Didn’t sleep worth a hoot last night. Woke at 12:15ish and stayed in bed until 1:25 before getting up to read until just before 3 and up again at 6:35. Dunno if it’s a different traffic noise, lights, or something else but just couldn’t sleep.

We had started pulling tables from the shipping container when Mel arrived. He helped us set them up, put the American Flag covers on them, and outlined how to organize our fireworks. Before starting on those we walked a block down the street to a local coffee shop/deli… which wasn’t open. Good for them, closed for the holiday weekend, but a shame we didn’t get to try them out. Across the street is Fry’s groceries (which is just a rebranded Kroger) so we walked over there and picked up a couple of items before heading back home for lunch.

After lunch, we pulled boxes of fireworks from the shipping container and had them in a rough order by type and size by the time Mel returned. He helped us set up a couple of displays, dropped off a few miscellaneous items, and headed on to the next lot.

I run down to the hardware store for some odds-n-ends and pick up coffee for Ashley and gas for the generators on the way back.

It was cold and windy all day long. Putting the table wrapping on was an absolute pain, as was hanging the sides on the tent. I’m worried that half of the displays we set up will be scattered across the lot in the morning.

 Finally wrapping up at 8:30, we headed inside for some heat and supper. Don’t feel like cooking, though, so I run down to Chipotle and get some burrito bowls for supper. Tasty and quick!
