Rainy day blues
Yep, a rainy day today, but we sure needed the moisture... felt like I should have stayed in bed for an extra couple of hours... no energy today. The redbud tree is about one day away from bursting into full bloom... that's always a sure sign of Spring!
Did manage to get lots of pics taken for guitars and tuners to list on eBay... now have to edit all the pics and write descriptions. Descriptions are easy, but the pics are a pain... tedium.
Did manage to fix an electric guitar today -- it had been dropped while the plug was in the jack, so it shattered the finish and wood around the jack on the side of the guitar. So, installed a coverplate over the area, and it covered all but about 1/16" of one crack. Plus made the jack a lot more stable... I might just install a plate on my own guitar to avoid the possiblity of an accident... next time I do a Stew Mac order...
Major breakage on a guitar today... cut a new saddle and after shaping & installing it, upon tightening the strings the front half of the bridge from the saddle slot forward broke off... The bridge was walnut, and was (obviously) very dried out... So, I'll make a new bridge and get it glued on on Wed. The new one will be either coco bolo or ebony, probably ebony... will be much more stable than the old walnut one!
Eye Dr. appt. on Wed., so might be able to eliminate one of my eye drops if the pressure has stabilized in the right eye... this is from laser surgery (PRK) that enabled me to throw away my glasses after some 52 yrs.
Got some video clips today of Dubya's nominee for UN Ambassador, John Bolton... a very scary fellow... having him represent the US in the UN would be like having no representation at all! His goal seems to be dismantling the UN if the US can't run it... somehow not in keeping with the spirit of the UN! And definitely not in the best interests of making peace with the rest of the world, most of whom don't trust us at all after Iraq.
To much bad ju ju in Washington these days! Need an exorcist post haste!!
