Grocery Fail and the Clock at Night

I went grocery shopping for some turkey day supplies today. The jar of mini onions leaked all over the place, the bowl of diced watermelon leaked all over the place, and one of the packages of pudding wasn’t sugar free. Motherpussbucket.

At least I got two bad night time pictures of the down town clock. One coming and one going.

I was left pretty annoyed by the whole trip. Stupid leaky groceries.

My Guitar is Home!

I went to the guitar shop at lunch. I made excellent time despite a road closure somewhere in Andover, MA.

I played my newly refretted guitar with its new bridge and its new nut and my first impression is that it still feels pretty good. The frets are a lot higher than I’m used to on this guitar, but not too different than a couple of other guitars. The action is a little higher than it used to be, I think, but it’s still super low the way I like it. It felt good. First impression, again, is that I am really happy.

I took my guitar home!

What do you think, beautiful, eh?

Dig those new frets again!

He did mention that a couple of the inlays on the neck popped out while he was removing the old frets. That happens. He fixed them. That’s good. I didn’t see anything and I couldn’t feel any difference during my quick inspection. All in all… happy. Can’t wait to get the band back together so I can play this babie at practice and wind up the volume and let it loose. Anyone know anyone who lives near Haverhill, MA who can sing and wants to join a dad-rock cover band?

Today’s Daily Writing Prompt Revisited

I answered today’s daily writing prompt this morning before work, as I normally do. Now I am going back to it with a second post. This isn’t really about writing, it’s just an excuse to post pictures.

What is good about having a pet?

The answer is simple: Cuteness overload.

Miss Lily Pad
Miss Robin Sparkles

I mean, really… what more do you need? Go adopt a cat or two. Or three. Meow, babie.

Out and About

I went to the drugstore today and got myself a couple of vaccine shots. I got a flu vaccine and a shingles vaccine. I’m still not far enough removed from my Covid-19/Disney World experience to need a Covid booster, so I’ll probably get one of those next month.

I drove through downtown so here is the obligatory clock/downtown pics. You’re welcome.

On an unrelated note, the guitar shop posted some more photos of my guitar today. I think it’s done. New bridge, new frets, new nut. Here’s hoping I get another phone call from them tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
