I’m going to try to channel germophobia as I go through airports.

Practicing no-face-touching starting... _NOW!_

Going to be traveling internationally in less than two weeks. I’m far less concerned with potentially contracting COVID-19 (seems inevitable, really) than I am of the possibility of enduring the illness on a long transatlantic flight(s).

Also, SI joint dysfunction is stupid.

And coughing with it is painful.

Therefore, drugs.

Not that there are many of them, but it feels a little odd to have more books pre-ordered than music albums right now.

@shawn Yep! It’s fun to play. The neck feels nice, the pick ups scream in double-coil mode, and it is nicely finished. I just need to get a new strap for it. 😁

@shawn Yeah, thanks! I’ve been excited for it. I learned a few years ago that wait time for temperature normalization is recommended for basically all shipped, wooden instruments — not just in the winter. Similarly, I’d guess, it’s likewise good to let it acclimate gradually to changes in humidity, as well? …

Ooh! Germ. And George.

I should start a list of words that start with a G followed by a vowel that have soft-Gs.

Even the best of us...corporate sponsors.

I mean, being wrong can make the best of us want to dig in rather than admit any incorrectness or inconsistency. And if you also happen to be a “troll type,” then social media is where you can easily find allies for your emotional lash out.

@shawn Sorry, I didn't see your query earlier. I got this [youtu.be]. :D Guitar Center had it for $500 off.

Now, I'm just waiting 24 hours before unboxing so it can go from 9 hours in a freezing delivery truck temperature to room temperature, so I don't shock it.

The lesson I just learned? If a package delivery window has expired without delivery having occurred, post about it on Pnut.

Delivery will happen within minutes...guaranteed!*
