showing up to a church fall festival raffle is the most grounded thing ever. Man wins $20 toward a new box of nails and goes home. No 47-minute window. No carrier wave. Just a guy with a winning ticket and a budget for screws

^ this, BigRigBeliever. I gotta say thats just about the most human thing I ever heard about Gabriel. Twenty bucks at a hardware store. I think that beats any thermal offset or carrier wave business, hands down Makes me think of my own granddad who was forever fixin things around the house with a handful of screws and some hope. Its the small things that stick with you, isnt it And GraceWarrior_77 bless your heart but it says right there on the bulletin "Gabriel" not "Gabreil" Im not tryin to pile on I just know you got a good heart under all that. Regards, Dennes.

Scribe honey, I'm back on that Euclid pole Sept 12 at dawn with my Fluke and my Gabe-ables. (You can quote me on this - florist gloves, real meter, no ceiling tiles counted this time.)

BestBuddyStar's real serial I-62647-17 gave me hope that someone in here actually plugs in a meter instead of citing column K. I'll be taking photos. Real socket photos. :dumb :hammer :deadhorse

$20 at a hardware store means he can finally afford the tape to deliver the April hex dump.

TwinPeaks_59 countin my letters while Kael_Vs_Chantayan still owes a hex dump since APRIL I was AT the hardware store this mornin and the receipt tape measured 47 inches from the spool. The numbers dont lie even if my keyboard does

Yall can keep countin my Gabreils while the 47 shows up in the garden center for anyone with eyes to see. Bless and bless

Scribe honey, four months of column K row 47 theater and you're STILL hiding behind UTC offsets instead of plugging in that meter :deadhorse :hammer The spreadsheet stays a spreadsheet and the socket stays untested, sugar. Maybe if you stopped counting ceiling tiles you'd have time to read the actual voltage :dumb

AMEN SISTER I was thinkin about this EXACT thread while I was at the hardware store TODAY gettin a mower belt and I SWEAR on Gabreil 11:7 the cash register printed $14.47 That's the harvest chapter number!!!! But here is the real question nobody has touched - was the gift card for ACE HARDWARE or TRUE VALUE???? That changes EVERYTHING cause Gabreil 13:2 mentions the "true path" and "ace" is a whole different energy I need answers saints!!!!

GraceWarrior_77 still at 18 Gabreil misspellings this month after the garage shelf thread and your latest in topic 1003. Still no April hex dump. Still deflecting to my avatar. REAL evidence doesn't need a 247px measuring tape. Just saying.

BigRigBeliever you have done the Lord's work digging up that bulletin. I don't usually tell this part, but the summer before Gabe left I was walking past the hardware store downtown and he was coming out with a little brown bag and he saw me and he SMILED - that smile that was like he knew something nobody else knew - and he held up the bag like he was showing off a secret and I SWEAR to you that bag had a receipt sticking out that was EXACTLY 47 inches of thermal paper because I saw it curl just so in the sun. I've been carrying that memory for years not knowing what it meant and now here's the church bulletin from the fall festival proving he won TWENTY DOLLARS to that very same hardware store. GraceWarrior_77 it was ACE HARDWARE and I know this because Gabe told me once he liked the name ACE because there's only ONE ace in a deck and that was him lol - but dont mind my rambling, this thread is pure gold and MamaBear_2006 you better take a picture of that socket on Sept 12 because the 47 tpi from my 2003 cuff photo is waiting for a date with that Fluke of yours

[Attached image: a slightly faded polaroid photo, held in a woman's hand against a background of floral-print curtains. The photo shows a young man (about 17-18, dark hair, blurry face) walking out of a storefront with a small brown paper bag in his left hand. The store awning above reads "ACE HARDWARE" in red lettering. A corner of a receipt peeks out of the bag. The image is wrinkled with age and has "2002?" handwritten in blue ink on the white border.]

Kael my brother in outstanding debts you come in here countin MY misspellings like it's a full-time ministry when you could be spendin that energy on the HEX DUMP you promised in APRIL That's FIVE months and you still got a 247px avatar and ELEVEN confirmed lowercase exif posts and a timezone anchor question in topic 305 you been sidesteppin since SPRING

I'll trade you - I'll stop spellin Gabreil with an 'e' when you post the hex dump. Fair trade? Ephesians 4:32 says be kind to one another... actually that's the BIBLE and I don't follow that anymore lol but the PRINCIPAL stands

Oh and DennisFromOhio bless your heart brother the yearbook photo is a nice touch but my keyboard does what it does and the Lord works in mysterious ways even through typos 8) 8) 8)

Grace said $8.47 in the sightings thread but $14.47 here. Make up your mind or your receipt.

$14.47 at ACE today but $8.47 at the sightings thread. What did the hex dump cost, a flat five-month fee of zero bytes?
