The Weekend is Over

The Hoodoo Hounds played to a mostly empty bar on Friday night. Unfortunately it was stormy and the rain kept the people away. They played for the door at $5 a head, and the band made a total of $45 - just enough to cover the bar tab. They ended up shutting down early and we were home by 2:00am. Here is a song and here is another. The singer's 12 year old son is playing the bass since their normal bassist couldn't make it that night. He wasn't too bad and he is very mature for a 12 year old.

On Saturday we went shopping for bookshelves and I bought 3. I have put the first one together and have the other 2 remaining. The first one is now our "sailing bookshelf" and I placed it in the entryway. The other 2 will go into our bedroom and I will use them for knitting and sewing stuff for now. Today we went to the sailboat and gave it a really good cleaning. There was a ton of grime on it, but it sure looks great now. There wasn't any wind so we read some books while hanging out in the slip, and Andrew went swimming to cool off. There were lots of Canada geese hanging around and they sure do like to honk at each other.

The daylilies and russian sage are blooming by the mailbox now and they make everything nice and colorful. Looks like yet another thunderstorm is on its way right now. Even with all the rain of late the lake level is still not coming up. Andrew got an email from the Corps the other day and apparently they are changing their drought response, which means they will be dumping less water through the dam, and that means we just might be able to canoe this summer.
