What the hell, NHL Bro? You started a second round series before the first round is complete? What’s up with that? I was waiting for the score of tonight’s Ducks/Preds game before posting my picks for the second round match ups. Now when I pick the Islanders everyone is going to think I am just picking them because they won game one. Really, I was totally going to pick the Islanders over the Lightning, but now I am going to look like a cheater, just like Tom Brady.

hehe see what I did there? You see? Not much of a football fan, but I can still poke fun at them. Four games over air pressure, and somehow that’s not the dumbest part of the story. The dumbest part of the story is that over a year after the incident they are still talking about it. Gimme a break!

I picked up the Phase pedal last week. It’s a cheap knock-off of the one I have on my pedal board at Mike the Bass Player’s house. Today I got the Vibe pedal. It’s a cheap alternative to one that I have on my pedal board at Mike the Bass Player’s house.

I probably should have noticed when I ordered the Vibe pedal that it doesn’t work off a battery. Aw, crud.

April 27, 2016.  Ice on my car.

Let’s all be glad that the 70’s are over, eh?

Good stuff though.

I started one of those free, silly fantasy baseball teams on yahoo. I do that most years, but this year I have pledged to myself that I am going to pay attention to it and not just give up after a couple of weeks.

I have demonstrated my skill at the game by being in 6th place out of 12 teams after two weeks. Terrible, although my record is 17-13. Oh well.

Today I came home from work, exhausted out of my mind, and checked who I had for tonight’s line up. That’s when it became clear that Baseball, or at least Major League Baseball, hates me and wants my fantasy team to suck.

Five, count ’em, FIVE players on the disabled list. BITE ME!

Major free agency shake ups, including picking up…

…wait for it…

…wait for it…

Rick Porcello!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I suck at fantasy baseball!

Hehe, the Microsoft store.  The clerk was unable to log into the register.  Seriously.

Last year we discovered we had a gopher living in our back yard. Today my wife and I decided that it probably has the thickest Boston accent ever. Like, an accent so thick it’s just wicked pissah.

Just wanted to share that. That’s all. Go back to whatever you were doing.

We dumped cable.  No more cable TV for us.  That poses a problem.  HBO.  The shows on that network often don’t offer season passes on iTunes which means if you don’t have cable you fall way behind.  Fortunately, HBO is the one cable network that understands cable is a relic of the 1980s and is now about as useful as a Blockbuster Video store.  They started an online subscription service called HBO Now.  I just signed us up.  That means I’m ready for tomorrow…

When the new season of Game of Thrones premiers.

Bring it on.

My wife and I were discussing which one of our hobby/habit/addictions was more expensive. Her regularly upgrading her home computer system, or me and guitars and all that go with it. She was talking about how much money she spends on computers, components, and accessories. I then countered with how much I could potentially spend, even though I don’t. I think I win.

I went to ebay to see if I could find The Holy Grail of my personal guitar collection fantasy guitars so that I could blow her mind with the price. Unfortunately ebay doesn’t have any right now. I’m talking about the Gibson Custom Shop’s replica of Eric Clapton’s red ES-335. While there weren’t any of those up for bidding, I did see something else.

Something better…

The Gibson Custom Shop has made a reissue of Clapton’s 1960 Les Paul. The one he used on the Bluesbreakers album!

But how? That guitar was stolen in 1966?

Oh hell, I don’t care. I WANT ONE!!!
