Bridge's School / Fixing Zone 2 / Phone

Tuesday: Woke just after 6:30. Up, shower and so on. Gave myself a needle jab while giving Gus his saline... on the index finger of my left hand. Luckily it didn't interfere with playing. Down basement and brief sitting. MB and I headed out at about 7:35. We stopped for some breakfast at the donut shop and were on our way again by 7:45. I made a bad decision about one route, and took one wrong turn, and we didn't wind up at Bridge's school until 8:45.

Brief sound check. A little time in the green room, and we were on. We played for perhaps 100 children in a smallish auditorium. Dev's guitar gave us some problems at the beginning, but then we settled in. A pretty good set, as far as I could tell. The kids were certainly enthusiastic. Victor lobbed one question about how guitars a built over to me. No comments (cloaked as questions) about candy eggs, this year. We wrapped up around 10.

Headed home. The guy from the plumbing company called on the cell. I said I could stay home longer to make up for the fact that I had to be out in the AM. Back home, cut the Gus monster's nails, and a nap. MB woke me saying someone was at the door. Very confused being half asleep, I thought the guy had come from Apple to fix my laptop. No. Took the fellow below decks and we inspected the patient. He purged the zone, but still no good. So, he headed off to get a replacement pump. I did some drum practice while he was gone. He was soon back, and did the swap, and Eureka, we have heat on the second floor again... and it only set me back $500.

In to work, stopping for gas, driving the long way. Talk with B and Alx about various things, and then finally down to it. Completed my update and house-cleaning, reviewed my changes, and checked this big chunk of work in. Left around 9:30.

Back home, briefly upstairs. MB came home just as I was heading down basement. Had a nice talk with Wnd about her L2 experiences. Hung out with MB a little while she made lunches and a salad. I ate some salad rolled up in a tortilla shell with some cheese. Tea. Back down basement and catching up with my friend Chln. Completing the day.
