jennlkSliding Tiles - the major work is done. HandymanDan and his helper showed up today, and we got all the file cabinets in their proper places. It did not take as long as I expected it to -- once HD figured out how to move the fireproof files, it didn't take long at all. I even got all the stuff we took out of cabinets (so we could move them) back in to the cabinets (or into recycling, depending). And I found enough drawer rails so that files aren't falling all over the place. Now it's up to Z to sort his cabinet, and I have to figure out where the stuff that was in the bottom drawers of the Elections cabinet really goes. I then assembled the remainder of the shelf units that I had, and figured out what sizes to get for the rest of the stuff (now that I see what space I have, I need to modify my plan slightly). This weekend, I go find the rest of the shelves. Not tomorrow, as I expect I'll be stiff and creaky tomorrow after all that furniture moving.
Bands vs Weather - is now 3-2. The sponsor cancelled Wednesday evening's gig late. At 4pm, when they decided to go for it, the weather was fine at Belle Isle, even though it was raining hard at my house. Then it started raining at BM's house. Our contact at the sponsor left for Belle Isle about 4:30, and after about 10 minutes of driving in the rain, decided that there was no way we could do an outdoor gig that evening. Even if it stopped raining (which it did), there was a good chance that the performers would outnumber the audience, and that's never any fun; the grounds would still be wet; and while the temperature would be cooler, the relative humidity would be close to 100%, and it's No Fun trying to play a concert in that weather. I was 30 minutes into the 75 minute drive when BM called, so we went to the next roundabout and came home.
