CHRISTMAS - a new video posted on YouTube - again....
Hey y'all - out and about again - this time I am back in South Dakota!!
It is 9 degrees right now and that is cold, even if you are from here. (YES I KNOW - 40 below is really cold too...)
There is little snow to be found yet, but the frost seems to add up and look like snow!
I had a fun morning trying to figure out how to see out of the windows on the car to get to work. The windshield wipers just scrapped over the top and the car took FOREVER to warm up enough to make a dent thru that stuff. It kinda looked like little snow flakes - stuck to the windows and not coming off. I put my murse (guy purse) on the back trunk and it rolled to the street - right off the frozen solid car. YES - I shot video as I froze in the car trying to figure it all out.... California kids could never know what my Sioux Falls friends seem to know (and not mention till it is a funny story).
THEY ARE MAKING FUN OF MY FUZZY HAT - They don't have them here - In the really cold place - but sell them in Orange County?? You Know - those Russian Eskimo looking hats. SD mocks me - but one cool guy - Ryan - is going to steal it or have me mail him one back from Orange County. I should have brought a truck load with me....
STORIES - It was Wednesday Night - I was rushing home from a gig to get some sleep before a really early flight! Michele had come with me and we heard an odd sound at one point just after hitting the road, like something hit the bottom of the car. WEIRD - home - move a car out of the street sweep zone and I can't find my phone. We get back together and both realize - THAT SOUND in LONG BEACH was my phone!
YES - we were now in Mission Viejo - more than an hour had past - I had to be at the airport at 630am - I was going to be cut off from the world in a few hours!
WHAT DO YOU DO??
I went all the way back to Long Beach and spent an hour walking around Second Street near PCH looking for a phone! We both remembered the area we heard the sound, but it was still a long road and VERY DARK and COLD! (Well - not as cold as 9 degrees 8)
I found the phone! It had been run over a dozen or more times - was in the gutter - had the mini SD card still but I could not find the chip anywhere. The battery was up the road, folded in half! Oh well.
I bailed - got home really really late - got help packing - had a short nap and left for Sioux Falls - late - but made the flight! Thanks Michele for helping!!
Thursday was fly day right up to an airport pick up and long rehearsal. Friday AM I had a staff meeting and was quick to bail on the office to hit the ATT store! Buying a new phone is as bad as a new car! It took me 2+ hours?? Maybe more time.... Unbelievable!
SO - got a new phone - It's called a big square thing with NO REAL BUTTONS for texting! BUT - the G4 stuff actually makes the data plan count for something! AND - this Androidish thing has a real GPS in it! I LOVE THAT! NO more GOOGLE maps - lost and confused! I love Michele's navigation and now I have one too!!
Side note - Grandpa Rule left me on unlimited Data - even on the G4! That was cool.
LOVE THIS PHONE - has weather - loaded Sioux Falls - IT IS 5 degrees - DRUM ROLL PLEASE
><><<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
BUT IT FEELS LIKE 7!!
Still laughing!!

Funny story. We don't realize how easy we have it until we hear stories like this. Did you guys book A/T for the wedding? I hope so.
My personal favorite. Have a good trip.
