I added two new songs. Just MIDI bass and drums but with the full song form. I also mixed one song. The full pipeline is up to 49 now with 40 of them finished. The challenge is 80% complete.

Still No Window Folks
We are scheduled to have some folks stop over today to check on our new windows. Well… they were new a year and a half ago. They were supposed to come out a few weeks after the installation. What’s a few hours more?
Insert very frustrated sighs here.
I have a couple of errands to run that I can’t do until they leave… and it’s almost 11:00 and they still aren’t here. Soon enough I will graduate from frustrated to full on pissed off.
It gave me time to mix a song though. This is song number 40 for the 50 songs in 90 days challenge. I’m 80% finished now.

Oh good. The new song’s player from hearthis.at doesn’t want to embed into this post. Yippee.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 67/90
I put rhythm guitars onto three songs. I really wanted to find the time to do more, but time was not my friend.
I am off work today. We have someone coming to check on our new windows from about a year and a half ago. If he comes early and I have time to do a bunch of errands that I put off all weekend then maybe I’ll be more productive today. Maybe.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 66/90
I made a little progress yesterday (on day 66). I had one song idea that was just a couple of simple bass riffs. I worked that into a full song form. After that I added two more songs. All three have (fake) bass and (fake) drums finished and are ready for rhythm guitars.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 65/90
Nothing.
My father’s funeral took everything I had. I don’t know if today (day 65) will be different or more of the same.
Helpful
Today is going to be a tough day for me.
Fortunately, Mr David Gilmour is here to help.
I’m only a couple of songs in, but so far so amazingly, brilliantly, perfectly good.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 64/90
I put leads on three songs and then went to my father’s wake. The wake has nothing to do with the 50 songs in 90 days challenge, but it does explain why I didn’t get to anything else.
2024 50/90 Challenge Day 63/90
I put both rhythm and lead guitars onto two songs. They both already had vocals so they are now both ready to mix.
That’s a ton more than I expected to get through on day 63. I’ll take it as a win.
More Playing Time
I was able to sneak in my full day’s worth of exercise after work tonight. It was borderline miraculous and my legs are killing me.
I also snuck in more guitar. I put rhythm tracks onto one song and leads onto two.
Bonus. Now I am going to hang out and wait for my step daughter to come home. She’s on her way.
Bonus indeed!
Oh yeah, and I also uploaded those photos I forgot to upload this morning before I left for work. That second one is 4/365 for the photo a day thing. Let’s just call it a complete day and pat ourselves on the back a little.
Screwed Up Routine
I overslept a little. I had a bit of an issue first thing. Nothing major, but it threw off my morning routine enough that I dumped the whole deal down the crapper. Instead of doing my 50 minutes or so of morning exercise I did 30 minutes of guitar playing. Bad for the physical health, but good for the mental health… or something like that.
I still managed to mess up the timing a little so that I had to rush through some of the morning routine things that I didn’t skip. I’m in the office today so there’s a bunch of office-day-prep things that need to happen.
I got in on time though, and I wasn’t planning on having time for much on the musical front today and I ended up with a song’s worth of guitar parts recorded. I’ll take that as a win.
I’m off tomorrow for my dad’s wake, but I have the morning to myself. I might get a hair cut. I will definitely iron a couple of dress shirts. I might play a shit load of guitar. I will definitely do about 50 minutes worth of exercise.
