Today, It Is Friday




Here today, it is Friday. I have successfully returned back from the state due south.

It was a tough drive. Tougher than many others. I was tired, and my back began to bother me. I’m just not as young as I used to be, this is for sure.

The picture you see is off the loft balcony, just outside the upstairs door. I took about four. This was the best of the lot.

Jamie is arriving tomorrow. She has the summer off from college, and wanted to live here before going back in the fall. I can’t say I blame her.

I have had work the past three days, enjoying the indoors of it all, while it has rained almost consistently since I have been back. While today, on the radio they said Redding would see high 90’s. Indeed, it is a different world here on the Southern Oregon Coast. Again, I really take notice, to the world here, more, somehow.

This Wednesday is grandma’s lunch/mass party hardy. I think she may have ordered the keg already. Keg of wine, though, I think. What this means for me however, is I must clean windows, doors, floors, etc.
I have to set up a few big tables too.

Also, while back, and with more returned items from storage, I have been able to go through a few things. In addition to finding my digital camera, to which you have already been the direct beneficiary of, knowingly or unknowingly, but I have also found many old mix tapes from the early through mid 90’s. I predict these may be a big ticket item some day. Hot stuff.
Found as well, were some good college radio listening. Girl dj stuff Melanie would probably find noteworthy.

Added, is one more computer, three cd players, two turntables and a microphone. Naw, but it sounded good. One turntable, no microphone(s), two receivers, one dual-action tape deck, dvd/cd player, and a pair of 15” Infinity house speakers. I’ve already test fired a few sonic booms. For purely testing purposes only, of course.

With the infusion of various genre tapes, cds, and dvds, I’ve taken the long over due, and very necessary action item of saving the best-of-the-best to mp3 format, and then to the mp3 player.
I’ll be all digital. Musically speaking.

Speaking otherwise, I think that’s it.

More family members are arriving periodically, perhaps even randomly through the course of the current summer, I’m told.

I’ll update if I’m witness to any special goings-on.

Swimming in Summer's Afternoon


As a courtesy update, I am still in California. Finished is Dieter's backyard, and finished is Mutti's backyard. Both turned out well I think.

Yesturday I taxi'ed Mutti to Merced to visit the Langer side of things. We both stayed the night and enjoyed the vacationing neighbors pool and diving board.

Today Nicholas has a swim meet, so we will all caravan there as the support crew. Either tonight or early tomorrow I deliver Mutti back to the people of Lodi.

Then, I head back to San Jose to pick up my wireless mouse (I left at Dieter's house last week) and perhaps to complete a pc design. If the pc thing happens, it may be Wednesday before I retreat back to the serene woods of the Franson Estate.

This is all the news worthy of print.
