More rain.

 Well, I had a good practice session last night, but the tradeoff was I didn't wake up until 6PM this evening. So, no packing and shipping today. 

I decided to make a 99 Ranch run though, and rode up there leaving here at 8. I got a few things and started to feel a little rain on the way back. I did, however, stop at the laptop repair place and got a large bag worth of padding materials, which I spread out up in the loft to dry when I got back since they got rained on a little. 

Needless to say, no busking tonight. Last night would have been a great night though. Everyone buying flowers and in a cheery mood, even though it was cold enough to make the booth-botherers leave their usual station at Whole Foods, the same place on the sidewalk I'd busk on. 

I'm just not all the way back up to strength yet. This is kind of how things work here, there's a busking season, from April to September, and there's a non-busking season, which is the end of September to the end of March. Of course if I were retired and didn't have to work for Ken any more, then I'd be out busking all year. Sure I'd make less in the "off season" but I'd still be out there. And this doesn't mention that the month of December is a very good one for busking, and there's also New Years' Eve. 

Of course back in Hawaii things would not have this seasonality to them. It's pretty warm and sunny the year around, except when it's raining and even then it's not cold. And tourists come all the year around, with the tourists who come during winter considered a little classier than the summer ones.
