I failed to record guitars this morning, but I didn’t fail tonight. I know I wrote the wrap up post for last night today, so you’re getting a second wrap up post. Confusing? Maybe. Do I care? Not really.
I mixed a song this morning but you know that because I posted it even though it was crap. Tonight I put both rhythm and lead guitars onto two songs, and then put leads onto two more. Not the most impressive haul, but not bad given the total failure of my original plans.
Photos for fun.
There are two things that would have saved this shit photo.
Sunlight
Blue sky
I am so sick of cloud coverage.

Miss Lily Pad:
I have been meaning to do this for weeks, and I was planning on doing it over the weekend, but I decided I couldn’t wait any longer and did it today.
The Miss Patches Memorial has been placed in the little flower garden spot in the front yard. It doesn’t have any flowers, but it might someday. Now Patches can visit the outdoors instead of just looking through the window all the time.
Guess what I didn’t get to this morning before work.
I managed to finish my daily exercise, watch this week’s new episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (excellent!), and finish the Library episode of Doctor Who that I started last night but fell asleep during the second episode.
No music though, so the morning goes down in the books as a failure.
This was the scene when I got home from work tonight. Take a load off, Lily.
“Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty, Little Ball of Fur. Happy Kitty, Sleepy Kitty, Purr Purr Purr.”
I worked in this building for a few years starting back in 2004. The view is pretty nice. Today was the first time I had been there since pre-Covid. I wouldn’t mind working in this building again except that we have two buildings that are a bit closer to home. This one is pretty far away.
I snuck out for some more singing in the car this morning. I only had three songs ready to go and I finished all of them. That’s two days in a row. Can you believe it? Now I have to start writing lyrics again. Ugh.
The view from the “studio” today:
Obligatory clock pic from the drive home:
Finally, when I got home I saw this. The fire hydrant in our front yard is in a bag. There is writing on the bag that you can’t see here that says leak detection test, or something like that. Interesting? Maybe. Maybe not.
I put rhythm guitars on three songs today, and lead guitars on two. I went direct, even though it’s not nearly as much fun as using a speaker. Oh well. I could hear Jen talking on the phone upstairs when I started playing and I didn’t want to disturb her. I figured I’d be a nice guy and keep things quiet.
Between the weather and my schedule I am completely cock blocked from shooting film.
I just wanna go outside and shoot some damn film!
