    Sunday Thread April 22

    Had planned on going to Nashville today, but my plans got derailed.

    I had already done all the weekly housework and laundry, so at least I have a day to rest.

    I've been binging on The Office--first UK, now US. What a great show.

    I've been playing my Jazz Bass more than my guitars lately, but I'm working on a new song and will spend some time with the Telecaster today as I try to finish a "rough draft" of the song. I've written lyrics for the first verse and now I'm a bit stuck on the chorus--the melody is there. It's a song about childhood memories, and it's easy to lean on cliches on the chorus, so I'm going to dig in and see what kind of new way I can go with it.

    Re: Sunday Thread April 22

    What a beautiful day! We went to the AMA Supercross at Gillette Stadium yesterday. It was a great day to watch racing!

    I put the snow blower back in the shed and got the Miata out today. My wife and I went for a nice ride and lunch. Now my son and I are repairing a leak in the lower rocker box gasket on the 6.7 liter turbo diesel engine in his truck.

    On Friday, they announced the closing of the plant that I'm working at, at the end of the first quarter of 2019. Then they sent us home for the afternoon. I don't mind much- I'm an engineer and will find another job, but some of these folks have never had another job. I'm really curious what it'll be like tomorrow.

    I put my snowblower and shovels away in the shed, if we get a blizzard tomorrow it's on me. It if happens Tuesday, that's somebody else's fault.

    I might be to blame if we get a blizzard! Here's my driveway yesterday (Sunday) afternoon! Finally!

    I drove this car to work this morning with the top down. It was 35F and glorious!!!

    I will re-order a new batch in a little while - 1-2 weeks. Will probably add a glow around the juju guy to make him pop a little more

    Yeah, and the color contrast with the red bandanna makes the whole thing... creepy. :)

    You got me there. I didn't think of my latino rockstar production as scary or creepy, but that's definitely something I can develop and use in my own favor...

    Next time I'll bring a leatherface mask and a chainsaw along

    No, it's the scene in Once Upon a Time in Mexico when the guys show up with the guitar cases while Los Lobos is blasting out Link Wray.

    Killer movie scene!
