Out of Ideas

I have just over a month to go before I finish my fifth consecutive photo-a-day-for-a-year challenge over on Flickr.

Five years with at least one snap a day. That’s a long time.

So… is today’s photo proof that I am completely out of ideas?

Or, is it just proof that I currently have no facial stubble? I’m not sure.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 26/90

As expected, day 26 was pretty light on progress. I mixed two songs. That brings the count up to 14 songs finished. 14 down, 36 to go. 28% complete. There is still a chance that I may be able to get to 20 before the month of July ends. That would be a double album’s worth of music by RPM Challenge standards. That would be a happy thing.

The Cats are Hiding

I wanted to take a picture of a cat for today’s photo a day thing. Unfortunately when I took my phone upstairs during my lunch break both cats were hiding and I couldn’t find them. I guess we’ll have to settle for a Hipstamatic shake-to-shuffle of a guitar… again.

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad

Today would have been my parents’ 57th wedding anniversary. Instead it is the second wedding anniversary since my mother passed away. It’s a sad day, but it’s also a happy day. I need to call my father and just tell him I love him.

Credit where credit is due, my cousin Erin took these two photos at my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary party back in 2017. Thanks, Erin!

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 25/90

Day 25 was pretty sweet. I worked on 8 songs in total. One got rhythm guitars, and seven got lead guitars. Two of those lead guitar songs also got mixed and moved into the finished songs bucket. The total count of finished songs is up to 12. Only 38 to go.

Day 26 (today) is a Monday… so back to work… which means less time for music. Here’s hoping I can still make a nice dent. There are three more days left in July (including today). Could I get the finished song count up to 20 before the month ends?
