Working on my holiday

Luke and one of many organs he's fixed

Today we went to Luke's workplace (CVKeyboards) where he works on musician's keyboards such as Hammond organs, Leslie Speakers, Rhodes pianos and more. Many of the musicians who frequent his business are well known, such as Fleetwood Mac, Maroon 5, Kanye West, Lenny Kravitz and many more. Heres a link to Luke's website if you are interested. Click on the video on the home page to see the vast collection of musical instruments he has in his shop.

Luke put me to work fixing (or attempting to fix) three Apple computers. I managed to upgrade their office Mac to the latest MacOS and fixed a few problems with that. Hector, the Office Manager, was very pleased as it made his job a lot easier. The other two I had varying degrees of success with. I have to earn my keep!

After that, I took my life into my hands and got behind the wheel of Luke's car he's lent us and drove Ros and Augie back to his apartment. Managed it OK thanks to the trusty GPS we brought with us and I didn't turn on the wipers once! (For the uninitiated, the wiper and indicator stalks are reversed in America). We then went clothes shopping at Ross Stores, just a block's walk from the apartment where Ros bought a swimsuit so she can use the jacuzzi down on the 6th floor. The 6th floor is a communal entertaining area with pool, the aforementioned jacuzzi, pool table and two vintage arcade game tables with such games as Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Pac-man and Galaga. Had a great time trying my hand at these blasts from the past.

Keeping warm

After this strenuous activity, Ros needed a nap and when she felt cold and couldn't be bothered to get under the blankets, came up with an innovative way to keep warm. See picture to the right. By the way, readers of my blog, you can click on the pictures to see a larger version.

We didn't see Khristina yesterday, she left early for work and had to commute down to Orange County, which can be a two hour drive in peak traffic. She came home after we went to bed and left this morning before we got up. She is an estimator and designer for a large building company, which keeps her very busy.

We watched the latest episode of Game of Thrones last night, we have been waiting for two years for this show to return and it didn't disappoint.

Being in a high-rise apartment does give a unique view of the rooftops of nearby buildings and last night the one right next to us had an interesting vista unfolding below us. A very amorous couple in varying stages of undress were getting very busy in what could only be described as an "X" rated activity. They probably thought being on the roof of a tall building afforded them some privacy, but with taller buildings surrounding it, this was not to be. No pictures were taken as this is a G-rated blog!
