Hey, it's Friday!
May. 24th, 2024 03:50 pmthe FCB concert went really well. No real complaints about setup -- a couple of people muttered, but as they were there to help with layout, they were well aware that we did the best we could with the space. It would have been nice had a few more people stayed to help with teardown (J and I got the last of the chairs moved into the choir room sometime around 5pm), but the equipment crew had to take gear back to NFHS 30 minutes away *and* return the truck before 6pm. Then it rained on the way home. J was on his motorcycle, so he got wet. Not as bad as Friday night after the OLC concert when he got soaked to the skin in the downpour.
IT was able to fix my computer -- he had to do a hard reset, but at least he didn't have to wipe it and start over. Theoretically, I will be getting a new-to-me computer within the next couple of months, as the three oldest systems in the office are getting replaced and handed down. (Even the oldest of them is years newer than the one I'm using, so....)
I will really need to pay attention to which sax I take to which rehearsal/gig this summer. The section leader at Farmington has swapped me to tenor for the summer! Ack! (It does make it a little bit easier, as the tenor is about half the size of the bari and is thus *much* easier to transport when I've got a wagon full of infrastructure.)
I was able to get into the garden a little bit this week. I got the white lilac weeded and thinned; and pulled most of the weeds in the flower bed next to the French Lilac; I started to weed around the sand cherry in the doorside garden, but have run into some complications -- that garden is full of alliums, and it's hard to get into it without stepping on plants, and the sandcherry has lots of dead or mostly dead branches on it that poke. I'll need to go out there with pruning shears before I go any deeper. I also pulled a lot of weeds out of the east garden, and you can almost tell! sigh. I think that will be tomorrow's project.
