We’ve had to drive into Boston on each of the last three days. Not for visits but for computer component reasons.
Still… I love my city.

A few pics from outside of the restaurant we went to for lunch today.
Project
Jen and I worked on a project today.

You know that song about loving that dirty water? This is the water they were talking about. It’s not as dirty as it used to be though.
Casual
It’s casual snuggle time for Miss Lily.
What you looking at, red head?
No! Stop!
The calendar says it’s still summer for a few more days at least.
Stop this autumn crap, right now! Right! Effing! Now!
Out and About
Got a haircut. It was inexpensive and I got what I paid for. As usual.
I declared that today will be a sugar free bakery cookie day. Probably just before bed.
Also, for schnitzengiggles, the downtown clock. Why not?
And a bonus clock because I was stopped at the light.
Duplexiversary
On this day in 2008, 16 years ago, Jen and I moved in together. We rented a duplex in Methuen that had three bedrooms. Well… one bedroom might have started it’s life as a big closet, but it was a bedroom in theory by the time we moved in.
I don’t have a lot of pictures of the building. Why? I have pictures of people hanging out in various rooms, but very few of the external. The only good one I could find is actually the back of the house. The left half of this building was our half.
Note, the neighbors who lived in the right half of the duplex had access to that third floor, and rumor has it there was a hot tub up there. We didn’t have any access to the third floor at all. I think it was actually the attic. The other tenant also had a lot more basement space, but what we had was enough. I recorded a lot of RPM Challenge stuff in that tiny little basement space.
We moved in on April 19th. One month and one day later I proposed to Jen, right there in that tiny little back yard by that very gas grill.
Good times. Good times.
Which Guitar?
I have two musical goals for tonight after work.
First: Put together a playlist of the songs on our potential-singer-audition-songs list so that I can start practicing the holy hell out of them.
Second: Decide which guitar I want to use for the band’s come back work. As of right now I am leaning toward the birthday Les Paul that my wife bought me for my 50th birthday almost three years ago. I’ve been playing the two 70’s Gibsons that I had all of the repair work done on since November or so, but I think I want to start the return-to-the-band process with my newest guitar.
Whatever guitar I decide to use for the band’s comeback (which is scheduled to start this coming Sunday) is going to need new strings. I have a couple of boxes here, but I might need to order some more from the Amazonians today. We’ll see.
It’s time to start focusing on getting the band running again. I’m mentally ready for it, but not quite ready from a guitar playing ability standpoint. I have a lot of rust to shake off.
These are pictures I took for today’s photo a day challenge, but they are not the guitar I am talking about. Oh well.
Digicams
Two days in a row my photo a day pic has been taken with an old point and shoot digital camera. What is commonly known by the trendy YouTube photography folks as digicams. Look at me being all trendy and shit.
