18. Livin' the life I see...

I'm holding up. Found out what one of my major health issues was and getting it fixed - my back. It won't be completely fixed but getting to as good as it can be is major. This weekend and next I'm hangin' with the bluegrass crowd, great pickers show up at these two weekend long jams and we have a lot of fun. They're outdoor/camp out set ups with several "circles" to wander around to and from, some just get going behind the pick up trucks in the field or behind the barn, it's a laid back but unbelievably fun music event. People come from all over for these. There are fiddles, dobros, banjos, ancient Martin guitars and others, anything acoustic, anyone can join in. I usually get down with the harmonies but I can put out some mean Patsy Cline when asked to.

After this, it could be hangin' with a Gypsy jazz fest, we'll see.

Other than that, it's too damn hot, we aren't supposed to have triple digit temps in Montana which is 97% north of the 45th parallel.

Car-wise, my '92 4runner is nearly restored, got some cosmetics on the exterior to finish up; thinking about how long to keep the BMW (2004 x3i) since it likes to spend my money more than I like. I'd be okay with the 4runner if I got rid of the bmer but I kind of like the luxury ride and was hoping for a trade-in deal for an electric car at some point. We'll see.
