Cookies for breakfast

 I didn't practice last night, too tired. 

I woke up in time to ... well ... pack nothing because nothing had sold overnight. Our sales are *that* much in the toilet right now. 

I did some exercises, had coffee etc., then loaded up. The 8 small things that just had to go to the post office, two bags of trash, and a big bag full of about 40 bags of "Milka" chocolate chip cookies. I'd gotten those on Monday, where there were just boxes and boxes of them being thrown out. I'd put them, in boxes, by the trash enclosure here along with other scrap metal type stuff for the bums, and indeed the bums took some. 

But not all so last night I bagged up what was left, 80 or 90 packages, into two large clear bags, easy for a bum to carry on a bike. One bag did disappear overnight, but one was left. So this one went with me. 

I stopped by Tom's and James was out front taking cubicle dividers apart for the metal. I said I'd brought by some cookies so they can have cookies for breakfast. He was like, "OK" because he was deep into his task. 

I rode up to the post office and got rid of the trash and mailed the packages, then came back along my usual route, picking up lots of medicines and stuff from the EMT training place. I also found a box of donuts from a local place, about 10 in there, probably bought this morning by some boss and this was what was left. So I loaded them up too. 

Back to Tom's. I put the donuts on the outdoor table there and ended up hanging out with Tom for a while. He'd smoked some salmon when he was in Alaska and I had a couple good pieces of that, and we caught up on things. I was nice sitting and talking, but James had to be "managed" in his task of re-doing the tiling Tom had inside his place, so there was a lot of bickering between him and Tom. I finally left, saying to Tom it looks like he's busy, and I'll be by again. 

At least I left an almost-full box of "Emergen-C", orange flavor, with Tom for his wife, who's there because she's got covid. 

It's very warm and the AQI's about 130 so kind of hazy.

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. ...
