The EHX and DoD pedals are now powered by the brick.  There is still one open space, but otherwise the board is done.

I finally saw the episode of Parks and Recreation where Letters to Cleo played Pawnee. It was so cool.

But that wasn’t USA Mike on lead guitar, it was Dave Gibbs of the Gigolo Aunts! Did I really see that? Was that real? Is the universe spinning out of control?

They are working on a new EP though, and USA Mike is is playing on that. End of the world avoided. Whew!

Starting to worry that it really is time for those bifocals.  My eyes are tired all the time.  Seeing clearly should not wipe me out as much as it does.

You would be amazed by the number of people who ignore this sign.

The Red Sox trail the Yankees 2-0.  I could really go for a Sox rally right now.

When I came home from work the bird feeder was still up.  It was mobbed with birds.  So many that they were fighting over perch space.  I took a few pics with my D90 but I’m just too sleepy to unload the memory card.

I did something today that all the yuppies are doing.  Wait, is yuppie still a thing?  Anyway, I used a standing desk.  Meaning I raised my desk up so that I could work standing up.  Did it do anything for me?  I have no idea.  It’s possible though that the time I spent standing, somewhere between 60 and 90 minutes, was my most productive stretch of the day… Though I’m not positive the two things are related.

I feel like I spend most of my kid time waiting outside of their karate school.  They are always there.  In fact, I’m in the parking lot as I type this.

Busy weekend ahead.  I’m hoping to get a little guitar practice in, but it’s going to be tough.

And in closing, the Red Sox just tied the game. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have an important announcement to make.

The bird feeders are still up!

I repeat, the bird feeders are still up!

The deer did not knock over the pole last night, and the feeders themselves are still mostly full. One of them shows a noticeable drop in bird seed volume from yesterday morning, but I think that’s because the big blue jays spent most of the day mowing down. I still see no evidence that any squirrel pricks have made it around the squirrel proof baffle.

Thus concludes this morning’s special announcement. Carry on with your regularly scheduled schedule and have a lovely day.

Three times today I looked out the back windows and saw a squirrel try to get to the bird feeders. I watched the little rodent bastards climb up the new pole to just below the anti-squirrel baffle, stop, think about it for a few seconds, then turn around and climb back down.

The thing actually works*!!!!

*It works for now. I fully expect the squirrels to find a way around it, and I expect it to happen tonight. Possibly before the sun goes down. At least before the deer come out and just knock over the pole.
