Yup...... good ol' Tuesday morning is here. It's not quite half past 6, and the sun is only now beginning to glance a ray or two across the sky. Still, it's impressive though, looking out to the north I can see some amazing colors beginning to tantalize the optical palate.
Nice knowing there's not a days work committed to someone else's end awaiting me.
A quick recap of some happenings.... This weekend past there was a jam session out at Linda's place. In the large full open front garage is where we usually perform. We set up sofas, chairs etc, and make it pretty comfy and all. Musician-wise though, we had 2 guitarists. But there was a set of drums there....*blink-Blink* Anyways, some months ago I was given a drum set. Looked like heck and was barely holding together. But, on a lark I took it, set it up, and started tinkering with it. (Truly amazing what one can find on Youtube, instructional-wise *L*) I toyed with it enough to feel comfortable that I was actually interested in it, and bought a real fine new set. Quite a nice looking set of drums with everything. I worked on those for some 20-40 minutes every other day, and at the jam session walked up there and started playing the set in the garage while the guitar players were going at it. Surprised a few folks and got the "Didn't know you could play drums ?!?! exclamations. I'm not like "wicked good" yet or anything, but I hold my own. Luke asks (in jest mind you) so, could you play those and sing at the same time ? Not knowing, I figured why not ? He set up the mike and then his eyes got buggy when I did. Afterwords he said several times how impressed/surprised/shocked etc. that he was that I could, and how he will come down more often to practice with me (now that we have a drummer) *L*.
More light spreading cross the sky now.... *stares* Really amazing to me thinking that all this is happening and so few are catching it.. Most, if up, are busying themselves around there houses, grabbing coffee, selecting a power tie or doing their hair...not catching the free and unique visual display before me...there for all.
I'm going to Mandurah to purchase a freezer today.. It shall be one of two that I will get within the next year. Then on Thursday, it's off to Perth, "The Big Smoke" as they used to say here, to hit the bulk places with the 25 Kg bags of dry goods.. Beans, lentils, etc... I'mma watching this whole pandemic thing unfold, and I'm thinking that after these two brief outings I'm going to lay low for a while and just keep out here in the boondocks till it blows over. Reccon after Thursday I would have enough food stuffs put up to last me a year or more if needed. Heck I probably have that now already...
I keep this blog pretty light hearted.. Musings mostly and haven't mentioned much on the front that includes world turmoil. But I tell ya' folks.. Do yourselves a favor and put a little away for a needy-day. Be the Ant, not the Grasshopper, cause it wouldn't take much more than this pandemic spreading...or a Truckee's strike, or a financial crunch/upheaval to make food or ability to get it, hard to come by. Store a little water, hit some op shops and buy some candles.. Garage sales are awesome for finding this sort of stuff too. A small camping stove...anything that can continue you and yours creature comforts and keep morale up. We so take for granted a hot meal and clean water that we don't even consider it ever "not" being there for us.
Well, enough about all that.... Hope those folks in Victoria do alright then. Poor state has gotten a whippin' these last months with fires and now this.. God bless 'em.
Welpers....I'm headin' for another cup O' joe. Y'all have a good one, ya' hear ?
