a hectic couple of days

          TUESDAY 9/4/18 7:51AM--I'm here in G-burg having cereal for breakfast; after which I'm gonna prep the trash and possibly set it at least part way out...that includes the kitty litter...some of the stuff I was gonna do while I was in the neighborhood is gonna wait until tomorrow...I plan to come back here tomorrow morning, wash the rags and make mac and cheese that I can have for dinner tomorrow...

           As for this evening, I'll likely go to the IPO open mic...I don't expect to see Angela there, but Michelle said SHE would be there...

 5:47PM- having dinner at Wendy’s on 355 not too far from the IPO…  Lou and I got together this afternoon to practice; we got some work done…  tomorrow I’m going to Gaithersburg to wash the rags and make tomorrow’s dinner…

8PM- The open mic was canceled due to a lack of air conditioning… So my host (Eric) and I started talking about acoustic guitars… Before you know it we were at Victor Litz and I was laying the groundwork for a deal to be made tomorrow after lunch...I would like to discuss the details of the deal, but I’m suspicious-I don’t want to jinx it…I should say no more... I just hope I can get some sleep tonight...

9:40PM- I’m willing to say this much-Acoustic music might be more important to me in the future if things go according to plan…

10:30PM- for the first time since I started have house sitting here, I cleaned out the cat's litter box- it was easier than I thought it was going to be…  trying to stay up until midnight, only because I don’t want to wake up at five in the morning…and of course, I’m trying not to think about my visit to Victor  Litz...

WEDNESDAY 9:30AM--in G-burg, washing the rags, cooking my Dinner...doing stuff...trying to be calm--yeah, right...

10:39AM--gonna eat Lunch soon, drop off the package I forgot at Parcel Plus, then go to Litz...rumor has it that there's band practice tonight; I hope not...it doesn't make a difference--am *I* the only band member who knows that? Apparently...

11:12AM--unfortunately there IS practice tonight...

12:53PM- well, I KNEW that the deal that I started last night was not going to be the deal that I went with this afternoon...I did NOT trade even up one guitar for the other but I only had to put out $100 and I got a gig bag...the guitar I bought wasn’t going to fit in the case  that the Crafter came in... and I know pretty much for a fact that Little is going to sell the crafter for at least $400... so, I think, I gave lips a guitar for free plus $100 and in exchange they gave me a guitar that they probably paid maybe $150 for and a gig bag… Financially they did way better than I did; but I got the acoustic guitar I wanted…
