the waiting was the best part

didn't do anything special this weekend. mostly just lounged, and got some stuff done around the apartment. i watched the brownies for a change on sunday, and they won! against the falcons, in atlanta. i doubt i will see them this sunday play their HATED long time rival: pittsburgh. i heard jesus hates the steelers also. their superbowl win last year was just to make them fall farther this year. proof in point: they have the same record this year as the browns, 3-6. and if we would (somehow) win sunday, oh my. there would be some major heartache in steeler land. anywho, i doubt i will be back from the leonid shower camping trip that is planned for sat afternoon / night. i have three 'for sures', and some 'possiblies' to boot. i can't wait. the last meteor shower i went to see sucked all the way around. i went to reddington by myself to watch it on may 6th. { NOTE: i usually remember events on and around the birthday of my sister.} i got up late, and only saw 3 meteors before dawn's early light came forth. and the 3 i saw pailed in comparison to the shooting star i saw a couple of weeks later while hanging out at the U of A campus lawn. back to may 6th, i didn't wear enough warm clothing, and it took me seemingly forever to warm up. i literally was chilled to da bone. then i had to be a pond rep for my company for a koi and pond tour. i felt sick all day. hopefully, this time around will be much better. camping, campfires, good company, and some ETOH make a great foursome. throw meteors in the mix, and WOW.

last night i was at the rialto to see the def tones and deadsy. the tones were alright. never really listenned to them too much. deadsy was a dudsy. they had potential, but was beavis would say, they try to hard. there wasn't any flow or smoothness. it was like every member of the band wanted to be numero uno, there was no harmony. there was good stuff, but they wouldn't allow it after too long. weird. i saw two people faint. that was sorta weird too. my buddy was too beat up from hanging out in the front row to go anywhere else afterward, which i was sorta bummed about.

then there was today. today was slightly a bummer day, from the start. i probably was 'sufferring' from a slight case of concertius. so i slept in (till 6:30), checked my e-mails and websites (which is my evening ritual normally), and worked on some work documents on my 'puter. i only had two jobs to go to, both in tubac, the first one scheduled at 13:00. so i finally get to the yard at 10:15. i head out at 11:30. my truck was running beautifully yesterday and on the way down to tubac today after coming back from the shop for the tranny problems it was experiencing last week. it always amazes me how many people one can pass on the highway just doing 5 to 10 over the limit. anywho, i finish my first job. now, my tranny won't shift. i could only do 25 mph max, when i was going down a hill, on a 55 mph road that led back to I-19. so i crept to the exit, and called for a tow. in my hour wait, i eat my lunch, went rock hunting on the nearby hill, and took pics of the beautiful mountainous surroundings. that explains the pics above. i normally do not take my camera to work everyday. usually just when i know i will need it, and on rare occasions i bring it just for the heck of it. today was a latter day. and as for the rocks, which were washed and scrubbed for your viewing pleasure, i swear the one rock is a fossilized bone. it is the one on the RHS above the triangular rock.

damn, it is too late to post a baseball update. lots of good, and bad, stuff going on today baseball-wise. none of which the indians were involved.

tsuki (who is sitting on my lap right now) & i are out!
