I’ve been spending a lot of time down here working on projects lately. I’ve also got a small amp and cheap pedal setup to bang around on while the machine is running, or on the odd occasion that I feel like getting loud(er). I am still playing a lot of guitar without processing (aside from pedals) lately and I’m feel like I’m getting more confident/comfortable with it. Still don’t record anything to share though. Maybe someday. ;)
Busy Saturday. Took a trip this morning to visit an preschool open house for Emi next year. She really liked it, and as per the usual, we had to carry her out of there. It’s hard to leave someplace when you’re having fun.
Before all that, I spent the early morning in the garage prepping all the lumber for some basement storage shelves. Fingers crossed we never have a water issue again, but I’m not leaving it to chance. It’s also a good excuse to go through boxes and set aside anything and everything we don’t need to donate. Came back and built the shelves and I think they turned out great. Emi (3) loves using the power drill so she helped a lot. Filled up half of the back of Ashley’s truck for Goodwill.
Hard to take an interesting photo of shelves (I tried really hard) so I walked around the basement looking for interesting shapes. I dunno.
We’ve had a lot of rain this weekend and the nearby creek is running very fast. Took the recorder out to catch a bit of it and it turned out ok, but there’s a background noise that I’m not sure where it’s coming from. I have a suspicion that I’m picking up the freeway that’s about a mile away. I want to take it somewhere really quiet to see if I can isolate. Also, I like quiet places.
Went down in the basement to find that my sump pump decided to take a break so there was 1-2” of standing water. Didn’t lose anything important, but it was a very long day of cleanup. Goodnight.
