well. For music I listened to sorae obscure works by Gabriel Fourd. 
real restless at midnight so I wrote this and finally hit the sack. 
17 August 1964 : Larry went out to Dr. Ely's to drop off some skins. I 
woke up pretty late ate and decided to write some letters. Larry came back 
and went swimming with Anne. Early in the afternoon I was going to turn the 
Corvair in to get another car because the clutch was practically gone. But 
I couldn't even get the transmission going because of the bad clutch. So I 
/ 
cgot Larry and we pushed the car down the main streets to the Car Rental place* 
We got a red Simea and we pushed the Corvair down to another parking lot. 
When we got back X decided to go out for something to eat. I relaxed a while 
when I got back. In the evening I skinned two young Sooty Terns which came 
out pretty well. I finally hit the sack around 0100. 
18 August 1964- : We got up relatively early (0930). We started skinning 
since we wanted to do around a dozen birds today. Starting at 1030 I finished 
my first one (a young Sooty) around 1:00. A young Noddy took me until 4:30. 
Oh in the morning I drove over to Ely's to pick up some dowels, whirl paks 
and large styrofoam freezer. After the Noddy I dressed to go out, just to 
get out of the hotel room. I started driving and suddenly saw two tickets 
under the windshield wiper. One was for parking out of my stall, and the 
other was for not having the registration in view. For the former I had my 
tail hanging over the white line, but recognized I was illegal because I was 
the second car in a one car stall. The other mystified me because I didn't 
know that, the registration had to.be out in the open. Besides, that was the 
Car Rental's responsibility not mine. I drove up to the University Library
