Nice and chilly this morning

Great lightning show and some rain last night

Went and heard some live music last night. Solo acoustic player. He did some country but also mixed in some other stuff he had worked up. I've heard a couple of these done by solo acoustic artists before but not all

TLC - that song about chasing waterfalls
Creep
Comfortably Numb
Some Alice In Chains
Uncle Lucious
Cranberries
Wind Cries Mary by Hendrix

It was fun. And the venue is great

Need to find some breakfast. We are out of eggs

Chores today and some work

Up early for desayuno por supuesto con cafe.
Vuelo at noon a Mexico City.
My Espanol gringuesa is exhausted.

Chilly in East Tennessee as well. Decent amount of wind and rain last night. One our neighbor's red oaks, about 8 feet in circumference, snapped in half about 20 feet above the ground.

Geez!

I hope it didn't hit anything!

It didn't. The neighbor lives on acreage and the tree was about 200 feet from her house. The way it broke tells me it might have been a bit more than straight line wind tho.

39F this morning. Sunny day and will warm to the upper 60s. Going to have Benny open the windows when he gets back from the gym.

My upper body, thighs, and the palms of my hands are all really sore. Two days spent compensating for my hurt right knee. There are two flights of stairs between my car and me, and I climbed those stairs three times yesterday. Have an appointment to see a sports medicine doctor tomorrow morning.

Watching the Aggies play at LSU. Will we have enough pitching to sweep? We got a win Friday night without using Sims or Freshcorn. That *really* impressed me. If we can develop even average pitching, we have the hitting to contend. Currently up 1-0 in the top of the 2nd.

• Slept decent.
• Was exhausted at 8:19PM. Took Tylenol PM just for the extra ummphh to sleep and guess what - not tired anymore and was awake til after 10:30PM
• Whataburger Diet Coke (out at the house)
• Church
• Travel work (2 hours)
• Taking kiddo to get some legos at the Bryan Target
• Some cleaning at the rent house
• More travel work

Do the day.

If you stack two lasagnas, does that make it one?

Took my car in for state inspection and an oil change. They forgot the state inspection. At least they didn't charge me for it.

Got registration renewed for one of the cars yesterday. Took the form the state sent me to the service desk at HEB. Didn't show proof of insurance or anything. And since we don't require state inspection in most counties now, didn't have to show that.

Really surprised they didn't ask for proof of insurance.

I think they profiled me by looking at me and saying "yeah, he carries insurance, he's not a deadbeat".

Just pulled a bunch of vines out of the back deck and deck awning/roof and back porch.

We have dewberries by the deck for the first time ever!

Thank you, bird or bunny that pooped out dewberry seeds by our deck last year!

Ironman Texas recovery watching Aggie Baseball
Son's baseball game later

Were you at the one in the Woodlands?

Yes

I read about the guy that died in the swimming portion. Just awful.

Lady from Brazil

Oh. I thought it was a guy. Sorry.

Was the water pretty cold? Maybe hypothermia?

Nah the water was 77. I heard she was recovering from the flu. She was an experienced athlete though, wasn't her first Ironman.

Man. Thats awful. Wish someone close to her had talked her out of competing. I'm sure she had airfare, hotel, and other expenses already incurred as well as race registration fee. Maybe she felt she needed to do it so she wasn't wasting money.
