Guitar Rig

Okay folks, the guitar gear is setup and ready to record some new music.

I put the new Analog Man King of Tone overdrive pedal onto my stay-at-home pedal board and plugged the whole thing in. I have three amps setup. The Fender Deluxe Reverb will be used when I can make oodles of noise and want to record with a microphone. The other two amps are the Fender Bassbreaker 15 and the cute little Vox MV50. They are both connected to the ABY switch so that I can run them both at the same time, and they are also both plugged directly into the USB audio interface so that I can run direct at times when I cannot make any noise.

Now I just have to actually play. Any minute now, right?

Photo a Day #258/365

I went outside to fill the bird feeders after lunch because lunch made me nauseous and I had to go get some air. Today’s been a smidgen of a roller coaster for the ol’ tummy pouch. I’m okay though. May you live in interesting times, and all that shit.

Errand

I had to run to the store to pick up an online order for my beautiful, brilliant wife. That means I had a few candidates for the photo a day thing that weren’t taken in the cellar next to my desk. Sweet.

Hello and welcome to design a-la 1918 or so.

Wait… I thought that was a three wheeler, but now that I look at it again, is it a bike with a side car?

I was stopped at a left turn light, the blue lights were across the street. It took me four tries to get this without having a car drive through the shot and block everything.

Bird Houses

If you zoom in on this picture you can see some twigs inside of the bird house. It’s awesome.

I have checked on it a couple of times today and I have seen a little sparrow going in and out of the bird house and I love it so much. I don’t imagine I’ll be able to get close enough to see any potential eggs, should the universe dictate that there will be eggs, but I hope I can figure out a way.

Here’s a picture of the other bird house that’s off to the side of our house. If you zoom in on this one you can’t really see anything inside. I can’t tell either way, really, but it looks like this house is still available for rent.

On an unrelated note, here is today’s photo a day selection. It was nice to be able to turn the camera’s ISO setting down from my usual in doors go-to of 3200 to my usual out doors go-to of 100.

Sick Day Cats

Feeling a little better after some food, but a little worse after some water? What the hell, stomach? Anyway, here are two cat pics.

I didn’t sit in front or her, so she didn’t run away. 215/365

I like this one. The point and shoot is often fuzzy in the living room light but this one is sharper on her eyes and that makes me happy.

Photo a Day

Today’s photo a day photo is both cats, taken with my iPhone.

I took two bites of my lunch at about 1:30 and it set off the foamies. DAMN IT. It’s been an hour and I still can’t eat… and I am hungry, and the chicken patty and french fries look and smell sooo good. I am pissed off at myself right now.

The photo a day post is meant to distract myself from being stupid.

Stupid Robert, failing at eating.
