Damnit! Same. I hate it. G is fun.

Would y'all be open to a beginners thread? I've seen a few people post about picking up guitar due to being stuck at home. Stress relief and a healthy habit. I know a blues shuffle and a few chords, but I'm having issues on an acoustic transitioning between chords in standard tuning. G to C, right now. It's all about hand shapes, but I learn quickly with mimicking a teacher. Online learning is tricky for me. Fender Play has been good, but they don't emphasize repetition to a degree that I feel is necessary. When I was in an orchestra on multiple instruments, I had to practice each part until the neighbors were ready to call the cops. Same shit over and over for days on end. Point is, I don't want anyone picking up the guitar to give up based on the Fender Play app. It's good, but if you're not familiar with what it takes to learn an instrument it might be frustrating. Not pointing at Fender Play exclusively. I've enjoyed the experience, but I know that my learning style might not fit their model 100%.

My Spark arrived!! This little amp is LOUD. I need to mess with it and I haven't done shit with the iPad. Great for $200.

Thanks! Yep, that's the new one. My house is so dark it is difficult to get a good picture without a bunch of shadows (as shown). It is beautiful and it inspires me to practice, which is why I bought it. It was a Sweetwater demo. Got it for $600. There is a tiny nick by one of the frets that I can't even see.

That's it. I have the olds. I've given up. I've been holding out on posting my new guitar and now I can't figure out how to do it on here. Halp. https://ibb.co/ZSV0y6T Here's the telecaster that started it all. https://ibb.co/TqmxZ45 And El Kabong https://ibb.co/wpDJrzh

Good thread. I was around 8 and have a younger sister. My Grandpa just showed up at our house in Ft. Worth during the summer and asked my Mom if he could take us on a day trip. She practically strapped us in the car. He drove us to Johnson City to the LBJ ranch. We stopped at some hill country spot along the way and I had CFS (white gravy with extra pepper) for the first time with a real coke. Whenever I hear "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" it brings up the memory. According to the tour it was LBJ's favorite song.

Damn. Being poor sucks. Thanks for all of the insight.

This is a low end boat question, but my Dad is looking for a small fishing boat to cruise lakes in Texas, LA, and Arkansas during retirement. Top end of the budget is $7,000. Preferred is 4.5-6. I figured that people may be offloading toys right now to make ends meet and he is a buyer. "17 to 18 ft bass trackers with 40-60 hp engines, good trolling motor, decent fishing seats, and electronics. Fiberglass models with bigger engines would be great, but the mechanical shape of the motor and electronics are more important." Anyway, if you know someone that needs the cash let me know and I'll put you in touch.

Same.

Spoiler alert: He fucked it up.

Yes.

Lodge. Otherwise, SLT has a $99 Le Creuset special they sometimes list. It's a perfect size for cutting recipes in half. https://www.surlatable.com/le-cresuset-soliel-oval-french-oven-675qt/PRO-1029552.html?cgid=SCA-428034#start=14

If you season it correctly, yes. Very thin layers of flax seed oil. I used too much oil and created a sticky spot. I haven't re-seasoned mine and I need to.

This is me as well.

Clover Grill is fun! "We love to fry, and it shows."

Flat white with heavy cream.

I believe CeleryMan posted this in a similar thread. Great $7 buy. It rests and drains into the sink. Simple. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DS3JPT8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If you have a small kitchen, this is awesome. I make coffee in a Chemex and this lets me rinse and drain it over the sink when I'm off to work. I think I paid $10 when I bought it, so shop around. https://www.amazon.com/Roll-Up-Dish-Drying-Rack-40cm/dp/B07CJLSX27/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?keywords=danny+dish+rack+roller&qid=1583213961&s=home-garden&sr=1-1-fkmr1

I had a horrible experience at Hard 8. The cutter peeled all of the bark from a whole brisket right in front of me before slicing. I just ordered some jalapeño poppers at that point. They were okay.

I got an email about my Spark. More delays. That's fine. They included a link to download Bias FX software for free due to the delays. I thought that was really cool! I downloaded it on my Mac. I'm running Catalina and it should be compatible. It's not. There are troubleshooting guides to delete certain files here and there, etc. Whatever. I bought a mac so that I wouldn't have to deal with that shit all of the time. It reminded me of my pc woes. In troubleshooting, I found that I needed an audio interface between the computer and the guitar. So, I spent more money and bought this: Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen) USB Audio Interface with Pro Tools. I still don't have the bias software up and running. The Scarlett seems cool and I finally have audio in my headphones from my guitar as well as my computer. If anyone has some tips, please let me know.

Good plan. Make sure to drink plenty of water and keep some broth on hand. I didn't think "keto flu" was real and I paid for it. Drink a cup of chicken broth if you start feeling a bit woozy. It makes a great snack, too.

Honestly, the reddit keto threads have helped me the most. That and ruled.me for recipes.
