Our city has the oldest, continuously active, all volunteer symphony orchestra in the country. They only perform a couple of times each year but they’re pretty fabulous. Their holiday concert weekend sells out all performances every year and the annual outdoor free concert is always popular.

There’s a performance this week of the MSO with guest musicians from the High School and Middle School performing some original compositions. I’m sorry to miss it but my nephew is in a play that night (one night only) and I can’t miss it (after all I’m his favorite).

Two more rain outs this weekend. The weather actually wasn’t that bad it just happened to rain during our game time on Saturday and then on Sunday it down poured right before, leaving the field unplayable. The players are eager to play tonight. We’re facing the leagues top pitcher. Weather is expected to be “delightful” per accuweather app. Bring it on!

Not sure of my Disagree for/against count and don’t care. It’s just a button and a timesaver if I’m too busy to type, it’s not a referendum on the posters life or lifestyle.

Busy day today. Sadie is off to the Vet this morning for her 6 month wellness check. The buyer of my tractor will be by with a trailer to pick it up, and I'm researching the glass options for the K1. I'm not sure what I'll do with my K3ii at this point. Had a wild thought last night that if I sold it and a few lenses, I have more then enough for a 645Z, but then I wouldn't have a compact carry round camera, and as a hobbyist I really don't need that level of camera.

Prepping to convert my garage into a bedroom/bathroom suite for my mom. She already lives with us but this will give her a bit more privacy and keep us all from getting on each other's nerves. Having 3 generations of women all living in the same house is challenging! Lots of work for me to do to get ready for construction to start mid June. The garage is currently being used as a giant storage area and pool house (in summer) and also is our access point to the attic where I have more stuff in storage. I have a lot of cleaning out to do and it will take up most of my Memorial Day weekend. Not a fan of living with a renovation but have been putting it off for about 5 years and it's now or never!

5.14 hours today and for the week so far.
Figured I'd get a message to go straight down to deliver this drum. But nothing yet.

Today there was a tragedy in Gadsden, AL. A pickup apparently managed to loose control and go through the guard rail on the bridge over the river. Over the last 38 years I've driven over this almost daily. It's not narrow, there's a substantial edge before you get to a large bumper/curb and then a solid guard rail. In all the years it's been there, serious accidents have occurred but no one has ever gone through the guard rail. I likely would have been dead before I hit the water, because it's a long way down. Authorities search for vehicle that drove off bridge over Coosa River

I drive bridges daily, two of which have a long way down into a river and aggressive drivers during rush hour. This is one of my fears, especially as traffic backs up.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary is pissed. He awoke at 5:00 a.m. for his early morning meetings at CSULA ... and it was cancelled. So now what, he has a dozen doughnuts and nowhere to go.

This week begins our Hollywood Bowl season, starting on Friday with Paul Simon. He's really good. We purchased a collapsible, short table for picnicking prior to the festivities. It is far more comfortable to eat on the grounds as opposed to eating in our seats. If you're just having a burger then the seat are okay. But we, like many other attending, make it an eating event, with tablecloths, matching napkins, our stainless steel wine glasses and this year ... metal utensils (keeping plastics out of the ocean). Gary has insulated bags and backpack for keeping the food and beverages at proper temps.

Do. Not. Understand. This. Concept.

...and it's now or never!

If 'never' is an option, why not go with that????

 

[Gary A.]

There are now 11 doughnuts.

For breakfast, Miss Maggie had a scrambled egg with yogurt.

Love that you're taking it to the next level with the switch from plastics! Sounds like it will be a nice kick off to the season. Who else will you see this year?

Well duh, I can think of at least 12 things to do!

Actually having a little remorse. It's a 25hp tractor that's handy as can be. The turning radius is half that of my Kubota, but with a 60" zero turn mower it's not really needed.

Got windows 10 back on the other lappy, and sorted out some close ups of the Mini run.
