dd's ddiscounts dduh

I uhh, I guess I listed 10 things last night, practiced a bit (long tones and Oumano Oyako which I sight-read I'd not played it in so long, and it didn't go badly). 

I got up in time to pack 9 small things so I'd not need the trailer. I shot up to the post office and dropped 'em off, then rode up to Capitol Expressway and over to a shopping complex that has along with some small shops, a Dollar Tree and a dd's discounts. Kenny at Whole Foods had said I should check dd's out but it's like a lower-grade Ross and I didn't find anything to buy. 

And it's not for lack of trying. A lady working there was pushing a cart full of empty boxes and when some fell off I helped put them back on, and asked if they have small Ziploc bags. "They're right behind you" she said, and they were, in sandwich size etc. I said I wanted the little ones, "like you put drugs in". She said they don't have those. "How am I supposed to sell my drugs neatly without 'em?", I asked.  I'm sure that lady had a laugh telling her family that one at the end of her day. 

The Dollar Tree was decent though. And it's not a bad ride down from where Dai Thanh market is. 

On my way back I locked the bike up at H Mart and walked over to Ross, and found a pair of sweat pants that looked good. And I remembered that Tuesday is seniors' day so I'd get a discount - making the purchase of the pants possible as they were about $17 with the discount, and the new list price being $40. 

I got back here and tried them on - they fit. So I'm fixed for that and since sweat pants are nearly unknown in Hawaii and I never wore them until I lived on the mainland, I can say I've bought my last sweat pants, probably ever.

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. ...
