Relaxed day

Well, I've recovered from my trip to Canada and am back into the "routine", such as it is... Busily fixing guitars, and getting ready to send one off to Texas on approval... old Slingerland Songster... had to set it up with light gauge strings, and that was a trip... I'm so used to Mediums for everything, and putting lights on changes lots of things... ended up having to dress a few frets and re-crown & polish them, having already re-crowned and polished when the strings were off! Now it's been sitting for a day to settle in, and I'll work on it tonight if it needs tweaking.

Yep, it's Spring here in N. IL -- in the high 60's, hazy, and very nice. Trees are budding out, peonies are up, flowers likewise...

I'm getting ready to head over to Pete's to attempt to figure out the why's and wherefore's of our new mics... We bought a couple of AT4040's after seeing my buddy Jay Ungar and Molly Mason using similar mikes... Jay said that they were wonderful, and we've been fighting the 4 mic set-up that we use for some time... too damn much clutter... we have short stands, with telescoping arms, but still there's 4 of them, and it's just a pain... if we could travel with one stand and a suitcase (already have everything fitted into a suitcase that my neighbor put out for the garbage!) life would be a lot simpler.

Now to try to figure out how to make my wireless router let me connect my laptop to the web without a cable... Just doesn't seem to want to do anything. I think a detailed e-mail to Linksys is in order a bit later today!
