Weekend wrapup

[Mark Wein]

Lots of gigs.

Friday - took a break from work and walked to the hardware store to buy a screwdriver long enough to deal with the screws holding the faceplate in my amp.

Saturday - complained about the pain in my legs and back from the walk.
Also, swapped a 12AX7 into my amp. Problem solved. The bad one was physically damaged. It was collapsing under the force of my fingers while trying to pull it out.

Home made chicken wings for dinner.
Got a session with the theragun massager to address the pain in my legs and back.

Sunday - woke up with a spasm in my lower back. Did pretty much nothing all day.
Daughter DCF came over for dinner and a sleepover. Her apartment building is getting sprayed first thing in the morning.
Home made Pineapple Chicken over rice for dinner.

Gig Friday, boiled crawfish at the house for wife’s bday Saturday. Said I wasn’t going to get out of bed today, but I did a little yard work and cleaned up what I didn’t get to Saturday night. Wife got bottles of gin and champagne for her bday. Made some Sunday night French 75s.

Was off from Wednesday on...spent the week putting new SSDs in my studio computer and reloading Windows and all the software, including most of my obscene plugin collection ...

Saturday - morning errands...gave the apartment a clean sweep down fire and aft...wanted to send a "congratulations" card to my niece for the amazing job she did in her school play and include a note but my printer died so off to Best Buy to get a new one...wrapped up the day with The Masters, NASCAR and SuperCross...

Sunday - more domestic stuff, studio time, and general puttering...got inspired by The Masters to break out the golf clubs and get them ready for the season...

Back to work today...yippee...

Weather was pleasant though windy, so it was a good golf weekend. The scores aren't there yet, but my swing is really coming around. It was the most fun I've had on the golf course in a long time.

Played lots of guitar as usual. I still haven't yet buckled down and learned to do basic recording, need to get on that. It can't be too hard if all those losers on FB etc. can do it.

I'll post a thread some time this week. Catching up at work today. I am running on 10 hours broken sleep over the last 60 hours but it was worth it. Got home at 12:30am and here I am at work.
To put it short, I had an amazing week. Capped off with seeing Thom Yorke and it was incredible. 6th row center.

Oh and while we were in Bern I found this...

Friday: Practiced guitar.

Saturday: Early morning hike, then off to a local coffee shop for java and a breakfast burrito. Did a bunch of errands, started the chores, and while cutting up boxes to put in the recycling bin was not careful enough with the box cutter managed to slice open the side of my index finger on my fretting hand. Put a bandage on it and finished up my chores. I had to stain a landing outside of a shed on the property. The previous owners built the shed themselves, but did not do any of the finishing work. My finger hurt when I tried to practice guitar, but the bleeding was minimal so I practiced for a bit.

Sunday: Played guitar at church and managed not to bleed much, but it did hurt while playing. Ran errands.

Friday was our anniversary so had a nice long lie then went out for dinner and a few drinks. Back home for Lola and vegged with Netflix.

Saturday did some stuff around the house then one of my buddies came over for dinner and a night in the hot tub.

Sunday: buddy drove me into town to pick up my new MacBook then we had a few beers. Chilled last night.

Mrs JBJ is off this week so we've just been for a nice lunch now we're off to pick up Lola from doggy day care and heading to a log cabin a few hours drive away for the week.

Sun.: Travel day

7 weeks on the road. I'm toast. Luckily, I don't have to get back on a plane again for a couple of weeks. Still busy, though, as I'm now subbing for BOTH guitar chairs in 'Tina', so I have another week to cram before I do that.

I've been easing back into running, got in a good run with some running buddies that I haven't seen for a while. A friend invited me to a private outdoor range, so I spent some time Sunday making holes in paper and loud noises. Not sure I'll become a "gun person" any time soon, but it was a lot of fun

I've been shooting in Latvia a few times as a tourist thing you do. It was fun in a novelty kind of way but f***ing terrifying having something you could easily kill someone with in your hand, I've no idea why anyone would want to have one in their house.

I grew up shooting long guns, and my dad having them in the house (hunting related, because 'mericuh), but had never shot a handgun before

At this range (mad ex-KGB underground joint) you got to fire off a 9mm, a 45, a modern shotgun (one of those call of duty type deals) and then a machine gun. First time it was an AK, 2nd time I have no idea, maybe an M16.

As I said it was fun but we've just not got the mindset for it.

I've witnessed a "show of strength" in Belfast where maybe a dozen or so paramilitaries fired handguns and rifles into the air at a street party and thinking back now, at uni I was in the British Territorial Army OTC for a while and could strip, clean, load etc... an SA80 in jig time during drills but you don't fathom how powerful these things are until you shoot one for real.

I put the finishing touches on my ambient music video project. Carol, my aesthetics director, told me the font on the quotes was too much and had me make them much smaller. Then, after viewing it on TV decided it was too small so I had to go back in and make them all larger. It is done, though, and I am happy with how it turned out.

Mojo. I spent a few days there for a conference. No public transportation and, other than the hotel/Convention center, the nearest restaurant was miles away.

Gary I like that! Nice job!

I grew up around guns and used to go hunting with my dad and brother from about 13 until 16. After that me and my best bud would always take a couple rifles ca,mping and plink around or just go out on the weekend that lasted till maybe my mid twenties. then I would always take a rifle camping (for perceived protection) but that stopped about 2015 (i realised "you know that time I was sleeping in the cab of my truck and the black bear jumped into the bed of the truck and stole my ice chest I didn't go for the gun but rather I honked the horn)...or the other times I had bear encounters were without a gun and the bear always ran off from just shouting at him or 'thinking tough thoughts{I think they sense on fear, etc like a dog} or the time I encountered illegals on a hike...no gun they didn't assault me)
fast forwards to 2017 when my brother took his life with a gun and I was done with them. My dad and I collected them all and we took them down to a pawn shop just to get rid of them. I did keep a .22 rifle which was my buds from way back when and it was one of many his dad gave me after he died from cancer...

so yeah TLDR fuck guns. I mean everyone wants to act tough but if you own a gun and use it you risk either going to jail (even for self defense) or you have to live with taking someones life or you are more likely to be shot yourself if you are indecisive....
