After both artists had played their respective sets they came back out together and eventually closed with a raucous cover of "Enter Sandman". I'm a big Satriani fan; on Vai's set what really set me off was the thunder of the gods coming from bassist Phil Bynoe's 6 string MusicMan Bongo:

I’m chaperoning a field trip with about 250 middle schoolers to Busch Gardens and words can’t describe how much fun I’m having.

Finished installing all the goodies on the 'ole Stang after having heads rebuilt. Seems to run much better, but I've only put about 10 miles on it.

Is that a quiet vortex or is it a loud one?

Quiet one.
It's actually a Paxton (Novi 2000).
Has helical internal gears, so it's quieter than the loud straight cut gears.

Sorry, when I see a supercharger on a Mustang.I automatically assume it is a vortech unless it's a GT350 or that era of the 60's

No worries.
Vortech owns Paxton now, so you aren't too far off.
Also, if you place the product lines side-by-side, they have a lot of overlap.

Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?
I broke out the pressure washer and garden hoses for the first time this year to see if the PW pump had survived winter in the unheated shed
I used Sta-Bil PW pump winterizer last fall and was really worried about it since I had never used it before
I didn't need to be worried, it worked as advertised, and the PW was none the worse for wear
I tore all the guts out of my gas grill and sprayed them and the rest of the grill down with Spray 9 and agitated with a parts cleaning brush and used the turbo nozzle on the PW and everything came pretty darn clean
They extended the deadline for swapping out studded tires until May 15th but I think we are over the hump so I am going to get on cleaning and sealing my summer sets and getting them changed out over the next few days
I will give the arches and everything a good once over while I am at it

Nice weather today, although we had some fog this morning, but it turned into beautiful 24C/75f afternoon, so lawn mowing time. Filled the catcher to the brim, the clippings even kept the internal lines of the mower.

Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?
Helping my longest-term customer do a tip run this afternoon, who's now vision impaired, he started asking about my cars, in particular the "blue Falcon". Of course, the topic brough up comments about inline 6's, which led onto a car he used to own, a BMW E36 328i.
I remember that car very well because when I first started working for them, I would always take out my earphones to listen to the exhaust on start-up, a beautifully rich BMW inline 6 rasp, then as it drove off down the street. It always made me smile.
It also made me smile when my customer spoke about the car today, clearly it left an impression on him. That particular E36 328i was a sedan in Arctic Silver Metallic with the M-sport suspension, wheels and body enhancements. He proudly told me of doing 250 kph (155 mph) in that car and of how well it drove. He replaced that car with two first gen BMW X3's, followed by a string of Subaru's. What we universally agreed on was how BMW are not what they used to be.
Naturally, I had to see if a 142 kW 2.8-litre 328i could do 250 kph, just.......................
Compare that to a modern 4-cylinder 328i, faster but no thanks...............
