TOD

Traveling again.

Well. I made it to the grocery store and back without getting carjacked. Which is something, given what's been going on around here lately. 50 per day. Committed by 14-year olds with guns.

Now putting my feet up and enjoying a mug o' steaming hot chocolate.

singdaw · « **Reply #36 on:** December 31, 2021, 06:32:23 AM »

Which is the way it should be.

singdaw · « **Reply #37 on:** December 31, 2021, 06:32:58 AM »

So, like DR Ron Pulliam, my fridge and freezer are full of delightful foodstuffs.

singdaw · « **Reply #38 on:** December 31, 2021, 06:33:35 AM »

I think I'll be making soup today, if there's any room left to store it away.

Yesterday's mail included a royalty check from my publisher. That will pay December's Spectrum bill, thank God.

I have all the makings for chicken soup, but the freezer and fridge are full. That's a project for the weekend.

Thanks for that beautiful track, DR elmore3003.

Some books I am looking forward to in 2022:
Jeremy Denk on classical music
David Loud on Broadway music
Randy Rainbow's memoir

And
Larry Moore's memoir, if he ever gets it written.

I enjoy reading about everyone's activities! Such great folks here at HHW.

I would say I was as happy as a donkey with a blue ball - but it may be that not everyone watched the video.

The TOD is again another interesting one.

My answer for yesterday finally came to me. One New Year's Eve Day my friend Sabian Trout and I were driving down the street heading for the Phoenix Theatre. I was the stage manager and she was my assistant for a production of The Cemetery Club with a group of wonderful actresses.

A New Year's Eve do was planned to take place for the audience after the show including a band and champagne....and the theatre nabobs had decided that Sabian and I would be in charge while they went to their various celebrations.

As we were driving down the street at about 4 p.m. there on the side of the street was an old cabinet radio-phonograph in someone's junk pile. Both of us looked at it and then at each other.

I turned my Ford Escort around and we went back and got it.

The party was great - the audience had a wonderful time and the band was very tuneful...and the show that night was also good.

The End.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #47 on:** December 31, 2021, 07:03:13 AM »

And the radio-phonograph spent many happy years at my house until it went to live with my sister Myrna.

It didn't have any guts so it was just for show....but it also made a nice lobby prop a couple of summers later when I directed The 1940's Radio Hour.

The Real End.

singdaw · « **Reply #49 on:** December 31, 2021, 07:04:23 AM »

Nice story, DR Jrand71.

Perhaps you should write a memoir, too.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #50 on:** December 31, 2021, 07:04:26 AM »

AND today we have a 11 a.m. appointment with the attorney and the folks who are buying the little house to get the paper work started.

AND my aunt and niece have decided they are renting a truck and will be picking up their stuff from the big house today at 1 p.m.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #51 on:** December 31, 2021, 07:04:52 AM »

So hopefully I will be back sometime to answer today's TOD.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #52 on:** December 31, 2021, 07:05:04 AM »

CDs ordered.

I neglected to say that we finally bought the car battery jumper that BK has. With three cars here, and given BK's experience with AAA, it made total sense and I'm glad we have it. However, either the voltage meter or something else is faulty, or I'm understanding something wrong.

When pressing the red button before charging it the first time, it read somewhere in the middle which I'd expect with it being new. Then I gave it an initial overnight charge. When I unplugged and checked it the next day, the needle only went into the low green so I plugged it back in for a few hours. Unplugging and checking it again, the needle now doesn't even move. But when it's plugged in, the "Charged" light is on.

So, question for BK: I'll read through the instructions again but it seems very straightforward. I'll also contact the company. But does it sound like I'm doing something wrong?

EDIT: I just checked it again after leaving it alone for a while and it jumped right up to 13 volts!

New Year’s Eve greetings! Today I’m making spaghetti sauce from scratch. We’ll pick up salads and breadsticks from the Olive Garden and have a feast between college football semifinals.

Go, Bearcats in the Cotton Bowl!

Go, Blue in the Orange Bowl!
