7-5-10 Week in Review

Ok...the cliff hanger from last time...Monday rained like crazy and the fireworks were cancelled. I feel like we got jipped!

Tues was small group. Good group. Afterwards had some great conversations with some neighbors about faith, religion, and evangelism. A really positive experience.

iphone 4 arrived on Tuesday. Very nice. It's much faster than the 3G ever was. The screen is awesome, the glass on both sides is great. The upgrade process went very smoothly as well. I haven't tried the others but I'm still quite happy with iphone. Only downside is that it's heavier and can be quite slippery...although it feels great in your hand!

The weekend was full of activity. Washed and waxed the car and truck, finished the landscaping, helped a neighbor build a deck, bike ride with Jodi (no rain this time) and lots of rest and relaxation.

I worked on the new kit. It's coming together. I got most of the placement worked out. Biggest issue right now seems to be micing and some more fine tuning the tuning.

I think God is teaching me a lesson about not always getting my way. Anyhow, he has a plan and that plan is awesome. I just need to go with it.

Grass update - it is rocking. I'm amazed at how far it could go in one year...I guess I owe thanks for all the rain.

Miniature Kit

Sometime I wish by set was smaller but still offered all the sound options...now I just have to figure out how to get my butt on that throne.

6/28/10ish Week in Review

Let's try getting the posting frequency back on track!

OK, so last weekend was Music on the Lawn. I got to admit I was not real excited to tear my drums apart, haul them up and pack them up. I was quite bummed actually. Anyhow Saturday was crazy sunny and hot but the chance or rain was low. Setup went very smoothly. The new cases worked great in their first outdoor gig. They came in very handy for putting equipment on. The gig was really good. While sweltering, we played good. The crowd was pretty decent. I'd say better than average. We got some video but I haven't quite got it sorted out yet on how to get it up on the web.

We crashed at my parents house since my sister was visiting, always good to see the fam.

The week was good. Jodi and I celebrated our 9th anniversary. We headed up north to a restruant that we wanted to try out. It wasn't the best place ever but it did seem to be quite a good value.

On Monday we had a really good group meeting. While the group is small, I'm very excited about it.

I received some confirmation at work. That is always reassuring! On the weekend we headed down to Jodi's parents. We spent lots of time traveling around. Jodi got a new bike and we found out about some possible corruption with the local telephone company....how intriguing!

We came back for what we thought was going to be fireworks. Turned out it rained like crazy on Sunday so they were postponed until Monday...but then Monday is actually next week so I can't really tell you how they came out until the next post!
