Day 106: 4:30 am... apparently now every driveway that crosses the railroad track requires the operator of that huge iron hunk of shit to lean on the air horn to make sure everyone in town is awake... fuck nob. How did we get 2 Mondays this week? Didn't really get back to sleep... didn't really drag my ass out of bed either. It was rather a non constructive morning, I puttered around the kitchen some, cleaning, cooking... video games in the basement... so he has a mic now for his Xbox why does he still need the phone to talk to his friends he is playing the game with... Doh! The only reason I bought it for him was to get our phone back. I give up. After lunch Sidekick stopped by for a coffee. He comes too a stop in the dining room... 'Um, you know there is a squirrel in here?' I'm like ya, I know, but it's a chipmunk... it's Lawson's new pet. Lawson's like, 'I have a new pet? Where is he? Can I pet him?' All I can think is that really depends on how fast you are I guess. The problem was it found the birds food and was making trips into the house to steal the bird food... maybe I should just get it some peanuts or something. Now SideKick has a tendency to bail on me just as the wife gets home... I want to think he is trying to get out of her spot in the driveway but it might be because he's scared of her, there is always that possibility. We put together the new fan for Lawson's room and then Heather an Lawson took some snasuages outside to throw on the BBQ... Baseball equipment was required... the grill has to heat up you know. The new bat got some use... I could hear it crack the ball from inside... hasn't broken yet but he did bring it in to show me the marks on the bat where the colouring from the ball had left marks on it. I think Heather is happy with it... it doesn't have a lot of weight behind it and doesn't carry through like a proper bat so the ball doesn't go very far, kinda what I figured was going to happen if it didn't just hit the ball and break. I grilled up some stuff inside to go with the sausages. We ate... all was good. After dinner we played with instruments... Heather got out her Sax, I tried to figure out the why her music is written one key out... the chords don't match the sax music, apparently the chords have already been changed to play on something else as the sax is one key lower... we tried to get the sax and keyboard working together but it was getting late and brains were not working well, what were before just brief rests in the music when playing solo needed to be stretched out to cover the whole value of the actual rests written in the song so the other parts could be played... meh, we will get back to it later. Lawson stayed up for another Event on his Video game with his friends. Didn't get to sleep until after 10pm... hope he sleeps in.
