I moved my family into a new house this month. First week in the house a block of lights in the kitchen went out and I couldn't find the breaker or GFI outlet that was tripped to fix the problem. I sent a text to a friend across town who didn't even know I had moved, it was a Saturday morning. He goes "where are you? I'll be there in 30 minutes." He had the problem diagnosed in minutes, a fried breaker. We picked up a replacement part better suited to that spot in the panel and had it replaced 20 minutes later. Friends gotta look out for each other.

Home prices increasing is only good for folks who own multiple properties. Renters and single home owners don't benefit from rising home prices.

My dad is one of the best guitarists I've ever known and I'm just starting to play with him after more than 25 years on the instrument. Wish I would have started earlier.

My dad wants me to come over tomorrow and try out Tool riffs on his new Gibson Les Paul with him. I have ascended.

My diary entry from 30 September1993: "We got two nintendo games at toys R us"

I left my most recent 9-5 job in Summer 2021. I've worked alone ever since and I don't think I could go back to working with a group of people. working alone I can do the things that make most sense, make decisions quickly, and just get work done. And also I get to handle all the money myself and it all goes to me at the end of the day.

I slaughtered two Duroc pigs for a local farmer this morning. Both kills were clean and the job took me about four hours from arrival on the farm to departure after cleaning the site. The first of the two was eager to go and presented me with several good shots before I finally took one. My preferred shot is behind the ear, aiming roughly for the opposite eyeball, but I took the between-the-eyes shot on both pigs today. The farmer helped me move the carcass with a tractor over to his gantry crane set up with a heavy duty wench. I skinned and eviscerated the pig and put her entrails, hide and head in a bin to be disposed of later. Repeat the process for the second, only it didn't want me to come near and tried to hide out in the mud, but that's no big deal, I cleaned the hide before I started working. For payment, the farmer loaded me up with all kinds of fresh food, mackeral, sardines, tuna, sea bass, octopus, sausage, bacon, lamp chops, chicken, and more.

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with modern guitar music. It's like the guitarists are trying to turn guitar exercises into songs, but the musicality score is very low overall. Polyphia is a good example of this but compared to your average YouTube guitarist they do a relatively decent job of creating an actual song.

The time has come for #Bitcoin to shine.

both X and nostr would make you think that nobody knows that #Bitcoin is popping off right now. We're desensitized to price action anymore.
