NOT a good day!

Well, being a retired computer support person, you think that I'd know better... I finally DID get my laptop to connect to the internet via my wireless router, but it took me several tries, and over 2 hrs. of messing around with settings. Grrr... I never liked networks or the like when I was doing it for a living, and nothing has changed!

I was able to get the Remote Administrator program configured to be able to look at one computer from the other, but it appears that I can't transfer files back and forth between them with that program... it's too late now to go hunting for a program that does that, but later today, I'll surely be looking for one.

Today was a "hurry up and wait" kind of day... have several calls into various agencies concerning the mechanical rights for the songs on the CD, and with any luck, tomorrow will bring answers to all the questions that happened today.

Hoping that the rain comes tonight as they predict... we need it... I dug all the dandelions from the yard today... ok, so I probably missed one or two... it's a small yard, they'll stand out. I see the neighbor across the alley has mowed their lawn already... groan... it's too early for this... I'm holding out for another few days.

Took many pictures of tuners that I'll be listing on eBay tomorrow... odd-ball sets of 3 & 4 tuners (would work well for dulcimers or tenor guitars) and a couple of stray 3-on-a-plate that match nothing that I have... way too new!

Playing the Gibson a lot as well... what a guitar! It continues to amaze me... and delight me at the same time... looking at the construction of it, I'm re-thinking my design for my own guitars a bit... will be more work, but worth it if it works as I think it will... Cut more pearl today using the diamond saw and jigs... had to add a board on the front of the dust collector, and now the dust is 90% taken up by the Shop Vac instead of heading for my lungs... a major improvement... still, I think that it will be a nice outdoor, windy day job... no need for dust masks if the wind is blowing...

Music at the bar in Sandwich tomorrow nite... haven't been there for 2 weeks... they probably think we died :-) They'll say that, no doubt, when we show up... Should have 2 new songs ready by then... and good ones they are... Gus Canon and Blue Highway, altho' you wouldn't recognize the Blue Highway one as I changed it a wee bit to make it fit the OTCBR mold... The Folk Process lives!!
