Optical Illusion

Nope. It’s not snowing on April 16th. It is totally an optical illusion.

Fail Averted

I’m not doing a photo a day thing. I did one from September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020.

Success.

It’s just that once I finished I kinda forgot to stop. So from September 1, 2020 through April 11, 2021 I had a photo each day. Crazy.

When I woke up on the 13th I realized that I forgot to take a picture on the 12th. Fail. It’s okay because I am not actually doing a photo a day.

A few minutes ago I opened up Flickr and watched the last couple of days worth of pics upload. Much to my surprise there were two from the 12th. I took ‘em and forgot about ‘em. So I’m still on track for the photo a day I’m not actually doing. Cool!

The picture I took and forgot about was of a little gift an instacart shopper left for us. Thanks for keeping me on track!

Earth X

The Flash binge watch has reached the Crisis on Earth X crossover and Patches hates nazis both fictional and non-fictional.

Who Shot First

Han didn’t shoot first, I did, ya filthy animal.

Farm Boy

Jen said she needed to go to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters. She said it with authority though, she didn’t sound whiney at all.

No Top Wrap

I put strings on the SG today. As part of my jonzing for a Les Paul Junior I was thinking about top wrapping. That’s where you put the string through the tail piece backward and then wrap the string over the top of it. For Les Paul Juniors (and standards from 1953-1955, I think) the tail piece is also the bridge so top wrapping is required.

For guitars that have a separate bridge, like all three of my Gibsons, it’s not necessary but I thought what the hell. I did it for one string and then stopped. I would have needed to lower the tail piece for it to work and I didn’t want to do that today. I keep the tail low on the other two Gibsons. Maybe I’ll try it on one of those.
