It has been said at least once that I need to have some sort of plan for all the things I’d like to attempt to cram into my two weeks of freedom. As far as I can tell this is to give people that aren’t me some idea what’s on my plate, I’m not trying to have a schedule, but I guess if other folks know I want to do this, they won’t get all pissed off if I don’t do something they think I want to do. That said, here are some things I’m going to try to knock out while I’m home – if you find me doing any of these things, don’t get offended if I ignore suggestions to do something else. Here we go:

  • Buy my SV650 and get my motorcycle license
  • Visit with family in the “Golden Triangle”
  • Hang out with old friends – this likely entails the consumption of alcoholic beverages like expensive German beer.
  • Shoot my Nighthawk, Colt, S&W, Winchester, and anything else I’m forgetting.
  • Ride down to one of the music stores (H&H or Guitar Center) and pick up a Boss GT8 to replace my broken GT3 with.
  • Pick up yet another 2.5″ laptop drive for my enclosure, and attempt to RMA the dead 80GB I have now.
  • Check out the live music/club scene in Houston.
  • Play guitar, a lot.

There you have it, my short list of things to cram into my two weeks of R&R. I can probably knock a lot of the “buy this” stuff out in one day, but there’s plenty up there that I’m going to do my best to make a recurring deal (guitar, live music/club, beer). That’s all for now.
