Jul. 7th, 2008 10:32 pmSkipping entirely too many LJ posts, but I can't stay here all night.
Done this 4-day weekend (holiday + extra vacation day) --
6 hrs. yardwork (by which I mean gardening; I like the phrase yardwork more) by myself on Sat.
5.5 hours yardwork on Sun. with my 2 guys also working; so, 22.5 hours of yardwork over the weekend. Yay! It is starting to look like A Garden, after years of digging manure into the rock and clay and way too much water this year. It looks pretty nice, if I do say so myself.
Epsom salt baths are MAGIC. They really help with Gardening Ache.
ATT fixed the phone jack that died inexplicably. Confirmed that the DSL line can be activated by phone call alone. More incentive to get a home computer!
Two parties on 4th of July: both fun: both with lots and lots of live music - mucho prof. fiddlers (like, 4 or 5) + accordian + banjo + sax + guitar in Berkeley, and 2 amateur & 1 prof. guitarist at Marin party.
Marin County Fair on Thurs. with many (but not all) errands completed en route to the Fair. I also located the Secret Spot where one can park a car IN SHADE and then get out fast, avoiding the hour-ish nightmare snarl from the Civic Center that usually mars the end of the Fair. At fair: STEEL PULSE!! whoot!! And fireworks over the Lagoon. I was fretting about what would happen to the many ducks and geese on the Lagoon, but realized quickly that the organizers deliberately set the opening salvo so as to have no possibility of hurting them, and observed that they flapped immediately into the cover of the cattails at the marshy side to hide during the display.
Ran into L&K with R&J in the Home Arts section. Met up with G for the music & fireworks.
Good stuff: Entourage. It isn't great, but I'm hooked and can't wait to see what the boys are going to do next. But, EVERY VIDEO STORE IN MARIN has Season 3, first disk, checked out. Grrr. Plus, they all have, like, 5 copies of Disks 2 and 3, and 2 copies of Disk 1. The heck? So! I rented The Flight of the Conchords, which is terrific. They are so droll and the music is great.
