Consolations to you & your wife. That must have been an awful shock for her.

Thank you.
Thankfully, I don't have to unsee anything but now I'm wishing I was the one who went to knock on the door, which apparently was open, the Great Dane was out, and their other aging mutt dog, and the cat Cinnamon looked really disturbed.
Apparently cats are capable of 276 different facial expressions - and you thought it was your imagination - and I definitely saw one on the cat I'd never seen before.
He was a rescue from the Farmer's Market in the big city down the road, used to fight with our previous Siamese kitty Stashe, who is long gone now, fights with Claudia, chases her across roofs multiple times. During one of these attacks, I sprayed him with a high pressure water type extinguisher, in winter... He didn't come back for about a year.
I also babysat him for a week this winter, feeding him twice a day, 1st time by 7am, leaving him out all day, bringing him in at night, building a hot fire in the stove to keep all the plants from freezing at night. cuddling with the cat on my lap in a cold house for a while, leaving and shutting him in the house, rinse and repeat for a week.
And he had the weirdest look on his face today. I think it was shock.
Thx LTG.
It's nice to know someone cares about you.
I'm cleaning intensely now, clean, organize, clean, organize, rinse, repeat.

They usually start to quiet down around late October if I remember correctly....

I've NEVER owned a guitar in my entire life that a tunable G string.

Got sore fingers from the last couple days playing, a blister even.

Was the blister on your little finger? Because, that ain’t work.

LH middle finger, unusual.
It's very interesting how the body adjusts to indoor or outdoor temperatures. I've been perfectly comfortable sitting on the lawn with my dog over the past week or so in temperatures south of 40F, but inside that feels cold.

Feels cold outside, too!

I was looking at an item listed on Facebook Marketplace the other day. It was an antique windup gramophone, and the seller was located in the city of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.
"Hmmmm ......" I thought to myself, "Nanaimo is pronouced Na Nai Mo, but if you break the name of the city into two parts, Nana Imo, it could be read (in a grammatically incorrect manner) in Japanese as 七 イモ, seven potatoes, which would be the caloric equivalent of a Nanaimo bar, a classic Canadian dessert/coffee/tea sweet that was invented in the city."

I didn’t expect to come to a guitar forum and wind up with a sweet craving.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one... I guess. Yeah, shoulders AND hips AND back. It's been forcing me to just get up at, like, 5:00 am after waking at 4:00 and not falling back to sleep. Of course, it's already starting to get light at 5:00 these days, so it's get up and greet the day I suppose. Hot shower helps. When it's really bad, two ibuprofen.

Still tracking. After leaving Arkansas it has travelled to Texas, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, and Mississippi. It is currently in Alabama. At least it is headed back in the right direction.
