once again …

Wow! It’s been almost a month since I blogged last. Almost being less than four days. A lot has happened and I’ve been several places. Since my last post, I’ve worked in: Yountville, Fresno, Arroyo Grande, and Modesto twice. Yountville and Arroyo Grande are install jobs, but Fresno and Modesto were the fun ones.

Fresno was a church Youth Conference. We had to unload and setup in less than three hours. With God’s help and six workers, we actually did it. We had never setup the large sound system in less than eight hours before. The second time in Modesto was for a Prayer conference. Again we setup the large system. Fortunately, we weren’t time crunched. We had it up and running in six hours with no helpers. That included time picking up some lifts that we thought were going to be delivered. So, we are getting pretty fast at setting it up.

While working in Arroyo Grande, I stayed with my parents and was able to attend one of my dad’s performances. He conducted the San Luis Obispo Chamber Orchestra. It sounded awesome and the featured bassoonist was excellent. My grandparents also visited that weekend. So, fun was had by all. The weekend before was spent recouping from a 101.7F fever that I had Friday night. That was the first fever in almost 11 years. I can wait at least that long for another go at it. That was the temp an hour and a half after taking four ibuprofen. I wonder if it was higher earlier.

Today was spent cleaning up my mess in AG and driving home. Tomorrow, I load up a small system and head for the Santa Cruz area. I’m providing sound for Men’s Ministry Retreat. The speakers being brought in are pretty good from what I hear. Hopefully true.

Oh, I saw a tweet from Cali Lewis of GeekBrief.TV that they would be broadcasting the recording live on ustream.tv. I decided to attend since I had nothing else to do and lucked out. I had my domain mentioned because I used her GoDaddy promo code, GB1. If you want to see it, it’s at the end of Episode #248.

Oh, news about my laptop, too. I took it in to get repaired because the USB port on the right side was really messing up and causing problems. They opened it up and found out that there was water damage, which isn’t covered under warranty. Getting it fixed would cost at least the price of getting a new MacBook. Granted, I want the pro, but it’s not worth putting that much money into a 2+ year old laptop. So I’ve got it back and I just have to remember not to use that port. Hopefully it will last for a couple more months.

And that’s it for now. I’ll try to be more regular … why am I saying that? It will or won’t happen regardless.

cheers!
