Good morning. Frustrating day yesterday getting our wifi provider switched but we got it all done eventually. Not much on the agenda today. Ran into some black-bellied whistling ducks on my bike ride yesterday. It's a bit of a rare siting. Good stuff.



Have a great day folks.

Good morning. It’s 60° headed for a high of 80. Today we will walk around in what passes for downtown Flagstaff. This evening, we will have dinner with friends who are also up here on vacation.

Enjoy your day. Wordle in three.

It's a cool overcast morning, I'm hoping the rain stays away. Todd and I will be providing the music for the Firefly Festival this evening.

Good morning.

Warm and a bit more humid this morning in New York. I predict a/c will be activated soon. The girls are going to visit my wife's parents later, leaving me home with two dogs (we're babysitting my son's while he is off for a long weekend of debauchery with friends) and not a lot on the agenda. I'm sure I will find some interesting things to do, such as reading, playing guitar, figuring out a dinner menu, and formulating a plan to deal with the coming apocalypse.

Have a nice day.

Driving down to Bloomington, IL, in a bit, to participate in a benefit concert:



I'm MC from 2:45 to 3:55. And I perform @ 4:15.

A friend and his wife run it for charity. He used to do it up here, but when they retired they moved to Bloomington.

Good morning.

66F-82F mostly sunny.

Nice evening spent on the neighbors deck dining on bowls of dips, pizza bites and fruits with different breads and crackers, sort of a DIY Tapas. Dessert was freshly bake carrot cake. We brought a bottle of the Wollersheim Fume and that was followed by Cherry Bourbon Ricky's.

While dining we had a opossum come strolling by. I do believe our yard clearing yesterday ruined his hunting grounds. That yard went from overgrown mess to almost a normal backyard in about 4 hours. They also cleared all the garden beds around the house and those will get fill with wood chips. They did leave the cats hidey holes under the yews, can't take those out.

Today will be Saturday shop followed by lunch with the MN Guitar Mafia and friends at Yeorg's Brew Pub nearby. Unfortunately for me after wine and Ricky's last night there will be no beer for me just good stout German food.

EDIT: Got our hotel booked for Kauai yesterday but due to the communication problems the airlines are having could not book our flights.

Sheesh, everyone is doing something or going somewhere... but me...

Well, the heck with that. I'm going to do something, too. I think I'll take a little trip out to the eastside Hugo's for milk. Haven't been there in a while. Sometimes they might have something my northside Hugo's doesn't have. Should be a fun trip.

Little known fact: There are five Hugo's grocery stores in Grand Forks, eastside, northside, southside, and two in the middle called middle one and middle two.

Actually, the eastside Hugo's is in East Grand Forks, so that would make four Hugo's in Grand Forks, except that I forgot that new market-style one they just put up downtown, which brings it back to five Hugo's in Grand Forks.
