    Just glancing at the weather map of the US today. The heat wave moved on. Really below average at least in the south. Places still hot for this time of year, but at least not 115. Except in places that normally have that high of heat daily.

    Cheap homemade desk. I buy solid core doors with no hole. Pretty cheap then I paint them for desk I use for drawing. Cut one down and make two into a 90. One for the computer and other for drawings. Just make legs out of 2x4's.

    Played it all night. Man for a $400 guitar I like it a LOT. The fret ends are even really good. I've never even picked up a squire. This one is cheaper than the classic vibe by a little. Weighed it, 6 pounds 10 ounces which the weight was the biggest factor, kind left out Les Pauls...

    It's an old joke but I've known a number of people that have turned their hobby into a business. In short order they've lost a lot of money and hate their hobby.

    Squire contempary on the right is new. Not bad. It was cheap and super super light. Weighing in at just over 6 pounds. Plus has a belly cut on the back which helps me. 12" radius on the fretboard is different from what I normally play. It came almost right in tune. I have some black locking...

    Yeah the south is having a LOT of thunderstorms pop up. Normally when it gets warm it does that but this is all the way across TX deep into the south. Saw Baton Rouge had hit 48" of rain already for 1/2 a year and normal is 80" or so for the year. Crazy, no hurricane rain either so far. The...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Find a local club and go to a star party or whatever they want to call it. View through all sizes and styles of telescopes and get an idea of what you can see and if it's what you are after price wise. Most of them will have a dozen or more telescopes set up from really cheap ones they drag out...

    Humidity gets high enough here for extended periods it actually makes it somewhat cooler since it gets harder and harder to heat all that up. Normal summer temps 95 and humidity of 40-60% depending on the time of day. It's been 98% the last week almost all day and 99-100% at night which makes it...

    My truck is still chugging along with limited amount of new stuff. 2007.5 Z71 with 75,000 miles on it now. Used only on ranch roads and such. Not offroaded but the ranch roads get slick as greased pig shit when it rains. Seen several people not "stuck" just could't move from spinning the tires...

    Had sensor replaced at the dealer here in my truck. Talking to the service manager he said they were mega backed up as usual due to waiting on parts.

    Dad was in the same house as I was all day. Didn't speak one word to each other. About normal. Was in business in some ways together for 25 years and exchanged nothing more "Check this" or "it's okay". for most of that time.

    Had watched a few new guitars on reverb. Got offers of less on 3 of them over the week. Paid for them only to get a message later they didn't have the guitar. All refunded, just found it odd they all managed to sell that one guitar in store. All 3 at high volume sellers.

    Some places in the US it's illegal to cultivate/plant bamboo, ranks right up there with Kudzu. Once you start with it, you will never ever get rid of it or even keep it under control without a LOT of work.

    Steel, aluminum, lumber and oil are up. Takes a while for these things to work down to the consumer enough to notice. Good thing the plan is to spend a ton on infrastructure, they don't use any of that.

    Gotta figure out what the capital gains are going to be on a house and land sale. The house had been put in my name maybe 15 years ago.
