Neck Adjustment

I have been playing guitar since 1986. Today was the first time I adjusted a truss rod myself. Hell, it was the first time I even took off cover.

I think it worked. I had a nasty fret buzz on my ES-335 down around the second fret. I think it’s better now. Crossing my fingers.

I used this video and it was helpful.

Big Day

As a black cat, Halloween is sort of Lily’s big day. She was very fascinated by the door being open but as usual, once the strangers started showing up she was nowhere to be found. She tried her best though. Good job, cat.

Robin also tried to get into the spirit of the day. Mostly showing support for her daughter, like a good parent. She also was nowhere to be found once people started coming by. Oh well. Both of our cats are just wimps, I guess.

The good news from the Trick or Treat experience is that we gave out a shit load of candy. The bad news is that we did not give it all out. I have a few leftover bags. In the pre-gastric bypass surgery world I would have started eating the leftovers by now. Today? Post-surgery? I can’t eat sugar anymore so… I don’t know what’s going to happen to the leftovers. We’ll see the kids in a couple of weeks. Maybe they’ll take it.

Hope your Halloween was a good one. Happy Halloween, everyone.

Stay Focused

I have tomorrow off from work. It’s Halloween. I like taking Halloween off. I don’t have any real reason to take it off, I just like having it off.

I also have a shit load of work to do for a deadline at the end of next week. Like, a literal mountain of paperwork type stuff.

My brain is starting to get into you-have-tomorrow-off-woohoo mode where I am easily distracted by trivial things and lose focus on what I am doing and I start slipping into day off mode early.

I cannot do that today. I cannot. I must not. Too much stuff to do. Too many tasks with a fast approaching deadline. Stay focused, Robert. Keep your nose to that paperwork-grindstone. Don’t let your attention slip!

Oh look, here is a picture of a guitar that I took this morning.

Huh… uh oh.
