Tremolo Maintenance for my Stratocaster

A little teeny tiny part of me is thinking about playing my Strat at tomorrow’s band practice. It would be nice if I could use the tremolo though. We have a song that includes a dive bomb, and it would be cool to actually do it up right. Unfortunately, my tremolo blows the guitar so far out of tune it’s useless.

So off to youtube I go! I think I might try the tips in this video. Probably not the graphite or oil stuff, but the floating bridge stuff sounds like a good idea. If it keeps me relatively in tune, that would be all kinds of aces.

Movie Night

My step daughter is out with friends. My wife is doing something awesome. My step son and I? Well, we’re having a mega Marvel Movie Night.

We’re on AntMan right now. Avengers 2 was on earlier. What next? I’m voting for either Guardians of the Galaxy or the Winter Soldier.

NHL Third Round Predictions

Prediction wise, it’s back to reality. In the first round I picked the winning team in six of eight series. In the second round… two of four. That’s eight out of 12 total and if you do the math I’m at 67%, babie! Two outa three! Not great, but still pretty good.

I was wrong in the Penguins/Capitals series. I picked the Capitals and once again THEY SUCK LIKE YOU’VE HEARD ABOUT! Damn, you suck, Washington! YOU SUCK. I was also wrong on the Stars/Blues series because the Stars are just assholes. You take Tyler Segiun from us and then you do this? Jerks.

I got the Lightning/Islanders right. Thank you, New York, for losing and doing right by Boston. I was also right about San Jose/Nashville. At least I think I was right because last night was game seven and Nashville didn’t show up at all. Does that mean they’ll have to play it again? Like, the Predators just weren’t in the building at all, so does the game actually count or was that just an internationally televised Sharks practice?

On to the Conference Finals…

The Penguins vs the Lightning. This makes me very sad. Why? Because I loathe the effin’ Penguins and they are going to win. Urgh, talk about crap bag. I hate you, Penguins. I hate you so very much.

In the West it’s The Sharks vs The Blues. Television wise, this is going to lose out to reruns on Home Shopping Network. Could there be a worse match up ratings wise? I guess maybe Florida vs Nashville would be worse, but this is seriously bad. As far as the series is concerned, GO SHARKS, BABIE! When I made my first round picks I said they were winning it all. When I made the second round picks I backed off a little and said they’d win the West but maybe not the Cup. Now? CUP TRAIN! CHOOO CHOOO! Joe Thornton, this is your year! And I am aware that with each excited sentence I write I jinx the Sharks a little more. I’m picking them, so they are losing… but GO SHARKS!

So we’re rooting for a Sharks/Penguins final. Let’s go, and as always remember that if you bet based on my picks you will end up ruined, living on the street, giving hand jobs for cash. You have been warned.

GO SHARKS!

Youtube Failed Me

I saw a woodpecker on the bird feeder a few minutes ago. The first thought that popped into my head was, “If Woody had gone right to the police, this wouldn’t have happened.” Then I realized I couldn’t remember the words to the Woody Woodpecker theme song.

I went to youtube. I found a recording of the theme song, but not one used on the show. Fail. I then searched for the catch phrase and it pulled in a bunch of random episodes and clips. I detoured over to wikipedia and learned that the episode was called Bunco Busters. Back to youtube, only to find that they don’t have it. Double Fail.

Suck It, Clemens!

Did you catch any of the Washington Nationals vs Detroit Tigers game? Max Scherzer, pitching for Washington, struck out 20 Tigers. That ties the major league record for strike outs in a game. I brought up the video on the mlb app with one out in the 9th inning. I watched him get that 20th K and he still had one out left to break the record. James McCann and his stellar .121 batting average had already struck out three times, but he managed to get the ball in play and grounded out on a 5-4 fielder’s choice. Game over, record unbroken.

Still, all I could think as that 20th strikeout went into the books was this:

Suck it, Roger Clemens!

The Flash Meets Clerks

We’re watching last night’s episode of The Flash. It was directed by Kevin Smith and has a cameo by Jason Mewes.

Automatically making it the best hour of television in television history.

Snoochie Boochie’s, Barry Allen!
