DR elmore I hope you are working with Josie, feeling better, and not at the ER.

Damn it to hell, the snow caught up with the pavement and we now have a solid covering. Hopefully it isn't going to get too much worse. I need to get it cleaned up as best possible before leaving for my show tonight, because it's going down to almost ten degrees overnight, and over the next two nights, so whatever's remaining is going to be there for a good long time.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #32 on:** March 10, 2017, 08:24:00 AM »

But enough about me!

What do the rest of you think about my snow??

Lordy, another Finale upgrade.

I went for the 2014.5 upgrade, and this latest does sound like a worthy one, but unless and until I really start using the program,
I can't give them another $150, no sirree.

My folks told me their peach tree was in full blossom. I hope it's not snowing in Louisville. Guess I could check the weather app about that.

Thankfully it's in the 40s there.

I have to keep remembering this isn't Saturday, because by yesterday evening it was starting to feel like a Friday evening.

So,

It's FRIDAY, damn it. FRIDAY.

TOD:

Last night, which wasn't Friday, I finally sat down with the new Blu-ray of Bells Are Ringing, and it is a marvel.

Before that, I made a drink and put on my friend's CD of Moana, a film I haven't seen (but will soon), just to hear what all the fuss was about regarding the songs and score. This friend doesn't care at all for even the tiniest bit of rap in a couple of the numbers, while I find it not at all inappropriate to the rest, and even charming. Different strokes. But I'm the guy who ended up liking In the Heights. I now look forward a little more to seeing the movie, for which I have the 3D Blu-ray on order.

Big Speakers, by the way. Sometimes I forget, which is unacceptable. Good listening must be done on the Big Speakers.

Moana - you can never have enough ana.

And you can't have mo ana until you've had some ana.

Around 2:30am, I awoke with terrible stomach cramps, which continue to now. At 7:00, I called and moved therapy this morning to Monday. I hope I am not getting sick. Joshie and I have a show to finish.

I'm up, I'm up, barely. At two-thirty the book room smoke detector began beeping, once every thirty seconds or so. I got up, mistakenly thought it was the hallway thing and undid that which set off a fire alarm - I stopped that but the fire department called and I had to tell them no. Then I found a nine-volt battery in a drawer and tried swapping it out, to no help, but that battery may not have been good - but when they installed that smoke detector they told me the battery was just for back-up. I closed the door, closed the door to my bedroom, put Kleenex in my ears and finally fell asleep. I just awoke and it's not beeping anymore - any clews?

Found this - this was the first time I'd not had the heater on - the culprit and a weak battery that I'll replace today

Most smoke detectors operate on batteries, or have a back-up battery. When these batteries fall below a certain voltage, the detector warns us by chirping. Electricity is produced by a chemical reaction inside the battery. As with most chemical reactions, lower temperatures cause the chemical reactions to occur more slowly. This results in reduced electrical output.

As we all know temperatures drop during the night. When you have a battery that is near the end of its life, it may produce just enough power during the warmth of the day to satisfy the detector. However when the evening temperatures drop enough to slow the chemical reaction of the battery, and thus the electrical output, the detector warns that the battery is too weak to function. And that is why they almost always wake us up in the middle of the night.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #44 on:** March 10, 2017, 10:40:22 AM »

Sounds right. Mine are wired into the house, and they require the backup battery to be good or you start getting the chirping.

George · « **Reply #45 on:** March 10, 2017, 10:46:14 AM »

My sister has detectors that are wired into the house also, but even when we changed the batteries, it didn't always help. Something else was going on, and I think she just had them disconnected. $:-\$

Yesterday, we co-orchestrated a dance, and it was a lot of fun throwing ideas back and forth. I'm learning two things from working with him: if I'd actually had children, I doubt I'd ever have a better son than he, and I'm actually a pretty good teacher.

That's great, Larry.

Emailed the Vixter a picture of our weather she replied she's sweating in a tank top.

Back to work

I am home from City Center. Today, we looked over a couple of charts we'd worked on together, and I've brought them home to proofread over the weekend. We also made all the fixes in the overture, and I'm hoping we caught it all.

My abdomen still aches. I will see how I'm feeling tomorrow.

True DR CHAS SMITH - sometimes a little ana can go a LONG way.

We change our smoke detector batteries on January 1st every year....so we rarely have a chirp.
