Some mornings call for a proper breakfast.

Cloudy days with Mae.

Synth player gives you freshly grown chilis, you make salsa.

Not shown: many pedals not currently on the board, though I am actively swapping things in and out.

All-American in Massapequa remains the fast food burger and fries (and shake, and onion rings, and hot dogs, and knishes) that tastes the way you think fast food burgers and fries taste.

With my window wide open all night, the CO2 in my office remains quite high. It’s a small bedroom, so now I’m wondering if I should install active ventilation in this vent? Any good options?

I am so close to done, but I cannot get the board to slide down all these pins at once. So many pins to align on a PCB board. I have the legs just poking through.

It works!

How badly did I screw this up?

Cool action shot that just got shared with me from last week’s show.

My pedalboard keeps changing.

Swapped out the Benson Preamp for an Angry Driver today.

New Guitar Day: not what I expected to say the least.

2021 Les Paul Standard in Honey Burst with a 60s neck

Figured I’d take a guts shot while changing tubes.

This is what happens when you stay up past your bedtime.

Look at this scruff. A real dog-shaped dog.

Nepenthe had a great deal on beer. I can’t believe I got this six pack for $10.

My nephew is quite pleased to have a someone working away in his home office while he sleeps in his favorite spot.

I’m begging coffee shops to sell half pastries. This is too much. But half…

State of the Board for one day only as I punch in a part from home.

Welcome to the family, Mae!

I am very not good at this new thing I’m trying.

This Memorial Day involved a bunch of random activities. Including:

Setting up a new electronics work station

Who knows if this hobby will stick? But I’ve decided it’s time to get to work on a breadboard and with a soldering iron. I’m hoping to build some guitar pedals as a starting point. Send me your fun electronics project ideas!

Power Washing

I haven’t properly cleaned this deck since we moved in almost 8 years ago. It’s way past time. I spent over an hour, and there’s still so much more to do. Also, there are so many wasps out there.

Ribs

When Whole Foods has ribs on sale for Memorial Day weekend, you make some ribs.

Misc.

We watched the first two episodes of The Last of Us Season 2. It’s… fine.

I played a lot of guitar.

We looked at a lot of dogs to adopt.

Solid pre-guitar shopping food.

I figured I should share my “current family” of guitars (messy room, sorry) after writing about what I tested.
