The best part of waking up ....

 Is the neighbors playing tons of Mexican music! They've been playing all these different tunes, no repeats. It's amazing really. Those guys are keeping the tuba, the accordion, the snare drum, and the trumpet popular. Plus a lot of the singing is genuinely operatic. There's one piece with a nice melody in it, with a clarinet doing a sort of call-and-response thing, that I want to learn because it sounds good and it might charm my neighbors a bit.

I listed 10 things last night then decided to quit on the computer because while I don't get migraines as in the headache part, I do get some of the weird visual effects and I was getting those and felt I should get away from the computer. 

I ended up finding some things to take apart, and was throwing the scrap metal out front for the scavengers at about 7AM and hit the sack. 

Needless to say, I'm not going out busking today. The $24 I made the day before yesterday and the $73 and change I made last night puts me within a few dollars of my "goal" of making $100 a weekend. I've got enough. Otherwise, I'd head down to Sunnyvale or maybe ride down to downtown Campbell. 

Even after spending about $25 on first, two slices of pizza and a can of seltzer for dinner, than then a bag of shrimp because the shrimp they sell there at Whole Foods are the only ones I've come across that have actual flavor, I still have a bit over $50 on hand. Yay me. 

For a day I didn't go anywhere, it was a busy and productive one. I'd wanted to get rid of a junky horrible equipment rack Ken had dragged in here, we'd sold the stuff that came in it long ago and it was not the kind I'd be able to sell on Craig's List. So the plan was, because of course the place was too cluttered up to just roll it out, to take it apart. 

I got partway done then realized I could move some things into the office to take apart, "lose" a few pallets we'd never use, and roll out a couple of mechanical/hydraulic lift things, and roll the rack out, then put the lifts back in. And I did this. It's great having the rack and things gone, and I spent the night taking the things apart, getting some parts to sell.

A busy Friday

 But aren't they always?  I slept in too late to go to Sunnyvale to busk, and didn't really feel up to it anyway.  Last night I took...
