27 June …
The radio club participation in the Castle Crags bicycle event went well. There were minor glitches, as usual. But the sponsors again said they don’t know what they’d do without us.
I started out as the park liaison with the sponsors at 0530 and then moved to a SAG wagon at 0800 (with a driver who in the past refused to have a radio on board). By the time our shift was done at 1330, Andy (the SAG driver) was a convert admitting radios are very useful. I enjoyed the time with him as well. He was born and raised in Dunsmuir and so had a lot of stories about the area.
I then went back to the park and filled in where needed.
At the end of the day, when every other radio was gone, I was sitting in the park waiting for either Mark or Kamille to come get me since I had ridden in with Mark in the morning. I was getting teased …
They’re all at home.
Someone will notice you’re missing.
Didn’t you go get her?
No. I thought you had.
Well … what are we going to do now?
However, they both showed up about 1800 and we all made it to bed on time.
As usual, we were given leftovers to bring home. This year we didn’t get as many bananas, but we hit paydirt with root beer.

It has been seven months … tears are still an occasional problem.

There is a group of local amateur actors who call themselves the Siskiyou Chancel Players. They perform in the style of the old First Drama Quartet, i.e. with minimal costuming and no props while reading from scripts. I learned that back in the Middle Ages there were acting groups like this which performed religious plays in actual church chancels … hence the name.
This group did a performance last Friday (when I got to see it) of a one act play called “David the King” which is a more biblically accurate retelling of the story of David and Bathsheba.
Mark read the part of Nathan, the Prophet, and Kamille was part of the women’s chorus.
They will do a repeat performance next sunday.

My television watching took an upturn last week. “Endeavour” is back on Masterpiece, and Mark introduced me to a series titles “Wayward Pines”.

The planning for the MS 4th of July events went through a (to quote a member) shitstorm, but seems to be on track now.
The blog will be early next week since the 4th is a wednesday. So the report on how our participation in the activities goes will be in two weeks.

Have I told you Paul is taking swimming lessons at the pool in Weed? I was the taxi this morning (which is why the blog is so late) and was very out of place in the waiting area. I was the only one watching the kids without a phone in my hand to which I was paying a lot of attention.
Oh well …

I have a question for you men out there …
When a woman notes that a man friend’s fly is undone, should she tell him, or ignore it?

And there are no pictures this week. I have some I want to share, but Photoshop is acting up.
All I have left for now is …
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
So … ‘til next week …
