it's been a while ...
my truck ...
it's still drive-able .... just not pretty anymore. I went to court yesterday, to fight the ticket. Judge said to scheduale a Hearing, while the Courts put out a summons to have the other driver come in, to present her side of the case. I already had to turn down 3 different gigs this week, which all conflicted with yesterday ... I just paid the damn ticket of $120 ...
I could have gone through with it, but seeing as how neither of us had "Collision Coverage", it would have just costed more $ to fight it, and I'm not sure what my work schedual would be like when that date happens ... I will just deal with it. It's an 88 Toyota truck, that I paid $700 for ... as long as Inspections in September don't call it "totalled", because of a bent frame, it will be just fine. If they do claim it so ... I will get it plated in Idaho, at my family's address
meanwhile, ... I am still puttering around on it, making it ready for going camping this summer.
Christy isn't the camping/outdoors type ... to her, nature is best viewed through a window. So, she has granted me permission to go anytime I wish too!
Fog Lights installed ... check
Stereo with Aux in ... check
replacing back glass on shell ... check
next ... I am designing a carpeted storage kit for the back. I found an air mattress that will fit perfectly, after I build the kit. I am also making black-out curtains, that will magnet to the window frames, and fold up neatly in a shoe box. Install some speakers with an amp, a power inverter ... find a cheap laptop, and I can watch movies back there. I already have tons of camp gear, so I don't need anything else ... Summer ... I'm waiting for you!
Work ...
I have been busy lately ...
I drove forklift for Outdoor Retailer ... Largest convention to come to SLC, twice a year ... that was 18 days straight (well two days off of it, but I did work two other gigs).
Ballet West did "Don Quixote" ... wonderful show. We had two scene changes, that happened during the acts. Both had to be done with a blackout curtain, and both with only a minute to move huge set pieces ... other cities would actually have the orchestra play a couple of measures in a loop, to add time. Cheaters!
South Pacific Broadway ... just the load in and out
Zac Brown Band ... all day affair, with show call ...
Mike Berbiglea ... funny guy ... but not a fan of touring comedians with a script ...
Screw Tape Letters by C.S.Lewis ... wonderful show!
tomorrow ...
is "Rock of Ages"
should be fun! I hope to get a show call. It is for two nights ...
Next Week ...
"Blast"
YouTube of it because I can't get it to show up ...
Touring Marching Band?! ... who knew ...
It will be up in Logan, Utah ... about 90 miles away ... I will just get a room vs driving back and forth. I might be Head of Wardrobe for this one *fingers crossed*
other than that, just a couple of big Corporate Conventions coming up (which means better money 30% on top of base salary )
and "Beauty and the Beast" Broadway makes a quick stop ( one week = 8 shows) later this month ...
other than that ... not a whole lot to report ... I am sick of this SNOW!!!
kiss kiss, bang Bang!

Hmmm I remember our camping experience
i___zombie:
that was hardly a "camping" experience ... but the journey and destination were the best parts
