When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

ordered some fretwire and a fret saw. (I blame your husband for this latter, Beth) Which totally counts as work.

Totally is work. And you want to get a cheap hardware-store-plastic-faced hammer, too; metal hammers + frets are Not A Good Mix, unless filing ALL THE METAL until the board is flat is your idea of a good time. Which I'm pretty sure it isn't, because you're a musician, and you want to play, you know? Even though fret dust DOES look like glitter.....

And I will totally get you that schematic, too, for the active/passive config. Sorry it's taken so long.....

I treated last night as if it was Sunday evening...finished most of the weekend tasks.

Today, I've taken care of a friend's guinea pigs, walked Cagney twice, despite the ghastly cold, and finished a couple loads of laundry.

I should have gone veggie shopping, but think I'll get by with what I have instead.

I am STILL resisting writing a letter I really, really need to finish. I'm consoling myself that tomorrow is a holiday anyway, so...

Which is lame, considering I ought to have finished it a month ago. The day is not over so...

And yet, all I want to do is take a nap.

This is a TOTAL avoidance ploy, since setting up my standing desk has made naps virtually unnecessary anymore.

That reminds me, rings like these always make me think of you guys.

A mobius ring would definitely be cool.

Will do.

True facts!

Heh, the project with the kids is going so great, Matt. They are going nuts over it, and they're doing so well. No maimings yet! Next week will be an exciting week, I think, because we'll be to assembly and stringing for the younger kids and will be starting electronics with the older ones.

And I will totally get you that schematic, too, for the active/passive config. Sorry it's taken so long.....

That would be great. But no worries about the delay, I just got the film piezos in last week, and I'm still waiting on the hide glue. I found a great tutorial using the crockpot...and the one in the picture was exactly my crockpot. So I have successfully convinced the SO that buying me a new crockpot so I can use the old one to warm hide glue was a good use of resources.

So the SO's bass and our buddy Sammy's bass are both on hold until I can get that going.

Anyway, the little film piezos, the site says are too delicate to solder and I should use a conductive epoxy to attach the leads. Do you know where I can buy conductive epoxy? I probably should have just bought the next step up, which is what I did now for the older kids, but I still want to be able to use the little ones.

Oh bonny, I wanted to say that I share your enjoyment of Live at Daryl's House. He just seems so happy!

Lunch or grading... lunch or grading...?

Lunch!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Lunch. Then grade. Or paint your nails.

I'm dogsitting this weekend, I just have to note that two times the dogs = two times as much dog fart. Ewww.

Dishes are washed, bathroom is clean (except I haven't mopped). Now I need to go to the store.

Still no minion.

This is my favorite part.

I'm aspiring to figure out how I can live a life with so much fun/joy.

Of course, without the 40 years of touring (though he seems to love that too), and battling egos.
