Song of the Day

We have been waiting for the property title to come thru. Waiting and waiting it feels like. I spoke to the lawyer yesterday and he said that the department of natural resources has a survey team scheduled to visit the property soon. They are going to verify the dimensions of the easment and river area. Once that has been verified (measure twice and cut once?) then the legal team at the department can sign off on the deed to the easement. It sounds like it is still months away at this point. We did however forward our case number on to someone that may be able to help? We shall see. This has given us an opportunity to save some more so that is always good.

So I decided to put a song of the day out for download because the lyrics remind me of our chance in Puerto Rico. It’s a radiohead song:

“In the deepest ocean
Bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I’d be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead

Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance”

I also added some Puerto Rico Pics. As with all our pictures you can click on them for a larger view.

Rocking Out Instead of Working

A group of us at work had been using some extra space to play music during lunches and breaks. Turns out they asked us to play for the company meeting. I think this is the biggest venue I’ve played at to date. There were roughly 800 people in attendance.

It was a nice stage complete with big screen, TV cameras and a sound crew. Pretty neat to play bass and have it completely thump via a massive PA. The kick drum sounded badass too.


Backstage, but no groupies?

Work has built this nice grass amphitheater. I think that when we eventually move to PR I will try to build our own so that when we throw massive parties we can have live salsa (and other) bands show up and play!

We played
– Come Togehter (Beatles)
– Cold Shot (Stevie Ray)
– Rock and Roll (Led Zepplin)

And for what its worth…we ROCKED. It sounded really good.

Fun in the Sunset

Our backyard produces some awesome sunsets. We are not sure how long we will have an open field behind us, but if they ever change it, we will probably be long gone in Puerto Rico by then.

For those of you coming to our party next weekend (Sept 6th), you can enjoy it with us as we launch potatoes into the field and lake (more info in a post this weekend hopefully)….
