Stop watching Beerfest and pet me! Said the kitty.  She was most insistent, don’t you know.

I filled the feeders on Thursday and they were empty on Sunday.  I’d blame the deer except that the little sparrows seem to be flocking around 24/7.  

Also, how long before they eat through the string and turn the new thing into squirrel food?

There is a gelato place in Methuen!

It’s five minutes from home!

It’s so good!

And it’s in Methuen!!

Here we see the mighty Atlantic Ocean, the second biggest puddle on Earth, presented as if it were a scene in a cliched action movie.

Slow Motion!

It was foggy and cloudy at the ol’ Atlantic Ocean today, but still wonderful.

Our impromptu road trip’s second stop was The ocean near Hampton Beach.

We went on an impromptu road trip that took us first to Boston…

Once again, I have defeated my blood enemy.  Victory is mine!

Oh, how I hate you.  My enemy.  My nemesis.  Evil incarnate.

Everyone says that if you play through a muff style pedal you have to find a way to boost the mid range frequencies or else you’re getting lost in the mix. Many people recommend putting the fuzz after an overdrive or a clean boost. Well, I have an overdrive.

This particular setup sounds okay through my Fender Deluxe Reverb at low volumes. Not perfect, but not bad.

Will that work through my noisy Marshall on Sunday? I guess we’ll have to see.

The OCD would stay on all the time. The Bass Muff would be for rhythm. The white Muff would be for leads, and as you can see the volume knob is up higher than the green Muff.

I was also hoping this would cut down on some of the really bad hum I’m getting through my NYC Muff at band practice. The Nano was okay, noise wise, before, but today with this setup it there was a lot of noise. It could be that I was using a power supply instead of a 9v battery. It could also have been the noisy lights in the cellar. Not sure. We’ll see how it flies on Sunday.

Maybe my next pedal will just be an EQ.
