What are you up to on this beautiful Spring morning?

The timing was perfect for me. It's 70 degrees out (F; about 20 C) and a repeat customer just came by with a big ol' pair of Pioneer speakers to restore. I'm out on the balcony with my shirt off, beginning work on this year's savage tan, and working on the first surface. Inside, I have papers to grade calling out to me, but the allure of speakers and sun on the balcony is too great. Has Spring sprung where you are? How are you spending this beautiful Saturday?

You will be in seventh heaven. It is another lovely day here too and we need to get out in it soon and pack away stuff from the concert.

I assume it went well? We had a good gig last night. I had fun on bass and my fingers are fine today! I'm learning to use the sides of my fingers more.

@TheHorse Glad your gig was enjoyable. Vince had trouble getting the sound set up correctly but the gig itself went off very well thanks.

@CoralLevang I hope you can find a nice hiking group. The desserts in Southern California said they have wildflowers. I want to take a trip out to see one day

Thanks! I THINK I'm going to take a kid client hiking at Black Diamond Mines later this afternoon. I'm going to bring my camera.There should be wildflowers everywhere.

Went out this morning to do a bit of grocery shopping. Felt like it was in the 30s and the sun was shining in the big blue sky.

Nasty? Impossible! How is the weather in Michigan? I will grade my speakers and refinish my papers--or whatever it takes!

We went out this morning to buy fabric....coupons made it a great experience! This afternoon we went for a walk. It's sunny but brisk outside today...too cold to sit outside.

@TheHorse it's been popping in and out of the forecast. At the moment we are snow free.

@Morleyhunt What kind of fabric did you buy? I actually get excited about fabric when it's for the speakers I restore. Often the front grilles need to be redone.

Oh, you're lucky--it got cold here again. We don't have to wait a lot longer for spring, once we get through the snow in the forecast tomorrow! I've actually been dealing with a bad bout of food poisoning (are there any good ones???), but I feel better today. Cheers!

lucky you that spring has sprung. Mother Nature has decided that we need some snow so we had a few inches yesterday and now the possibility of a major Nor'eastet for Tuesday with maybe a foot of snow. Ugh

They're all big rectangle/cubes. I'm sure the others are long-since done.
