I took my banjo, which was a gift from my beautiful wife for Father’s day last year, to the shop for professional setup and tweaking. I just got it back, and it sounds AMAZING.
I’ve been playing the guitar for over 15 years and I thought I could set the banjo up myself, but I was not able to do it properly. Turns out there was a part of the neck that had to be tightened, and once that was done the thing sounds like a dream.
I miss my garden today. Being away from home is not fun or exciting after a while. Once the novelty of road warrior working wears off? It’s just tiring.
I missed my son’s birthday yesterday. He turned two. I kid myself that it’s ok, because he won’t remember. I will though.
It’s quiet and boring in hotels like this one. The nice thing is that the kids and my lady wife will be joining me this weekend. I guess I’m just used to seeing them every day and singing my babies to sleep.
In Oct 2011, I weighed 238lbs.
today: 211 lbs. I am 1 lb away from my weight goal I set in January.
I amend that goal to 205 after tomorrow.
