    Default what did you guys do today?

    i went to school...learned more about sub-atomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) and some stuff about ionic molecules. :

    did some more resistant materials coursework, more work on microsoft Excel. Generally the kind of yawn stuff you expect to do at school.

    what about you guys?

    It's tough typing over the bout.

    Sumi,

    You will appreciate this. I did some final tweaks on my 93 Camry, went and got the salvage title removed (had to drive 50 miles without plates) and then got it retitled.

    On the way home I took it up to 95 mph on the back road (thankfully no cow or deer came out of the fields). For not being driven for 3 years she can kick some butt. I wish it was a standard shirt to go with the V6, but stuck with an automatic and trans swap is beyond my talent level.

    Came home, washed and waxed it and threw on the temp plates.

    Getting ready to shower while the Black Heart warms up.

    woke up at 4 am in austin. cursed out loud.

    got up at 5:30, finished packing, checked out of room for cle this week.

    checked weather. 3d week of 100+ temps. dante's inferno. if you live in tx, and it's already over 100 in june, you just suck up july, but DREAD august. pray for the fires to be minimal. hydrate.

    went to conference.

    rode back with boss.

    started docket at 1:45, shiner picked me up around 4.

    played a bunch with maggie, who hasn't left my side since i got home.

    remembered that a dear forum member has a bday coming up, and have to start a thread for him.

    had a beer after learning some theory. had another beer. felt sorry for myself for suffering in the heat this week. had one last one.

    time to go play guitar, then stomp stomp, then bed.

    got up way too early

    spent the day, as i typically do, with ella rose

    had the a/c system cleaned and inspected (it had been leaking and i am not risking 2 seconds of no a/c in florida in july)

    read a little (a book in the pop culture and philosophy series, this one about radiohead)

    played some guitar (including working out a bit more of an original piece which is slowly but surely taking shape)

    watched some tv

    spent plenty of time online, which i am still doing

    Got up. Went to give mum a hand doing the groceries. Was apparently not in a great mood, I cracked it at some ignorant clown who was blocking me in the supermarket. Quite a laugh.

    Went to give the old man a hand to service one of our trucks, got covered in oil and diesel. I'm clostrophobic, I hate being under the trucks! It was far too windy for that...

    Went over to a Luthier's workshop and played a couple of his beautiful instruments while he set my new Warmoth Tele.

    Came home. Played the Warmoth Tele (and am still doing it, after about six hours.)

    Epic stuff.

    Yesterday: Got up around 6:30 and puttered around the Garden for a couple of hours.
    Went into my music room and played along to a couple of the new Downloaded rythm tracks from the King of the blues website. Went grocery shopping with my wife and bougt a new Callaway Driver at Golf Town. Went to the range and hit two large buckets of balls in the 85 degree weather, 8 or 10 of the balls actually went straight out of about 160.
    Came home and had a couple of beers to hydrate, then ate dinner and chilled on the Patio for a few hours nursing 3 or four Tequila Ceasars. Purely for medicinal purposes, for my sore back and even sorer ego. Damn game I hate it.
    Today: Up at 7:00 to get my 68 Camaro ready for a show, heard thunder outside my garage and it was pissing down. Oh well so much for the car show.
    Now wasting time on the computer till it blows over. I guess I will head up to the music room. I think I will break out the 335, haven't played her for a long while.

    I'm currently on holidays in the mountains. Well, got up, had a brilliant breakfast with exotic fruits, went to the pool, played a tennis match then took the lift up 3000 meters and walked down for two hours. Just came back from the Italian dinner evening and am ready to go for the evening disco or maybe I'll go to the sauna or the wellness zone here in the hotel.
