What Are You Doing?

Those are quite nice guitars, aren't they? I've heard good things about them, I think.

 

They're awesome.

 

Updating my contact and email info.

 

Good stuff.
The Les Paul I finished building I put Skinny Tops Heavy Bottoms (52-10) on
it, cause they seemed appropriaate for the style. On the Jackson I put Power
Slinkys 7s 58-11.

(Still got a bit of cosmetic cleanup to do, but plays great.)

Doing handsewing on a new nightgown and mulling over the plot of my W.I.P.

 

Wow! You've fixed that? Very nice! I've never tried creating my own.

I initially wanted to put 11-58's. My lazy, out-of-practice fingers and my brain had to find a middle way to satisfy me so I ended up with the 10-52's.

 

I think I downloaded a couple videos from that series recently.

More guitar porn!!

 

I put it together from a parts kit.

Yeah, I would have gone for something thicker string wise, but
most tuning pegs don't like anything heavier than about a 60,
and I like going extra thick 72 or 74 to get that really low chunky
sound. So I compromised and went with the 52-10 and dropped
it down a half step (any more than that and the strings would be
too loose for me).

 

There's also an instrument called "The Bass" you know.
But I know what you mean. One step down is still okay. After that, it's a mess with mine. It could work, but I'd have to reset my guitar to play heavier and I don't want that and that's a perfectly good reason for having at least 2 guitars.

 

Agreed, that is why I have a 6 and 7 depending on how low I want to go.

 

Wondering where that ambulance took my 92-year-old neighbor and if he's coming home again.

 

i'm "celebrating" St. Patty's Day with a pistachio muffin, and wearing green tights

 

is today St. Patrick's day?

 

Do we have to wear tights?

 

Only if you're cool enough

 

Or if you want to LARP as Robin Hood or Peter Pan.

 

Guess how I'm celebrating St Paddy's Day?

Actually I'm doing it wrong though. I got a fifth of Bourbon Creme Liqueur. From Kentucky. It should have been Irish, I know. Oh well, put it in your coffee and it tastes just like liquid Caramel. And pretty soon I'm speaking with a bit of the ol' Brogue. Or at least a slur and nobody can understand me. It's the same thing right?

I'm trying to make up for it by cooking Corned Beef and Cabbage. But I looked into it a while back and apparently the actual Irish never eat that. It was always a cheap export they sold, mostly to prisons. From what I read, the Irish consider it food fit only for the poor. Well, I guess that's right in my ballpark then!

 

Fancy!

My Irish Literature professor got the class a box of Irish tea each.
I buy it every year now.... Though i messed up and bought decaf. So i will be enjoying my Irish tea this evening

 

Jaysus, maybe you should mix your decaf tea with Xoic's Kentucky bourbon and make it a real Irish holiday!

And corned beef is crap with anything. What you need is hairy bacon and cabbage.

 

... hairy bacon?



I usually check against a light to make sure there's no floor hair left if I drop it.

Actually though, I love my corned beef, with plenty of horseradish, and especially Ruben sandwiches!

 

Did a Google for hairy bacon and this is the 1st thing that came up:

The 2nd was this:

 

Good to have standards.

The pig has traditionally been brutalised in Irish "cuisine" . I'm sure you've heard of blood pudding but my grandmother, RIP, was a big fan of crubeens, which looked exactly like how you'd expect boiled pig's feet to look. At least I think they were boiled. I usually had to run from the kitchen, gagging. Give that a go next year.

 

Watching (out of sheer disbelief that a film can be this bad) a Steven Seagul film called Shadow Man. I can’t stomach this tosser at the best of times but this outing is so bad it’s bad. I switched on just as a car chase was starting and its use of green screen is some of the worst I’ve ever seen, with the actors comically throwing themselves from side to side as they swing the cars through the ‘corners’. It makes me want to weep it’s so bad.
