Rain in June

 Which is fairly common, but it is a summer type storm with hail forecast (although there hasn't been any yet) and warm temperatures. 

I'm glad I got my long ride in yesterday, which was the idea. I was in here all nice and dry and buttoned up while it got wet outside. I sorted out some things and got some big/expensive things selected to list, and put junk outside for the bums. A bum did come along, who had this crazy stack of things on whatever improvised collection of parts he was using for a bike trailer, somehow got the stuff I left out onto this conglomeration, then stashed it away in one hidey-hole by the side of the building and went to tend to *another* Max Max trailer loaded with stuff which I think he stashed behind one of the trash enclosures and then, I think, went to sleep behind there. 

Meanwhile I try to keep things neat out there because it makes it less hospitable to the bums. 

I decided to call it a night eventually, after putting a bunch of stuff away and doing a lot of things, and almost went to bed without practicing but then told myself I'll never get good that way, and practiced. That highest Ro went really well. And my long tones are getting longer, I can tell even without timing them. Then I got something in my throat that made me cough and have to gargle with Listerine and I really did call it a night. 

It was windy and this is the half of the year when all kinds of fibers and crap are coming off of the trees. I'll have to be very serious about wearing a mask outside, not because of covid but because of all the crap in the air. This is something I never had to deal with in Hawaii. Sure, the trees are constantly flowering there, but none of the tree stuff in Hawaii is irritating to me. 

In Hawaii trees tend to put out pods, not airborne seeds. And the air is quite a bit more damp, which probably makes a big difference.

Heavy, man.

 Last night I got the Connstellation cornet out and put the screw for the 1st valve trigger back on, and installed new water key corks too. ...
