Chilling at home.. 51 hours to get there

Shannon Roddy gets the champion of the year award for driving with me 51 hours straight to Massachussets from LA with the company Sprinter van. It was probably the coolest accomplishment i have ever done besides skydiving. Luckily I get to fly back since the van is going out on tour. 51 more hours would most likly send me into lunicy.

So I just talked to my Grandfather from my dads side of the family. Unfortunatly he has alzheimers. It was so good talking to him. He has always been that grandfather who has lived super far away, so i havn't got to talk to him much. It was so sad because half way through the conversation he started calling me Jack (my dad) and how it was so nice to hear from me. I think i need to call him more often. I never really did get to connect with him and from what my dad tells me, he tells great stories.. For example he has this whitty sense of humor. Like when i told him i drove across country, he said " yea and i hear that takes a few gallons of gas" so then we started talking about gas prices, and he told me he used to buy gas for 19 cents a gallon, and then he was like "then they upped it to 20 cents.. and we all went crazy" haha .. what an amazing guy. Its too bad he isn't a believer.. so if your a praying person, please lift up my Grampa Deardorff.

Like i said before I am In Mass now with my folks taking a little time off while doing a lot of work as well. I also got to record my brothers band when i wasn't working. We are doing a new EP with three of their newest songs. We got most of the tracking done but still need to record some screaming and some trombones. Its been a fun process but a tiring one. It has been nice to get away for a little bit.

Did everyone hear about the hurricane taking over new orleans? Its pretty intense, they are asking new orleans residents to evacuate as the city could be under water in the next day or so .

So today topic for the comments board.... What is worse ? A hurricane, tornado, earthquake or flood?
