Last weekend when we set the clocks to daylight savings time I missed a clock. Tonight I took it off the wall and I scared the living shit out of the cat.
She hid behind the coffee table thing and was practically shivering in fear.
Shortly after that she let me take this so I guess we are good.
Patches wants to wish you all a Happy St Patrick’s Day.
The second consecutive Covid-19 Pandemic edition of St Patrick’s Day. Don’t be stupid. Stay home.
Look how good Jen made it look!
More kitchen changes? No… you’re not serious.
Yes. We are serious.
BOOM!
A new cabinet with a counter top and a peg board to hang utensils and pots and shit.
Drywall mounts, a stud finder, a drill (two different bits). All sorts of construction worker stuff.
I was terrified of all of it and now that we’re done I’m still terrified of all of it. Yikes!
I took this picture yesterday with dispo because I don’t know why I use dispo but I still do and it bugs me a little but that’s irrelevant.
What was I saying? Oh yes. I took this picture yesterday when I was thinking about how I want to play guitar more than I do.
This Tascam US-16×08 is one of the great unsung heroes of the Covid-19 pandemic for me. This is the interface I use to record guitar parts. I used it for vocals a couple of times too, but for car music I use a different interface. That’s another pandemic hero, but this guy… this guy has been a huge part of me recording about 130531531 songs over the last year.
I bought it to record Lizardfish rehearsals because if I mic up all of the instruments we need a ton of inputs and this can handle 16 at once (only 8 mic cables though, I need xlr to 1/4 inch adapters if I need more). I took it home before the last gig, though I don’t really remember why. I think I was considering recording the 2/1/20 gig. I didn’t though.
Larry and I were looking at digital mixers on amazon yesterday. We were talking about a really nice one that runs about $2k. That would be awesome to have, but it’s overkill for me. I just need the interface. GarageBand handles the mixing. Still… the thing was really cool. I can’t start GASing about PA gear though. I do that enough for guitar and camera gear. I can’t make it worse. Nope, can’t do it.
Anyway, three cheers to this 16 channel USB audio interface. You’re doing good work, my friend, and I am glad I bought you.
I was trying to talk to my parents on the phone and Patches just wasn’t having it. She demands nothing less than my full attention.
Spring hasn’t sprung yet, but it is springing.
I think I say this every year, but maybe this year I’ll get new bird feeders. Maybe this year I’ll just get a second double post with a second squirrel baffle and a second pair of feeders and feed twice the number of birds.
Probably not, but maybe.
Jen made waffles and they were delightful.
Saturday’s are pasta days in our house. Well… today is, at least.
The trivets are for the garlic bread when it comes out of the oven. They are new. They are also blue. How do you spell trivet anyway?
