I was going to ask @jimmyjazz but actually maybe @Al_4_ISU has good input too - in Skyway, is the narrator homeless? ”In my stupid hat and gloves, at night, I lie awake” he also has the line about bums going into the skyways when it is cold outside. Is that your read of it? Or ( and here is where Al might have some geographic insight) would you wear your stupid hat and gloves in bed at your house if it got sufficiently cold?

She’s probably complaining about me being the backseat kitchen driver on the “husbands and stupid shit” thread over on the kate spade forum or whatever. but this is driving me bonkers and I’m calling my shot. Our electric stove is hot as shit - the middle = hot. But for her, medium heat = as medium as you can position the knob. Cranked is only good for boiling water ASAP. She’s making borscht and just left it like this, it is boiling in there. I’m about to go pick up the baby. Im about 50/50 that I get a text about figuring something different out for dinner.

hahaha to be fair to silverman, I vaguely remember that and I think it was funny. but of course she should shut the fuck up about "jew-face" or whatever it is

me silently to myself at the three year old as I try and stop the baby from crying yeah get ready for your shit to change sooner than later. I don't mean in the "it's so much harder with 2" way, I just mean in the "don't count on having all of those days before your shit gets fucked up" way. baby comin.

bingo imo the isbell tele sounds better across the board - the ash tele sounds like it has the tone knob rolled off a bit. Although that's not so bad on the bridge pickup - that's definitely a bright sound and pretty harsh by itself on the bridge. does sound nice mixed in with music when you're going for that kinda bright 90s rhythm guitar sound. I might sell the blonde tele although I'm tempted still to just play with it and put different pickups in. My favorite sound on that guitar is with the little knob button toggled on the middle position with the pups in series. I posted elsewhere about getting shitcanned while on a business trip in Minneapolis and walking back to my hotel from the convention center with "Skyway" playing in my earbuds. I was starting from there and trying to turn it around a little bit, and going back to listen I realized that half of what I lifted is vocal melody rather than guitar.

I'm sure you've got the basics down, but this video is the first interaction I had with Kenji Alt-Lopez and him and this format have done more than anything else to help me feel more comfortable understanding things and just kinda cooking rather than rigidly following a recipe.

Ah yeah easily.

Who is the best team in Florida this year?

just a little side by side noodling on a riff I was working on during the game yesterday keyboard notes added just as identifiers for each guitar. One of them is of course the Isbell, the other is a 2012 American Ash Deluxe. Playing through the Positive Grid Spark, tone settings are findable as "nep-utility" (but it's the matchless with a klon giving some tone and a bit of trem/delay/reverb). And then maybe obviously - playing the same little riff starting on the neck pickup for both guitars, and then middle, and then bridge. Curious if you can guess which guitar is which. Bonus points if you can figure out what song I was trying to borrow the riff from, although I think it's disguised enough that it's a different thing. Been a busy weekend with the kids, still kinda feeling this guitar out and planning to write some thoughts down.

I kinda regret the post I made yesterday, which was an honest reflection on the familiar feeling in sobriety of someone dying way too young and not really getting the story, but also in its own way speculating about YGIFS, which is what I regret. It sounds like he went out fighting. When he first popped into this thread it was a funny mix of feelings - on the one hand, most of us are egomaniacs on some level and that ten thousand percent clicked for me with him. Honestly it made me like him more - I didn't not like him before he started sharing in here, but when I realized that he was an egotistical asshole like me it turned that aspect of his style into a little bit of kinship. And then on the other hand, it's incredible that anyone could have been one of us and typed as many words as he typed without "slurring his words". Maybe I wasn't paying attention closely, but he never struck me as being a drunk poster. I never caught up with him one on one - I feel bad, we had an interaction early on in his participation here where in this thread I brought up his behavior in another thread as being relevant to his journey here and he took offense. I leaned back at that point and I never really leaned back in. But I was paying attention, and man I thought he was in for a rough time with the "let go" "powerless" type stuff and was impressed with the progress it seemed like he made. There's so much randomness and chaos all around us. It is tough to not try and understand why some people manage to escape the exploding death star and some just don't make it out. But it's fruitless to try and understand it. I'm so sad for those little girls, I'm so sad for him not getting to see the rest. A lot of sobriety was really clean for me when I was unattached, and having kids makes it hard. My heart breaks.

a thing that sucks about sobriety is losing people. you inevitably get to know and care about a lot of people that die for one reason or another. and a lot of times there's a bit of mystery around it - I don't know what happened with YGIFS, I'm in shock at the other post from brisket in this forum, I don't care to speculate but it's not unusual as a sober person to sit and take it in that somebody is gone and have to choose not to speculate. fuck.

He should legally change his name to Fooid Lion

What was that last FSU game last year before they announced the playoff selection. Miami? This is like that.

Oh lawd

Conner Weigman cums while fumbling with the bra.

What an idiot

He’s “hr has to tell him that his belly is lower than his shirt” fat.

I didn’t realize Elko was that fat.

Another hour and I’m going to have to call a doctor

lol yeah the signup for the potluck had both tortillas and “soft taco shells” listed separately. People were skeptical and many opted for the stack Tia Rosa or whatever, but many compliments. Some asshole in a Sooner hat reached for the store bought before commenting “oh somebody brought homemade tortillas” and going for the good stuff, so I have to give home that. Folks went hard on the salsa.

The 3 year old’s church preschool is having a block party to kick off the year. It’s a “fiesta” themed potluck. I signed up for tortillas and salsa. This is what I’ve been preparing for since we left Texas.

This guy finds his way into my algorithms. And it’s often this kinda silly thing that makes me want to roll my eyes and move on but then I don’t and it’s actually good. Prine-ish
