Sanding, then a gig. In the 100 degree F (37.7778 C) sun. Wish me hydration and survival.

Today should be an interesting one. I've been doing some work on the speakers I've been restoring this morning, as well as testing out my new Shure SM-58 microphone.
At 2 PM, we have a music gig (the is the "newer" band) at a BBQ place in Martinez CA. It's supposed to hit 100 F or so today, so it should be an interesting experience. I'm filling up my big Gatorade bottle with a mixture of Gatorade and water.
I may visit the pool before I head off to the gig.
What are you up to on this sunny and hot Sunday?

It's only supposed to reach 89F here today. I just woke up from a nap and am planning on reading for a while. I hope you have a fun time at the gig this afternoon.

@TheHorse A new book by Mercedes Lackey. It's called Elemental Magic. And then a new one by Cassandra Clare called The Last Hours: A Chain of Iron.

@DaddyEvil No hints as to what they're about? I am reading a book about Thomas Jefferson. I hadn't realized how vehemently anti-slavery he was, even in the 1700s.

@wolfgirl569 I just watered my balcony garden. I might get some Miracle Grow for both my garden and the one at the preschool.

I hope you had a great time even with all the heat, I often think when it heats up how great it would be if now and then someone came along and just watered me down with a watering can,

@TheHorse you are right I had forgotten that but at least it would have been great to cold off some before you played your instruments,

I did. The gig was fun. Did you see our third encore. Our drummer recorded it. It's about t5 degrees F cooler today. Not that I posted the temp (the other day) in C for Maluse. I'll have to check and see whether she thanked me.
