Bare metal

Wednesday: The phone rang, back to sleep. Woke around 10. Email. Cats. Shower. Down basement, and some drums. Packed guitar into the car, and headed out. Remembered I needed to start a laundry, so back in and did that. The usual dry cleaner's was closed, so dropped a couple things off at the one on the top of the hill. Over in to work, quite a lovely day out. Coffee and a muffin. Most of the day was spent researching how to make UI widgets work "on the bare metal" of OS X. Got a little test application doing all the stuff I needed to do by the end of the day. Lunch at my desk. More coffee, finally achieving sufficient caffeination. Met Shawn at 7:30, and drove to Arlington. A good rehearsal. More work on Third Relation. A friend of Shawn's dropped in and listened. We worked on our "unplugged" set for a surround-sound video shoot that's coming up. Wound up with a New Orleans tinged Moving Force and some Thraking. Dropped Shawn back at this place, and headed home, passing by the Somerville castle. Hello to MB. took out garbage and recycling. Made a sticker saying "Yard waste only" for one of the bins. Emailing and such.
