Still No Window Folks

We are scheduled to have some folks stop over today to check on our new windows. Well… they were new a year and a half ago. They were supposed to come out a few weeks after the installation. What’s a few hours more?

Insert very frustrated sighs here.

I have a couple of errands to run that I can’t do until they leave… and it’s almost 11:00 and they still aren’t here. Soon enough I will graduate from frustrated to full on pissed off.

It gave me time to mix a song though. This is song number 40 for the 50 songs in 90 days challenge. I’m 80% finished now.

Oh good. The new song’s player from hearthis.at doesn’t want to embed into this post. Yippee.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 67/90

I put rhythm guitars onto three songs. I really wanted to find the time to do more, but time was not my friend.

I am off work today. We have someone coming to check on our new windows from about a year and a half ago. If he comes early and I have time to do a bunch of errands that I put off all weekend then maybe I’ll be more productive today. Maybe.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 66/90

I made a little progress yesterday (on day 66). I had one song idea that was just a couple of simple bass riffs. I worked that into a full song form. After that I added two more songs. All three have (fake) bass and (fake) drums finished and are ready for rhythm guitars.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 63/90

I put both rhythm and lead guitars onto two songs. They both already had vocals so they are now both ready to mix.

That’s a ton more than I expected to get through on day 63. I’ll take it as a win.

More Playing Time

I was able to sneak in my full day’s worth of exercise after work tonight. It was borderline miraculous and my legs are killing me.

I also snuck in more guitar. I put rhythm tracks onto one song and leads onto two.

Bonus. Now I am going to hang out and wait for my step daughter to come home. She’s on her way.

Bonus indeed!

4/365

Oh yeah, and I also uploaded those photos I forgot to upload this morning before I left for work. That second one is 4/365 for the photo a day thing. Let’s just call it a complete day and pat ourselves on the back a little.

Screwed Up Routine

I overslept a little. I had a bit of an issue first thing. Nothing major, but it threw off my morning routine enough that I dumped the whole deal down the crapper. Instead of doing my 50 minutes or so of morning exercise I did 30 minutes of guitar playing. Bad for the physical health, but good for the mental health… or something like that.

I still managed to mess up the timing a little so that I had to rush through some of the morning routine things that I didn’t skip. I’m in the office today so there’s a bunch of office-day-prep things that need to happen.

I got in on time though, and I wasn’t planning on having time for much on the musical front today and I ended up with a song’s worth of guitar parts recorded. I’ll take that as a win.

I’m off tomorrow for my dad’s wake, but I have the morning to myself. I might get a hair cut. I will definitely iron a couple of dress shirts. I might play a shit load of guitar. I will definitely do about 50 minutes worth of exercise.
