gurdymonkeyMen are dumb, some of 'em. This one posts on the Tousando that he's "in San Francisco this week." So I do the nice thing and email him to say I will be in Japantown as soon as shops open to run my Estrella prep errands and does he want to meet for breakast or coffee. He emails back to reveal that he are not, in fact, IN San Francisco, but at some martial arts seminar in Santa Clara and invites me to "learn some budo", an activity which would require me to drive back from downtown SF and another hour south of my house, even if I HAD any desire to take up a martial art at my age with two bad knees and a dicey elbow.* Dude, what part of "I have a war to go to in four days" did you completely miss, you silly man?
Things are not out of control, but I've definitely got things to get done this weekend.
To do:
Japantown shopping run Saturday 2/9:
1. Mystify proprietor of Soko Hardware by purchasing lots of big-ass Japanese hats. Twine for lashing banner poles.
2. Groceries Nijiya: mochi, satsumas, daikon, green onion, kabocha, anything else that looks tempting. (Yagyu -dono assures me I have bought Quite Enough Sake....)
Non-Japantown shopping Saturday 2/9:
3. Groceries Nob Hill Foods: baking soda, sugar, block ice for cooler.
4. Craft store for basswood for kite struts.
Finish banners.
Inventory camp kitchen stuff and wait to hear from Yagyu-dono on unnecessary duplication of supplies, things still needed, etc.
Inventory and triage camping gear living in truck.
Check fit of new ridgepole sleeve and turn old one into recycling.
Call Bruce's and get the truck serviced.
Motel 6 reservation in Palm Springs.
Class notes!
Chargeand update iPod. Fresh batteries in iPod speaker dock.
Re-glue rosette on hurdy gurdy.
Cut bamboo for banner pole cross-pieces. Cut doweling for bamboo "extensions." Reinforce ends of bamboo with strapping tape to prevent splitting.
Finish tabi.
Pre-cook on Sunday:
Chicken teryaki onigiri
Kabocha manju
Re-pack kitchen box.
Pack garb.
Pack books.
Print and copy class notes.
Everything into truck except cooler, wagon, hurdy gurdy by Monday night. (Figure out where five big-ass Japanese hats can go without being crushed.)
Load the rest Tuesday AM before work.
Optional sewing:
Make George a new coif.
Let out the pink kimono I won at the silent auction for $5
Finish tattsuke-bakama?
Finish brown gored tunic?
