Good Morning
74° and grey outside. Not as foggy as yesterday though. Supposed to burn off and make it to the middle 80ās and humid, but low chance of rain. Should be a good day for Kenās party.
Yesterday, I went to the RC club and flew with the rest of the old guys. After that I made some chopped brisket sandwiches with the leftovers from the 4th. Fed my self and some band mates.
After lunch we all went to the hospital over an hour away to see our drummer of over 20 years that suffered a massive stroke after bypass surgery. He is on a ventilator and āunresponsiveā with a bleak prognosis. His wife is ready to pull the plug. That is a choice that I couldnāt imagine being faced with, especially considering that I just played music with him two weeks ago, but does seem appropriate in this case.
After we got back, I reversed my decision to not go meet some old friends at a brewery. I had figured it was a long day, and I would go the next time. After thinking about it, I realized that you never know when itās the last time, so I went.
Today we are playing at a āsummerfestā with a substitute drummer. Fortunately, he has played with us many times in the past and knows our material. Itās always a fun gig, there are two stages, so there is no break in the music as the bands change out. The back line is supplied (drums, amps, etc) so the setup time is minimized as well.
The only downside is that Iāll miss Kenās party.
Not sure what Iāll get into this morning, Amazon brought me a new tube for a pneumatic tired hand truck I pulled out of the shed in last weekās cleanup. Thatās a bite sized chore that Iāll likely get to.
