2026 50/90 Challenge Day 40/90

I went a little berserk on day 40.

I’m not supposed to exercise following the tooth extraction fiasco so when I woke up I immediately started recording vocal tracks. Why not, right? I had nine songs in progress and all of them were ready for vocals. I didn’t expect to get to all of them, but I wanted to get a chunk of it done. I did not expect that singing would cause pain at one of the tooth extraction points (mostly the socket that used to hold the lower left wisdom tooth) but it did. I pushed through it though and managed to crank out six of the nine songs. Six! Crazy!

But wait, there’s more!

Last night after dinner my wife had to work for a while so I was left to my own devices. I was planning to spend a little time before work one day 41 adding lead guitars to some of newly recorded vocal songs but instead I went down cellar to the music nook and started adding lead guitars last night. I once again plowed through all six songs. Six! Crazy! My finger tips were a raw, horrid, mess by the time I was done, but I got through all of the songs that were ready for leads.

I guess now day 41 is going to be a day to do some mixing. We’ll see.

Yup, it Still Works

I’m so happy that my silly little point and shoot camera still works on day two. I haven’t broken this one yet. Sigh of relief.

I’m also pleased that my car has an inspection sticker (the last one expired two months ago and I just got around to it today) and I was able to play some guitar today. I am not happy about how the lack of calluses on my left hand fingertips results in HUGE pain when I play, but I will rise above that little hiccup.

Of my four electric guitars, my SG is probably the last one I go to but that doesn’t mean I don’t love it.

Commute

Wednesday is my in-the-office day. I took my photo a day pic while stopped in a traffic jam. You know, like ya do.

I took a couple of alternates too. Looking back now I think the alternates look better… but the one I picked for the photo a day had a bridge in it so… yeah, winner.

I Want an X-Wing

If I could have any ship from Star Wars as a personal ride, I would probably chose an X-Wing. Only because I am not a gear head and I think Millennium Falcon maintenance would likely be beyond me.

This post is just an excuse to post another film shot because I am anxiously awaiting an email saying that the two rolls of film I shipped to the lab last week are done. That’s all this is. Also, X-Wings are cool.
