Heading over to Pat’s, he is driving Dan and Me to Kentucky to see Uncle Jack and Charlene. It’s a beautiful sunny day, maybe a little cool.
Met up with Jack and Charlene at Berea at a State Crafts store, a lot of nice stuff. Went on to Crackle Barrel for lunch, still not my favorite place to eat. After lunch we walked around Berea’s Old Downtown and looked at all the crafts shops. Nice stuff, but no real bargains. There was a weaving shop and the guy showed us all about how to weave. pretty cool.
Jack told some stories about he and Dad. The best was on a snowy day they went out to play and were rough housing washing each others faces with snow and their Mom (my Grandma) came out and uncharacteristically joined in the fight. When they finished she told Uncle Jack to go get a bucket. Grandma filled it with snow and took it inside and dumped it on Grandpa. I guess the fur flew then. Grandpa was not a happy man.
Restrung Paul’s guitar. Wasn’t too bad. The biggest problem was when you get down to the thinner strings the knot did not want to hold. I didn’t bother to change the high E string it didn’t seem to be any worse for the wear like some of the lower strings. Besides I did’t want to wrestle with the knot on one more string. It is a pretty straight forward knot, but the string is so slick it wants to slide out.
Watched some of the Wisconsin versus Miami bowl game. Wisconsin won 20-14, but for awhile it looked like they might give it away.
UD beat Boston University in basketball 74-60. If UD can be more consistent and get everybody playing to their potential they have a chance to be real good. They play New Mexico State at their place in a few days which should be a good gauge if they belong in the top 25. New Mexico is real tough at home.
