What are you doing today?

Resting today after driving to Oklahoma City last night to see the last show of the Waterboys North American Tour and then driving back to Tulsa. It was an awesome show. One of the absolute best concerts I have seen recently. Plus it was in a very intimate venue. I noticed that some of their European Tour dates are already sold out and have had to add shows to those stops. I would encourage any fans who ever wanted to see them DO IT. It took an item off my Bucket List, but if they return I will be there.

WOW! I haven't thought about the Waterboys in ages. They were awesome ... so many great bands back in those days: heavyweights like U2 and Simple Minds, then the next wave like The Alarm, The Waterboys, etc...... fantastic!

Today, I went back to the high school I graduated from in 1971. My American Legion Post wants to give a $1,000 scholarship to a Senior that is going to attend a trade school after graduation. I had a nice meeting with the Vice Principle who I learned also served in the Michigan Army National Guard the same time I was in. From the meeting it looks like this will happen.
So much has changed with the building. It has been added to and added to and added to. Still a place of so many memories.

Was at work yesterday and opened the door to this cabinet behind my desk. As I opened it, it completely fell apart. The glass literally slid off my arm and back and landed on the floor. I couldn't' believe that it didn't shatter when it hit me and cause serious injury. The kids were all asking if I was alright. I was in disbelief for some time after.

The guy told me he's never seen something like that before. I am thankful I am unscatched.

Particle board, if it is particle board, always returns to particles - ask how I know - most wood glues only glue to the particles with no penetration therefore more particles give way.

If it's cheap (the school district is all about that), then it most likely is.

This evening GF and I are going to the Kalamazoo Aviation Museum (Air Zoo) to greet the retuning Veterans from a Talon flight to Washington DC to tour the many military memorials. We have done this a few times in the past and it is quite fun to do. They have earned a celebration for their service and sacrifice.

Instead of an armchair modeler, you can be a couch potato modeler!

Freelance work in a kitchen, where the food is pretty bad, didn't know places like this still existed.

But they are paying me by the hour so head down, mouth shut !

Sounds like a US Army Chow Hall!

I hope they are paying you very well then!

Doing some yard work. 63F for a high thanks to global warming. Why I remember as a boy trudging to and from school by now through 3 feet of snow, uphill both ways.

 

[Viking1066]

Finished a very hard assignment. It's going to be a long seven weeks yuck.

 

[Viking1066]

Got a 100 point on my first hard assignment. Made my day despite my frustrations with the difficulties of teaching in the afternoon.

Interesting how "Global Warming" only hits in certain areas.
Out here, it's been cold and rainy. Fall has definitely entered the building.

We've had a much warmer than average October. Looks like our first real brush with winter will hit us this weekend with snow on Saturday and freezing temps Sunday.
