232nd day sober. I listed 10 Ebay things last night and practiced a bit over an hour. That is going OK, I want to really work on that 2nd octave up to "high C" and work on a good clear tone through my whole range. Right now the idea is to build a solid technique so when it's warm again and good for busking, or if I need to busk to make a living, I'm not stuck playing the same old things and limited to E in the staff.
The forecast is for rain for the next week. So I'll have to work around that.
There's a zombie minivan, on 4 low tires and the top stacked with the kind of crap zombies collect, including a tire that's not tied down. The inside is full of zombie crap of course. A little zombie car, literally held together with wire, came by and a zombie came out, checked on the zombie van, then drove off. I'm hoping the security guys who patrol through keep these crumbums out of here. (It turns out the bunch of scumsuckers who used to live in the parking lot here have only moved as far as a side street on the other side of Bayshore, so there's always this possibility that they may come back to infest this area.)
Presently a zombie came staggering along, got into the zombie van, and drove off, low tires and all. That van will probably never travel faster than a jogging speed again, if my observations of zombie vehicles are correct. Zombie jalopies are just moved from place to place, slowly as they're generally not very roadworthy, as the zombies constantly fight and form new groups or isolate away from each other.
I packed things to go to FedEx (larger things that are harder to keep dry if necessary) and took those up to FedEx, and treated myself to a burger at 5 Guys on the way back. Might as well enjoy the one dry evening this week - I ate at one of the outdoor tables. I've got a sort of habit going of treating myself to a burger or fried chicken on whatever night Ken is coming by later, but chances are on that day this week, I'll be slinking out into the train and then slinking back as soon as I can to dry off.
They do a pretty good burger though. I always get them with mayo and raw onion. Long ago I used to shoot at a rifle range and after the match we'd always grill burgers and I'd have mine with lots of mayo and a nice slice of raw onion. Hence, the rifle range burger. I put some extra mayo and mustard from packets on mine and it was really good. The chicken place does burgers too and it's a good large patty they give you but the bun is enormous so the first few mouthfuls are nothing but bun, plus it's a single patty and kind of dry. They need to go check out how Five Guys is doing theirs.
