Woke up late, worked, fed snakes, worked some more, watched football through my eyelids, got bit by the puppy who was roughhousing.

Been over a year since my heart attack so finally getting my bloodwork done tomorrow.  I know they have me pumped full of too much thinner, still bleeding hours later from the dog bite.  Conked the little guy out by giving him some turkey, that settled him down.

Wife is back from all gurlz weekend.  She fainted in a restaurant so something is not good.  

 

Isn't feeding a puppy turkey after he bites you sort of ...  positively re-enforcing a negative?   Unless, you yelled at him, and waited 5 minutes!       Wife may have had too much mask and not enough oxygen.  If you live in a state that requires you to wear a mask In Between Bites - she may have been doubly affected.  Chewing and swallowing without breathing, then a mask.   Hope she's OK.    Today we're getting one of those side by side remote control beds that you can raise and lower, but are 2 twins that fit (I hope) inside an existing King size bed frame.  Yesterday, the mattresses were delivered and are airing out.   Our current mattress is like a well-worn catchers mitt.  I think they intentionally make them now so they don't last as long.

Good luck to you and your wife Steve, not a fun experience.

Sorry to hear that Steve. Hope she's better. That happened to mine decades back, I caught her and carried her to a bench till she woke up.  She dieted to a weight too low for her.

Snow was all melted today so I cleaned the mess in the back yard.   Deb bought herself a Christmas gift for a $100.00 and insists I come up with a gift I want for around the same price give or take a few bucks. I've been thinking for weeks. So I may have found a pedal.  It's a Zoom G1X four looper effects for $109.00  Anyone ever have this before? I really didn't know what else to try?

Cherry had lunch with her girlfriends, and she brought me home a takeaway meal in 4 boxes. Steak Pie / Potatoes / Peas / Gravy. Went down nice with a glass of Rioja.

Worked, fed some snakes, laughed about how trying to move a 12' boa constrictor that'a wrapped around a heat lamp atop a cage by yourself does NOT work AT ALL!

Move the head, the tail digs in, move the tail, the head digs in, move the middle and both the head and the tail dig in.  Okay, stay where you are, see if I care...

Mystery Guitar is still MIA in Newark, NJ and I dug out the Lucille.  BB King really had great taste in guitars and got Gibson to make a stellar model for him.  Little tweak of the truss rod and it's back in business.

I have prescription with photo grey on my everyday glasses and 2 sets of prescription sunglasses. One pair for my car and one for her car.  Hmm, Have 2 pairs of deep snow boots. I spent all day checking into pedals. We ordered the Zoom G3Xn pedal from Amazon.  I liked that it had a setting for drum beats. Thought i'd give that a go plus the effects.  Price went over a bit but she didn't care. I've had $200. in cash in my jewelry box for the last 2 years, I'll give her that.

Lets know how the Zoom checks out. I have a Beat Buddy for drums, though its been gathering dust for a while.

Started putting the gynormous thing that is part of what turns a model in the wind tunnel. Even though I work at a place that has a hand in sending people to outer space, this week I kid you not I could not find a #10 lock washer anywhere in our tool room.

Well, you play in a band don't you? My 2 uncles I played with have both been dead for decades. I do miss it though. It was just 3 guys on guitars and we didn't have a drummer. How did you like the Beat Buddy?  I thought about one way back.

Blown Out has been running down steadily for a while. I think we had 2 gigs in 2019 & of course nothing since C19. Most offers of gigs are difficult to  confirm anyway with seven guys with families. Its like trying to herd a bunch of cats. I miss playing out. Next confirmed gig is my son's wedding next August. That should have been this year, but yeah... C19 again. I hope it works out for next year.

Beat buddy is good, and I should try to use it again. It would be terrific for a bassist I think. If you get the extra pedal, you could gig with it (seated would be best). At different parts of the song you can stomp to add  fills and variations. You can plug it into your Aux and adjust the volume independently. Its expensive, but its built like a tank.

Thats right, Since I don't gig, I keep forgetting about Covid 19.  That has pretty much shut everything down.  Many things have been shut down for good because of it. By the way, Congrats on your sons marriage next year. Deb ordered me a Zoom G3X effects pedal for Christmas and has a drum beat on it as it claims. I think its like 60 to 80 different beat patterns. It should be interesting when I get it.

Fat as I'm getting Sundance could chew on me all winter.lol

You didn't hear the best part Jim, we have a dirt room floor in the basement where they used to store corn. Yep, so we bury the bones afterwards so no one finds out! Lol So we have a 3 step process,  1. shoot them, 2. feed them to the dog, 3. bury the bones.  We don't seem to get any crooks here. Haha.
