Random pic I took of a girl up at Indy. I didn’t have any good shots to post today so I thought I’d just add this one.

I had a very interesting experience at dinner tonight. Someone I considered a friend had a complete change in personality. Unfortunately tonight, we sat in her section after band practice. I can only imagine that she has something going on in her personal life that caused her to have this horrendous attitude but nevertheless, she didn’t get much of a tip from me. Crazy.

My day also didn’t start off all that great. Around 3 this morning, I rolled over only to feel a cramp start in my right calf muscle. Next thing I know, I’m WIDE awake trying to rub my leg and keep it from tightening up. Too late. I’ll tell you what, a cramp there hurts like a MOTHER. About 20 minutes later I could finally move again but I didn’t sleep the rest of the night because I was afraid it would happen again. When I stood up in the morning, it still was hurting so I spent the first hour hobbling around.

Stayed busy at work. Had lunch with Lesa who shared her home plumbing woes with me. She has a rental house that needs all new plumbing. Yikes! She’s now getting a second estimate from the guy who came and fixed my shower. Hopefully the diagnosis will be better… and cheaper.

Had to take Kelsey to the vet today for her annual vaccinations. That’s always an event as getting her in and out of the car is always a major operation. I finally get her in and she just starts shedding like there’s no tomorrow. Great. We get to the vet and get all that stuff taken care of then it’s time to get her back home. More shedding.

Sigh.

The good thing is that she’s all healthy. I’m glad for that.

I’m trying to get something together for this weekend. We’ll see what happens.

Busy at work this morning taking photos and such. Jetted out early though as I had to meet the Cook’s guys at the house for the Sentricon install today. 3 trucks and 3 techs showed up. About an hour later, my house had 25 “stations” installed around it’s perimeter. Cool.

Had a problem with one of my deadbolt locks. I was having to wiggle the key around to get it in. I talked to the locksmith who said all I had to do was spray it with WD-40. Either I could do it or for $80 he would come and do it. Hmmm… Good tip. It worked. The lock works like a champ now. Yesterday when I came home in the pouring rain is when I couldn’t get my key working. I got all nasty trying to get the door open. Finally after about 10 minutes, I managed to get the key working. I was determined not to let that happen again.

Ate dinner with Kyle over at Logan’s. Kyle had some kind of malfunction that left us sitting with no doubt the worst waitress in all of North Alabama. I’m sure he’ll be elaborating on his blog. Dinner was jacked up. I ordered a burger with no onions, done medium. I get a burger with onions done well. Sigh.

A little core drilling action from the pest control guys installing my Sentricon termite stations.

The #20 Car in Bill’s garage being worked on this afternoon. Must be kinda cool to walk into your garage and have a REAL NASCAR racer in there.

Sticky day out today. Sheesh. I felt much better though after a good nights rest so maybe last evening’s funk was just a fluke.

I was over at a supplier’s place today when I guy I knew from WAAAAY back came out to chat with me a bit. In the middle of our conversation he asked me “So where are you in the Word?” At first, I was stunned. Then I sounded like a Beavis and Butthead cartoon with a long drawn out “Uhhhhhhhh…”. This was so out of the blue I wasn’t upset or anything. Well, except for being upset with myself for not reading my Bible regularly as I had in the past. I actually laughed to myself afterwards and made it a point to get back into that.

I also ran into Brian, my friend that has the Home Depot car. He and his family were on the way to Mobile on business. We talked about some photography stuff for his race team before we went our separate ways. Stopped in over at Bill’s place as he was doing service on the car for the next event. There were some minor dings from the Watkins Glen race but nothing that would be too hard to fix.

I spent some time working on my photo portfolios this evening and had to make a run over to Hobby Lobby to get a small album for my 5×7 prints. Hit New China for dinner on the way home then ended up running into Eric over at BAM where his girls were playing chess. I toted my food over there and ate at the counter while talking to E and Jeff. Good times. A little drumming and a little Battlefield 2 and I’m off to dreamland.

Tomorrow should be busy. I’ve got a photo shoot at 1:30 then I have to meet the guys from the pest control place as they install my Sentricon termite protection stuff. I’ll take pictures.

Okay, for some unknown reason this afternoon, I’ve just kind of been bummed out. I can’t put my finger on just why, which seems strange to me. Is this yet another thing that getting older has in store for me? Sheesh.

Despite how I feel, the weekend has really been a good one. I got a chance to do some work behind the camera, eat at my favorite restaurant, spend time with good friends, rest at home and play drums. Oh well.

I think I’ll tinker around a little before doing some reading and then go to bed. That would probably be the best thing to do. Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow.

I’ve decided that I don’t need a second in-ear monitor system so I’m going to sell one. It’s a Shure PSM 400 wireless system that includes the P4T transmitter, P4R receiver and P4M mixer. Also included are the brackets that connect the transmitter and mixer together in one portable package. It’s exactly like this on the Musician’s Friend site but does not include earphones. You will have to supply your own. Leave me a comment if you are interested. I’ll probably put it up on eBay in a few days but I thought I’d give anyone that follows my bLog a shot at it first. It’s in pristine condition and I have the origial boxes for it all except for the mixer. I was looking to get $750 for it.
