Nothing to Say
Iโm down to the final minutes of my lunch break on this fine Friday afternoon. I am pretty exhausted from a lack of sleep over the pastโฆ month(s) but Iโm hanging in there. I had some Purdue Popcorn chicken and some peanuts and some sugar free Hershey bites for lunch. I really want a drink of water but I still have to wait the better part of an hour before I am clear to drink anything. Thatโs a gastric bypass patient thing. If you know, you know.
Fed Ex delivered a package today. I am not home to get it, but it contains a new guitar pedal. If I read the amazon shipping notes correctly, itโs a compressor pedal. The first Iโve ever purchased. I have this weird idea of using cleaner guitar sounds for this yearโs RPM Challenge in February and a compressor will be a part of that. I bought an MXR Dyna Comp because itโs super simple and it will let me squash my clean signal down to a delightfully mushyโฆ mush. There are two more pedals coming over the weekend. One is a Flanger, the other is an Amp Sim. I donโt have room on my pedal board for any of these kiddos and I donโt have open slots on my power brickโฆ so I am going to need to get creative, I think. It should be fun. I donโt think I bought a single guitar pedal during all of 2024. I know I bought a couple of microphones for band practices that havenโt actually happened yet, but no pedals.
There are a lot of tentative plans for the weekend. We may be messing with our living room and we may be going to some stores for research purposes. I hope to spend some time wandering around town taking pictures with my new/possibly antique (though probably not) camera. I got a gift card for the sugar free bakery in Salem, NH for xmas. I havenโt bought anything from them in about a month, but now I am definitely going back and getting some cookies. Good stuff.
What elseโฆ I thought there was something elseโฆ One of our cars is going to get a break job. That wasnโt the thing that I am forgetting thoughโฆ am I going to go shopping for a new iPhone? Thatโs definitely on the to-do list before we go to Florida at the end of the month, but is it this weekend? I donโt know.
I have to start practicing the guitar. The band is hoping to reconvene (hopefully for real this time) at some point after this weekend. I need to get ready for that. Which guitar should I bring to the first practice? Probably the Les Paul Standard that my wife got me for my 50th birthday in 2021. I really dig that guitar.
I know I had something else I wanted to write about but it has slipped my brain entirely. Donโt get old, kids. This is what happens to you when you get old. Stay young for as long as you can. Unless youโre already old like me in which caseโฆ sorry, folks. We had a good run, Iโm sure.
