Hello from Indiana Long way from home Big campus Big union
Long drive to get here Stopped in St. Louis to see Kyle D. Got lost Somewhere after the "over the river" part Before the woods
Chilln, watching Al Franken on the Colbert Report Finally sorting some old emails And some old friends
We had a class on listening yesterday Residential real estate at auction was this morning’s seminar How to write auction proposals was this afternoon The best auction educational program in the world And they’re teaching some wrong concepts Who am I to tell an old, rich auctioneer that he’s wrong?
My first weblog from Vista It was single malt scotch night last night at G’s They had some watered down ashes in a green bottle It tasted like someone captured the smoke from a tire fire Bottled it and distributed it And someone had the dumb-ass idea of importing it from Scottland and calling it… You know….it wasn’t that bad.
Thanks to everyone who came out to Buster’s last weekend I’ve never seen a beer bottle coming at me I’m glad it didn’t hit G
My clutch went out in my truck on the way home It was a lucky weekend I pwned n00bs at poker And three days later my clutch started working again
My first weekend off since November or December Bring me a bottle of wine
Big weekend ahead for G and me Headed to Buster’s G’s bringing a crowd from Manhattan At least that’s what he’s putting out Jim and Mason say "hi"
Bad news, too I had to cancel both Trail Ride and the Goat Bash The Goat Bash is Jim’s fault Trail Ride is Trevor’s fault My friends are all getting married And scheduling their weddings on my show dates

Don’t worry One show left on the books The next shows are secret Shhhhhhhhh………
Rent a DVD that is too scratched and smudged to read Get angry Wipe it on your shirt Try it again Wipe it on your jeans Try it again Clean with Dawn and warm water Dry with ion pump from Raytheon aircraft Notice soap and water residue on disc Try it again Wash it again While it is still wet, run to find an old CD drive in a computer running Vista somewhere Notice drive isn’t plugged in With computer running, hook up ribbon cable Hook up power supply, noticing how it shuts off the computer immediately Hit button on front of computer, noticing how little effect it has Worry that your computer is fried Flip switch on back of computer a few times Hit button on front of computer, noticing how little effect it has Turn switch on back of computer to the I position Turn on computer by pressing button on front Now that the DVD has dried enough to leave water residue, wet it down again Bring it back to computer and insert it into drive Once it spins up to speed, it has ruined your drive, but the DVD is now dry and lacks residue DVD will now play Repeat process with the rest of the DVDs from West Wing’s first season
East on I70 Junction City Mile marker 300 Headed to Salinas, Lord Late for a seminar Mile marker 299 Kansas Auctioneers Association Typing, driving Listening to Ryan Adams There goes Big Dogg’s I wonder what happened to that bar And the owners Mile marker 298 Went to Topeka this morning to meet with the big guns at the Kansas Highway Patrol I think he could tell I was a little under the weather I’m starting to feel better now Mile marker 295
I finally received confirmation on the Buster’s show for Saturday, as well as for February.
I saw some miles last weekend. I left Manhattan after the auction, bound for Sharon and my new Wildcat radial tires. I then drove to Sublette, missing my turn in Plains and ending up near Liberal before realizing I was too close to Oklahoma. I took some pictures in Sublette and headed for Lenora, fighting a dirt road detour somewhere around Garden City. It’s crazy how many different types of landscape exist in a state known for its homogeneity.
Jim and I hit the bar a little too hard on Friday night, fun though it was. We ended up in a 2:30am, knock-down, drag-out argument over Apple’s new Linux-based OS X. We could argue the merits of software compatibility and system functionality, but for some reason we couldn’t figure out how to inflate the air mattress for me.
We had a good show on Saturday, and I’m told the recording is a technical success, though I haven’t heard any of it yet. It was fun playing with Johnny one last time. I hope he doesn’t sell his kit. He’s a damn good guy and a damn good drummer.
We’ll bring the new band back to Lenora in a few months. I’m itching to play again, but my calendar hangs over my head like a cloud.
