Blinds

We bought blinds for the dining room window before the cellar fiasco started. I’m just getting to them today. The window was open and I’m guessing the neighbors were alarmed by the frequency, volume, and sheer viscousness of the swearing they heard coming from inside the house.

Downtown Boston

There are a couple of new high rises downtown. I officially declare the Verizon building fugly.

I took that while stuck in Storrow Drive traffic even though we were like a mile away from Storrow Drive. I also took this…

Walkies

Jen had to run into the mall for a socially distant appointment. I took the opportunity to walk around a square of parking lot. Five minutes later I thought I was going to die. Oh well, baby steps.

Tiny Airplane

Roommates

You can’t really tell from this picture, but we have a new family moving into the house. The space stayed empty last year but someone has finally moved in.

This is a Thing Now?

I took my wife to get her hair cut. I’m hanging in the parking lot watching Solar Opposites on my phone. I got out of the car to stretch my legs and saw this:

There are two discarded masks on the left side of the car, and one on the right. So this is a thing now?

Weird

I’m outside in the world and it’s weird.

My New Best Friend

I just sat in front of the TV, noodling without an amp. Just connecting with the new kid in town.

I love the nickel hardware and I love the trapezoid inlays.

I love the grain on the maple cap. It’s not really enough to call it a flame, I don’t think, but it is freakin’ groovy.

None of my other Gibsons have the little knob position pointer thingies. I can’t remember if my poor, stolen Les Paul Deluxe had them or not.

The back is a different color than my ‘78 Custom. I like the lighter shade this has.

I adore the 50’s style tuning pegs. I think my much missed Deluxe had those. My Custom didn’t (I changed the tuners on the Custom in 2006, I think, and I have no clue if the ones we took off were original or not.
