A belated thank you or two.

[livejournal.com profile] docwebster did in fact get his feed running last night, and I hung out in IRC while listening to his show. He played the entire Grateful Dead show from the Henry J. Kaiser on November 7th,m 1987. This was by far the best show I ever attended and as I listened the memories came flooding back. Especially the know-it-all who kept insisting there was no way they would play I Need A Miracle just before the band ripped into it out of the Drums/Space jam. Thanks, Doc, and I look forward to the care package.

Also I got a surprise in the mail - a copy of Madagascar. Thanks Cindy!

Today I'm doing some cleaning, and hopefully getting some writing done.

An amusing moment this morning. I don't normally drive our car; it is mainly Kirsten's, and since I drive for a living I'm more than happy to let her chauffeur me around. But today I needed to run down to the store for a couple of things and laundry quarters, so I drove. Going from an International 4400 flatbed to a Ford Taurus was a bit of an adjustment. I had to remind myself that I don't need to let the battery warm up, and I was really flustered by how low my point of view was - I'm used to looking over cars as I drive. At the store, I automatically reached over to pull the knob that sets the brakes in my truck. Muscle memory is a wonderful thing.

Speaking of Kiri, heard from her a couple of times. She should be at the site now. Hope she'shaving a great time.

Also, lack of a clutch, yes? It's always weird going from my Audi (5 speed) to my Aerostar van (automatic)

Both the truck and our car are automatic transmissions.

Oh right. I keep thinking of old school trucks with a million gears, vs the nifty automagic trucks of today :)
