Goodbye Carwash

I was surprised by a loud clanging yesterday morning, and Dawn and I discovered that two guys were taking apart the gas station's carwash. This thing was old and derelict, and held together with duct tape I think. I thought they were just fixing it again, but by early afternoon they were cutting the cement with what looked like a gas powered table saw on wheels, and they had the entire circuit board from the inside of the carwash laying on the ground. Then finally, at about 7 pm or so, I heard a loud bang from outside. I was laying some bass tracks at the time, but even with my headphones on and music playing, the noise was loud. I quickly looked outside fearing for my life, and it turned out to be a crane with a grabber pulling the carwash off the ground and onto its side. They then proceeded to cut the carwash a bit, and finish it off by letting the crane rip it apart and load it into the back of a truck. I got a few photos and some good audio. Hopefully the carwash will stay gone, though I seriously doubt that it won't be replaced by a new, louder one. And they're still cutting cement around where it was, which is louder than the carwash could ever have been. Aah life at a gas station.

Recordings continue, though today I forgot to take the power cord for the laptop that makes up the core of my recording gear, so we didn't get much of that done today. So Jordan and I had ourselves a lengthy practice, going over vocals and such. Pretty productive actually. Though I'm still fairly mad at myself for forgetting the damn thing. Oh well.
