As I write tonight, JC and "the Boyz" (that'd be the Band GLASS, Carl, Jim, Blake and Wokk sitting in for Frank) are downstairs practicing for this weekends gig at the "Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach."
Sunday we thought would be a day of "recovery" and watching the Indy Car race... Well technical difficulties (ours, with the Cable HD TV) compounded that, and made it not all that much fun, and we wound up having to listen to the audio on the Computer live feed. Then we attempted to watch Saturday nights NASCAR race, which JC had Tivo'ed, only to have the timer elapse with 6 laps to go... Oh the frustration.
Following that we dug up 8 or 9 grass "clumps" from a section of his property that the neighbors would be re-landscaping in the next couple of days, yes, it was special grass... Next came the task of re-rigging the canvas screening on the upstairs deck, as both Rain and heavy winds were called for. That became a bigger project than anticipated, but with Franci's help and direction we succeeded in securing the situation. Then we tackled the chore of putting together JC's PLAY LIST (Songs for the two sets to be played on Saturday) book. It took awhile but we finally accomplished that, to everyone's satisfaction.
Yesterday, Monday, we planned out strategy for the week, went and picked up a safe door at one Locksmiths and took it to another, trying to get the time lock removed and combination changed, along with a trip to Sam's Autoland to pick up Credentials for the weekend for the Band. And as we had time to kill along the way, we just had to stop at the largest Asian market in the South Bay area for a little snack. Tomorrow, Wednesday we go down to Long Beach to move in the Band equipment and JC and I will pick-up our All access Credentials while we're down there. Now, just so you know, it most likely will be a couple days before I can get to the weekend Race update, so please bear with me. It's going to be a few long and busy days.
