Jerzei Collie's journal

I'll be making a large catering delivery tomorrow morning. I hate when the order pickup time is before the restaurant opens since the restaurant won't usually let me in early. I should be done in time to do my regular noon workout at Dad's house. I have a meetup later that evening.

Dad had bought more hot dogs than he needed, so he gave me a pack of them. Tomorrow I'll get some buns and cheese to pair with the hot dogs.

Dad was able to find a buyer for the van he had. The van was used to transport my mom after she became wheelchair-bound in 2006.

I was finally able to extend my original hotel reservation for DenFur to check out on Monday. This will save me about $280 since the extra day is at the con rate instead of the regular hotel rate. I cancelled the second reservation for Sunday-Monday since I don't need it anymore.

Just 66 days until DenFur!

I didn't get to do any walking around the block today since it's been raining with lightning. Tomorrow, I need to go to Dad's house an hour earlier since he has a house cleaning service coming over at noon. I'll try to get a haircut tomorrow before a meetup.

I wanted to go to Del Taco for lunch, but two of the locations near me have signs up saying they're closed until further notice. The news articles I found online said a franchisee dispute and bankruptcy caused the closures at the end of February. All Colorado locations are closed except one in Grand Junction which is owned by a different franchisee.

I went out to Voodoo Brewing tonight for dinner with the meetup group. There were two sandwiches I was torn between; I got the Chicky Chicky Bang Bang sandwich, which has a chicken tikka masala breast. The other sandwich I thought about trying was a spicy chicken sandwich called Cluck Around And Find Out.

I'm still doing walks every morning, though I will shift to early afternoons so I can sleep in a bit more.

I've been getting much more exercise this week. Yesterday and today, I walked for about a mile each day. My legs really hate me, but I hope I can keep this up.

Tonight, I saw the Psychedelegates play at Hillside Gardens. They hadn't played for a few months, so it was good to hear them again.

I couldn't go for a walk today since there's been rain off and on all day. The weekend is supposed to be much sunnier and warmer.

I put together a music set dedicated to Rick Derringer. I learned about his death on Facebook from "Weird Al" Yankovic, whose first few albums were produced by Derringer. I also found another clip featuring George Wendt I had forgotten about. It was from the TV show TV Funhouse and featured Wendt doing a speech about ovarian cancer, but he used a more vulgar term for it.

During last month's FoxTrot meet, I discovered that the Denver Sweet bar has extended its kitchen hours to 10 PM on Saturdays. Since FoxTrot begins at 9 PM, that will make it easier for me to have dinner during the meet instead of before it.

Best Buy just contacted me to say my laptop is ready. I'll pick it up Sunday afternoon. The Rabbit Hole will still be a rerun since I didn't plan out a complete show for this week.

I made an appointment for Wednesday to have Best Buy look at my laptop. Instead of blue-screening during Doggy Radio, the laptop decided to blue-screen during the Rabbit Hole last night. Hopefully the problem can be fixed quickly, otherwise I may have to skip next weekend's Rabbit Hole.
