I'll bet it's raining...

We've been all about the rain here lately. It seems like it's rained everyday for the past week! Late this afternoon some strong storms moved through Madison - there was also a tornado on the ground NE of Huntsville. The tornado warning sirens were in full song. It was a bit creepy to be outside with the sirens blaring and the wind gusting. I was out in it briefly after picking my car up from getting the tires roated and balanced. I quickly made it back to the office and hung out there till it all passed.

Work was interesting to say the least. I've stirred up a nest of activity due to my resignation. At this point, they are looking at a combination of up to 3 people to manage my heavy workload. Hmmm. Got a lot of comments from my co-workers as well: "You dawg!", "Lucky B*stard", "So you escaped?", "You look much happier!", "Do they need anyone else?", "So, how hard is it to do your job?". I'm going to miss working with my friends there of course, but I've got to move on. I'll stay in touch with all them anyway since they're all on IM - it's not like I'm moving away either so hopefully things will stay close to the same.

Met up with the B's for dinner (shocking, isn't it?) and put a small dent in the chicken population. After that was a fun run to Wal-Mart. Band practice was last night to accomodate the schedule of others (I'm off drumming duty this week anyway). I think Asian #2 is off this week as well so A1 & A2 will be in the crowd this Sunday. It's nice to have a break every once in awhile.

Got some new hi-hats today that I had ordered over the weekend. They're the 12" Meinl Alien Hats. Very cool sounding set. The bottom cymbal has jingles mounted to it giving it a different sound from my regular hats. Also, they're smaller in diameter making them very "fast" and slightly crisper than even my 13" K/Z set.

Oh, want to send happy birthday greetings to my sister and dad. Solita's was Monday and dad's was today. I'll add a year to my count as well next month. Crap, this getting old thing stinks.

No F1 racing this weekend. :-(
