15 Days
15 Days until we leave for Florida. 14 days until I am on vacation.
As the snow falls on Massachusetts, I am ready to go to Florida now. Why wait, right?
Random Saturday Cats
The Boston Bruins just snapped a six game losing streak by snatching victory from the jaws of defeat with 1.2 seconds left in overtime. Sigh of relief.
Let’s celebrate the win with some random pictures of cats taken at various points across this fine snowy Saturday.
Not Today
I was thinking of taking the new eBay camera out to shoot that long awaited test roll today. Maybe go to the Merrimack River or downtown or Forrest Lake. Anywhere, really.
Nope….
Not today. Friggin’ snow. Mother Nature just hates me, it’s obvious. I still have to go out and run a bunch of errands though. Friggin’ snow.
Regal Part Two
Here’s Lily looking all stately and regal as well (see the post from earlier today to know what I am talking about here). If Robin is queen of the realm then Lily, her daughter, is a princess of the realm.
Regal
Stately Miss Robin Sparkles, looking like the Queen of the Realm that she is.
Something I’m Thinking About
The RPM Challenge is about three weeks away. I’m thinking about what to do as far as guitar gear and I think I have an idea…
I would add a Crybaby wah pedal to this. It would be off the board to the right, but in the signal chain it would come after the Fuzzface and before the Dyna Comp. Pedal chain law requires a Fuzzface to come first. It’s an impedance thing. I’m not an electrical engineer so I don’t really get it, but it’s true. wah->Fuzzface sounds terrible. Fuzzface->wah sounds… okay.
I’ve wired this for power but I haven’t put velcro on the three new pedals. Outside of that and adding the Crybaby, I am all set to try this out… someday. Saturday? Sunday? Someday.
Guitar playing… I haven’t forgotten about you, my friend and favorite hobby and possibly unhealthy obsession. Just need to make some time.
16 Days
16 days until our Florida vacation. Actually… 16 days and a wake up… meaning I think I counted wrong and it’s actually 17 days. Whatever, it’s coming up. Warm weather… I need it. I need it. It’s freakin’ cold in New England!
Play
I didn’t have a chance to play any guitar last night. I didn’t blow off an opportunity, the opportunity just never arose.
This weekend? We’ll see. I need to start preparing my fingers for February’s album-in-a-month challenge. Also, hopefully the band will start practicing again. I have no calluses on my finger tips right now. It’s been almost two months since I’ve played a single note. It’s going to hurt when I start. That’s okay. I will survive. I will persist.
I’m thinking of downsizing the pedal board setup for February. Just to shake things up. We’ll have to see.
It’s time to start playing for real, Robert. Get to it.
17 Days
Florida vacation number one of two is just 17 days away.
Can we go today? Sure, Florida is a cesspool of fascism and evil, but it’s also warm there.
