The newly redone pedal board is packed and ready to go.  The tilt stand for my amplifier is ready to go too.  Now I just have to hope my hand stops hurting.  Fingers crossed.

I have a band practice tonight.  I have a few things to do before hand.  I have things to get done so that I can be ready.  Practice, learn a couple of riffs, work on the new pedal board set up.  Stuff like that, ya know?

But Jen and I are binge watching The League and I am so busy laughing that I can’t bring myself to practice.

Priorities, right?

Today we faced a hard truth.  We’ve faced it before, but each time it’s just a little annoying.

Grocery shopping while on weight watchers is more expensive than the junk food filled alternative.

We can’t just buy cheap crap to eat.  We have to buy good stuff and eat right.  It’s a conspiracy, I tells ya!  Well… if I lose 200 pounds it will be worth it.

Here’s to grocery shopping!

Our front yard is a slushy swamp. 

 

Last night my wife asked if it was time to go back to Weight Watchers. I said a very emphatic yes. It’s the only thing that ever helps me lose weight. When I’m going to meetings my weight goes down. When I try anything else besides going to meetings my weight either stays the same, or more often goes up. Yes, it’s time to get back on the wagon.

At the time we had this discussion I had a bottle of coke with me. When I got home I sat down at my desk, pulled the bottle out of my backpack, and proceeded to drink the whole thing down. It was symbolic. The last coca~cola. Hopefully it’s the last one ever, but I know that’s not true. Let’s instead say it’s the last one I’ll have for the foreseeable future.

They told us it was going to rain today.

Does that look like rain to you?

I hate snow!!!

Is this a sequel?  Is it some sort of companion?  How is 10 Cloverfield Lane related to Cloverfield?  I MUST KNOW!!!

I just had the rearranged pedal board up and running.  I need a few converters because three of the pedals don’t have the right plug for the DC power supply.  Other than that, and possible tweaking the signal path in one spot, it’s good to go.

I was never much of a David Bowie fan.  He did so many different things over the years that something is bound to work for just about everyone.  I liked Ziggy quite a bit, and Tin Machine was cool.  Their live record was a flop but I loved it. Also let’s face it.  He put Rick Wakeman on the map.  In my book that makes him a superstar for ever.

Being that I play in a cover band it seems the obvious move is to play one of his songs as a sort of memorial.  I threw out the idea of Suffragette City.  66.6% of the other band members have given the okay.  Just one more to go.
