Actually, "Grayday" would be more accurate here -- cold, windy, cloudy and a dusting of snow on the ground. I need to make a Trader Joe's run this morning, but after that, I'm staying put.
P.S. Happy birthday to Cheney Coker (Supertramp78) and Dan Brown, as well!

Up and awake. I'm off to the UK on 14 Decemberm, so spent part of the day yesterday doing the mad scramble to adjust and schedule various COVID tests. All good. Let's hope the travel window doens't close completly. I really want ot see Claire graduate from graduate school on the 20th. In the "There is NO Way That's True" file, I changed two tires on the lawn tractor yesterday. John Deere has plastic dust covers on each wheel hub, and one has to heat them up to remove and replace them. I use a set of curved pick tools to tease the edges off and on when the caps are soft. While working the wheel on on one side of the tractor, the wheel on the other side fell off onto the garage floor. Somehow, and I'm NOT lyin', kids, one of the 90 degree pick tools managed to rotate its deadly point from parallel to the garage floor to up-and-down as the tire fell onto it, piercing the sidewall. Now I gotta take the tire off, patch it, and remount it. Do you have ANY idea how much extra profanity that's gonna take??  |

Good morning.
Breakfast and shopping. Then cleaning the basement after finally getting that damn drain working.
Old friend and bandmate John Aguirre passed away Friday due to Covid. John was the best drummer I've ever worked with. His service Friday will have a whole lot of musicians attending.
Wish I could talk to Don.

More bad news. Sorry, Marty.
It's in the 40s and sunny in New York this morning. Rain coming tonight.

Cold, gloomy, sad day. I think I'll make a trip down to the Amanas today, I need to get out, get some fresh air and have a change of scenery.

Good morning. We saw older daughter's new house yesterday. It's nice. We said only complimentary things with one exception. We both tripped on a not-very-visible step down right after you come through the front door. We suggested doing something to alert visitors to that step's existence.
Church this morning, cooking a roast later. Have a good day.

My sympathies Paul, been there. It’s like the small part that drops off your workbench and somehow winds up bouncing into an open drawer in another room.
We had a nice gig in New London yesterday. Wound up with a box of Christmas cookies and got to see Santa Clause who was sitting quite near us. I asked him for total consciousness.
Marty I am sorry about your friend. I am sure the wake will be memorable!

So sorry about you loss of a friend, Marty.
Dreary, chilly, and rainy here. Woke up with a sinus headache. Fun.
It feels like it plans on sticking around, too.
Stay warm & dry.

Cold rain in Pekin Illinois.
My daughter is holding up well to the death of her mother (my ex-wife) on Monday. My son and new daughter-in-law will be joining us today for some lunch and time together before I head back to Homestead later this afternoon.
Too much death bed stuff lately, it is a part of life, but not a part I want at of all at once.

Sun shining and frost on the roof this morning. I am glad I put the raincoat on yesterday and did my little chores. Today it is me, Mr. six string Goodall and Messrs. 6 string Martins. Mr. 12 string Samick tenderized my fingers too much the last few days, so he will be left hanging.

Morning all. Chilly day today but clear for a couple days, then our first real snow of the year. Can’t wait.
Gotta find another gift or 2 for wife and daughter. Son was easy with a substantial gift card to Home Depot.
Have good ones.

Back after a couple nights with daughter #1's family (her kids now 2 and 4). Good times, it all went smoothly. Big changes coming for them--her husband is being seconded to san jose/santa clara, leaving in a month, so last time we'll see him for a while (he's also a cyclist, and we've been out together now and then, but not this time). Daughter and kids will go a couple months later, a move that will supposedly last for 2-5 years.

Hello all. A sad day with the news of Don's passing. The weather here is appropriate. It’s been raining buckets for past hour or two. We leave for home tomorrow, should get into PDX around 7:30 if the plane is on time. Looking forward to seeing the dog and the comfort of our own home. Today is Anita’s birthday, we have reservations at a nice restaurant, but if the weather doesn’t back off a bit we may bail and reschedule at home.

I've just finished an 84 hour work week. Not bad for a senior citizen.

Hello all. A sad day with the news of Don's passing. Mike Mike, unless you have some insider info, I think Don is still with us, but failing. |
