Tyler Lyle

On Friday we hosted the long awaited gig. It was a very long day which started at 6am to begin heating the oven for our bread bake and getting things set up.

After getting cleaned up it was off to the airport to pick Tyler up. On the way back we picked up some Guero Canelo to blow his mind with our local cuisine. Tyler did a few sound checks before the show.

Dana made up the wine list and we were ready for action! Tyler played for almost 2 hrs with about 10min worth of breaks. The time just flew by. I think we could have all listened to him for the whole night. He handled the crowd of people beautifully, being friendly and interested in everyone he spoke to. We had about 40 people in all. With all the stress and expense that went into pulling this off I was worried that we'd be disappointed. I can firmly say that the whole evening surpassed my hopes.

Following the concert a few guys stuck around and we had an informal whiskey tasting. Tyler even brought 5 different bourbons and opened his whole stash for us to partake in. The evening concluded with some Montecristo #2s.

The next morning we sent Tyler off to California with some Los Betos breakfast burritos. This was one of the best nights I can remember.

The Library

We have been busy with some house projects that have been on the list of "to dos" for a while now. The lower living area has been converted into the library complete with ceiling beams.

The beams went in first. They are hollow 4x8" boxes secured to the strips on the ceiling.

Following the beam install we made a second built-in bookshelf.

The finished product! Just waiting for more books!
