Luke made the microwavable chicken a special way. I was cutting up the tomatoes and I heard Luke turn on the microwave. 2+ minutes later I went to check on the chicken he put in and I noticed that the microwave was on but he didn’t put the chicken in. Fortunately the microwave wasn’t broken but this is the last time he pre-heats the microwave.

What a surprise visit! Peter and Mary came by from Tracy. We chatted for quite a while. They told us how there campaign went (Peter ran for City Council). They are also doing some property managment so they had some good tenant stories to tell. We went in there car. Wow! It’s like a first class hotel! The steering wheel is rigged up with not only a volume control, but a bluetooth phone thingy that let’s you say the number you want to dial and the bluetooth will do it for you. A while ago, I heard Ron Owens talked about bluetooth things and Lexus cars but I didn’t know that they combined them ’cause I was used to BT things being for PCs and such. So, they also had butt warmers in the seat. (also called seat warmers) They had a DVD-audio player, a moonroof, electric seat adjusters (so if Peter put the key in the door, the seat would change to his form, and when mary put her key in, it would change to her), something that tells the life of the oil, a digital panel that tells what doors are open, leather seats, etc. Oh, and there are lights a’ plenty! everything has a light. A dream car! . . . for only 31,000 buckazoids! the hubcaps didn’t spin which was a bummer but there was plenty of room in the trunk. You could fit a few bodies in it.
The bamboo grove we have is rather crowded so I went in and pulled out a bunch and thinned out the branches. Boy, the smaller thinner bamboo is harder to cut down than the larger ones ’cause the smaller ones are dense and when I cut it with the shovel, it bounces off at an angle (’cause I swing the shovel down on it in a vertical direction). I got the heavy sharper shovel and that did the trick. When I was cutting, I saw our neighbors were putting in a dog turd composter. It was rather uninteresting. Just a plastic box with a lid for easy disposal. It was a waste of money as Art says. It would have been cheaper and just as good just to make a box with some cinderblocks.
Also, we planned out the song list for our return to the mall! We haven’t been playing on the mall for a while so we’re gonna try that again.
We finally set up a Paypal thingy on the Playingbyear so we should be getting a bigger flood of orders from people doing impulse buys! Art lent me some Japanese music. I put the disc in my drive and in my media library, all the text turned to Japanese characters. Never seen that before. It’s pretty good stuff. One of the CDs is a nine or ten year old kid playing the Shamisen (with a toothpick-like bachi) and singing with all the falsetto parts and the works. Very impressive.
Luke’s legs were stilled burned up from the innertubing trip so he didn’t go to Karate. I was warming up and I heard Josh do a Kata. I didn’t pay attention to it and I continued on with stretching until I heard a landing from a jump. I turned around and he was on the ground kneeling down punching the ground. I easily recalled that was from the Unsu kata! The Kata that I’ve wanted to see in action! I can’t believe I missed it. I missed the coolest part where you spin in the air and the part where you fall and kick!
