Thursday

 Imaginative title, I know. 

There's not been much going on. I got things sent off yesterday, came back and cleaned the place up and finished a load of laundry, and almost thought Ken wasn't coming over, but he did. I got my check so that's good. 

Ken also wanted to finally get this big heavy gas compressor thing out of the back of his truck, which he'd had in there for months on end. Maybe something like a year. The thing is, with his style of driving, which involved doing stupid things and increasing the collection of dents on his truck, this compressor, all 300 lbs or so of it, was being bounced around and denting his truck bed from the *inside*. 

So we got that out of there, and after he'd gone and after I'd found and packed a bunch of things, I took the compressor apart and got a bunch of electrical parts off of it, and finally, at around 7AM, put the scraps and the main part with the compressor itself and a bunch of pipes, out for the scroungers. And sure enough, someone came by surprisingly soon and picked it up. 

I might be wrong on the time I put the parts out, because it took some real hours to take that thing apart, and I might have put the parts out at 8 or 9. When it's dark and gloomy and rainy, which it was, it might have felt like 7. 

I'm glad I set my alarm clock because I was really tired, didn't practice, and went to bed. I was very glad to be woken by the alarm at 5 in the afternoon because due to the alarm, I was able to have some coffee and breakfast, and got out of here at 6, with the things I'd packed to go to the post office and Fedex. 

When I got back here I saw something interesting. It seems that the electric company sent someone around to do something with the building next door, the one where the illegal night club operates. It's been pretty quiet there and maybe they've stopped paying their bill.
