4 day weekend!

Today at work, we had a meeting towards the end of the day. We had a lot to discuss as things are changing in the shop with the addition of a new project that may start up soon. Anyway, we are fairly busy and they needed volunteers to work on this one product assembly. The volunteers would get the upcoming Monday off but have to work the Friday of next week, which means getting a 4 day weekend this week and a 2 day weekend next week. We work 10 hour shifts, that is why we normally have 3 days off, I volunteered because the product we are building is one of the few that I really know how to do all of. I know how to build and package the entire thing as we have done several hundred in the past few weeks. Its some kind of lockbox for a cell phone tower? Anyway! I am planning several activities to occupy my spare time this weekend, mainly trying to play the drums and practice up for quite some time. I also am going to maybe try and either record a song and add drums, or make a video of me playing the drums or both. Today I acquired two new cymbals, through a Craigslist seller I have previous experience with. This seller has more drum equipment then really any individual I have ever met. Several kits and at least 20-30 cymbals maybe more and everything is for sale. I bought those two cymbals and didnt know the full background except that for my budget they were the best sounding. After I got home I did some research and found not only are they nice cymbals made of an expensive alloy, they are also rare as they were fairly quickly discontinued. BTW they are Paiste Innovations, made of their 2002 alloy. That metal is used on their very expensive cymbals and these have a dark sound and a fast decay. It makes for a great sound, and I hope to use them a lot in the near future.
