As of 8:07pm, my UPS tracking number still says out for delivery for today by 9:00pm. Yesterday they changed the delivery date from 6/22 to 6/23. I expect the same at this point. I could really have used a piece of good news today, even if it was something as stupid and pointless as a 50 pound package from UPS. Pretty safe bet I’m wasting my time and effort. Thanks

Tray Tables
Those are tray tables. They are not a guitar amplifier.
Denied… Again
I heard a sound outside. It sounded like a large vehicle. I looked out the window. There was a UPS truck driving away.
Oh happiness! My amplifier!
I went outside. There was a package. It was large. It weighted about five pounds. What? The amp weighs over 40 pounds.
Crud. It’s not my amp.
Vox-less
There’s me, thinking I’d be recording with a Vox amp tonight. Nope. Still the same Fender. #sadface.
Denied
UPS hasn’t come with my amplifier yet. The tracking number still says Out for Delivery, but the delivery date now says the 23rd. Tomorrow.
Denied!
Don’t Daisy Chain Your Pedals
My new Crybaby wah pedal is on my pedal board. My RYRA Klon Klone and Keeley Blues Driver clone are not. The board is powered by two MXR bricks. The two non-board pedals each have their own plugs.
I was using the two clones, but I wanted to use the crybaby with them and I didn’t have a third plug. I took it off the board and did what you shouldn’t do. I put all three pedals onto a daisy chain. I did leads for one song and then tore it all down.
Don’t daisy chain pedals together. My already noisy rig reached new, previously unimagined levels of awful noise. Just don’t do it.
The crybaby sounded great though.
Happy Fathers Day
Patches wanted to wish all the dads out there a happy Father’s Day, but she doesn’t speak English and she doesn’t have opposable thumbs so I’ll just do it for her.
Happy Father’s Day!
Lowell
I randomly drove through Lowell, MA today. Like ya do.
I Broke My Rule
I broke one of my primary album-in-a-month challenge rules today. Twice. I think I might do it again too.
I mentioned before that I was a little unhappy with the first few rhythm guitar parts I recorded this month. Well, I have a rule that states once a track is done, it’s done. Today I kicked that rule to the curb and re-recorded all of the guitars on songs #1 and 2. I’m just out of control.
I also put lead guitar on both of those songs. That means I have two June songs ready to mix. It’s just crazy!
Car Music: Day Two
I went out to my current car music parking lot of choice again today. That’s two days in a row of vocalizing madness!
I have vocals on nine of the 11 songs now. I was on a roll today and the only reason I didn’t finish off the last two songs was that the lyrics haven’t been written yet.
One item of note…. today is the first day of summer, and car music in summer is a much sweatier experience than car music in winter. Believe me on that one.
In closing, if you were curious, yes I did bring a mask with me…….. four of them.
