Digital dilemma and a rare double sighting. Learning about the man, the myth, the legend, Wyatt Earp and eating a very gourmet dinner from Gordon Ramsey. Prepping the drop of Politics. It’s been a wild weekend in more ways than one.
Starting with last Friday night, there was an insane amount of traffic that I have not seen the likes of in quite some time. Certainly not in the previous 7 months. A drive that normally takes an hour, took 2 hours. Ouch.
Dinner
Immediate turnaround to a sushi dinner after all that traffic. Nothing puts a smile on my face like a good sushi dinner along with sake and Sapporo. This particular place loves when my girlfriend and I show up. Mainly because we probably one of the few clients that will drink alcohol with a meal.
They’re so nice to us, they give us free dessert. Along with calling us by name when we arrive. It’s a bit like being Norm when he enters Cheers. Don’t ask me to out the place as they’re already busy all the time.
Digital Meltdown
After dinner I found that my phone wasn’t operating properly. Pick up my iPad, same story. Open my laptop, same story. Uh oh. Cluster has suddenly had a major problem. No clue as to what caused it. That leads to a multi-hour rush to fix things.
Thus if you tripped by my website it was unfortunately down from sometime Friday evening thru Saturday afternoon. Nothing trivial.
Despite that meltdown, it’s obviously back, and fortunately it’s working better than it was prior to the meltdown. As I’m writing this, I’ve finished something of a goal that I set for myself to achieve. I’m now one step away from that.
Musical Things
Coming later this week is the release of Politics. The animated cover art for Apple Music is up. The lovely items that coincide with it are ready and will go active on Friday of this week. This week should also find me getting almost all the way scheduled out with the rest of the album. At least until the first week of December.
The plan for December is to switch gears and make sure I’m helping everyone get into the Holiday Spirit!
End of the Holiday
As Americans may know this past weekend was a holiday weekend known as Labor Day. For me there wasn’t much for traffic and people. Kept things mellow (other than the meltdown) with making a lovely Lamb over Crushed Peas – via a recipe from Gordon Ramsey. Tasty, very tasty.
We took a road trip yesterday. It’s something I like to do from time to time. Pick a random spot on the map and drive there. It’s an incredible way to explore the relatively near world around you and learn more about your state. On our way back I was nearly rear-ended by a truck while I was slowing down on a 2-lane road.
I was attempting to avoid a car that was making a right-hand turn. In the rearview mirror came the grill of what appeared to be a large ass RAM or F-350. After passing the car turning, the truck slowed down a bit and backed off.
less than 2 minutes later a Range Rover came barreling past me, via passing two cars behind the truck, the truck, and myself all in one fell swoop. The truck immediately decided to pass me as well and as he’s positioning back to the right side of the road – his flashing red/blue lights lit up. No alarm, just lights.
Turns out that truck was some undercover UHP or something. Pulled the Range Rover over. I’m happy he didn’t rear-end me.
Heading Home
On the way home, I was fortune to not get caught in traffic. The opposite side of the canyon was backed up farther than I’ve ever seen. Easily 2+ miles for its 2 lanes. Then again coming out of the next town, backed up for roughly 1.5 miles.
Rested, relaxed, and ready. That’s how the rest of this week is going. More music is coming your way.
