Neither of us watch cooking shows, and it shows. I have been known to binge watch BBQ Pitmasters though.

took my daughter to college creek this morning, near Jamestown. A bald eagle was flying around and landed in a tree. Tried to get a picture of it in the first shot.

I tried selling just the bass first. That sat on craigslist and face book market place for about a year. Then I decided to sell the amp. I would only sell them together just because seperated I felt I would get less than I wanted. The amp they don’t make anymore but it was super nice. Sounded way better than my old Ampeg SVT.

Thing is she can really cook when she wants to, and she tries to nudge me towards that level of proficiency, but I'm like nah, I got more enjoyable ways to spend my time. I'm a broiled chicken leg or pork chop with steamed broccoli kind of guy.

Wife and I went for a run yesterday, it was pretty awesome to be able to do that together again. She has / had Morton's Neuropathy in her left foot and hasn't been able to run in a while. Next step is riding, but she may need some new shoes with a wide toe box. Current ones don't fit her orthotic. Hopefully we can find something that works for her.

This pic reminds me that I have a big stack of gear I need to sell - a few basses, a couple of guitars, an Aguilar cabinet, and maybe an Ampeg B100R combo. It's been a whole bunch of years since I've used a lot of that stuff. That said, there's some stuff that my kids will have to figure out what to do with after I'm gone - like my '68 P bass.

Ugh. I made some work for myself.
The utility sink has been dripping and, since I was planning on a quick trip to Home Depot, I decided to take the faucet apart so that I could grab the right replacement parts. In removing the faucet, one of the (old) captive nuts on the copper supply line snapped.
Easiest way forward is to just cut those supply lines short, pop on some new fittings and replace the faucet altogether. Unfortunately, whoever did the plumbing didn't put any shut-offs on this run, so I've gotta shut the water off for the whole house.
Oy. ******g old houses. That'll teach me to be ambitious.

yep, that's always a risk.
Last year when I was restoring the back yard, the family next door had a 20 yard dumpster in their driveway, they were renovating their house. When the guy came to get the dumpster I walked over and asked how much a 20 yard was. he said,, "let's see what you have". He came over and looked at my pile and said,, that'll fit in the dumpster next door!! Tell you what for $150.00 Ill move this to your house, you can fill it, and call me when it's done". I agreed.
10 minutes later my neighbor comes outside see's "his" dumpster in my driveway. I yell over at him like a rube " hey Fred! Can you believe he sold me all this good stuff for $50.00?!! What a deal!!"
I should have made a video, the look on his face would have made me rich...

The East / Midwest portion of my bracket is now an absolute bloodbath.

I go through cycles where I sell everything, and then a few years later I get an idea that I can start a band again so I buy all new gear. Band idea never happens and I rarely touch my gear. I think this time I don’t plan on starting over again. I have my 4 string Jaguar and some no name P bass left. I wasn’t planning on selling the Jaguar but I’m starting to like the idea of having a power meter now vs sometime next year.

Years ago, my wife told a friend that I didn't have very good handyman skills. I guess I took it as some kind of challenge, because I then proceeded to do a bunch of things in our condo that proved her wrong. The condo was easy. Things were new (ish), and put together fairly well, with modern materials. Our current house is apparently held together with various layers of glue, tape, and band-aids. I regret ever opening my mouth about my ability to use tools.

So at the visit with my folks yesterday we sat outside. My mom REFUSED to sit in the sun and insisted that we move her chair to a shaded spot.
I suggested a few minutes of sunshine would be good for her. She refused and says she never gets any sun exposure anymore due to history of skin cancer.
I am sure she has Vitamin D deficiency, but I can't tell her anything, obviously. I am of course grateful that she is still around for me to roll my eyes about.

Shipping guitars is so nerve-wracking. The last guitar I sold was shipped to the east coast and that was only out of desperation because I had zero luck selling it locally for months.

Went for a ride yesterday on my new/old bike. I'm amazed how fast and precise the downtube shifters are. Of course when you add in the time to take your hands off the bars and back on, not so fast. My lungs were really hurting, breathing hard up the easy climbs. Maybe because I got my second shot the day before?

Through the miracle of modern, push-connect plumbing fittings... I'm already done.
Now I need to hide out in the basement for a couple more hours, occasionally swearing and thunking a wrench - my wife needs to understand how much this monumental task well and truly frustrated me, so that she can properly thank me later, amiright?
