I agree in principle about weight not being the number or perhaps the most portent number, but I will say that for me tracking metrics is important in my ability to stay on target during a slow process like this. i look forward to the “ what’s it going to be” every morning on the scale. And this is the first time I’ve done calorie counting - that makes a big difference. I want to just eat that cornbread muffin sitting there but more than that I don’t want to fuck up my number. Also I finally ordered a bowl for the first time at chipotle - I know bread is a calorie bomb but I finally gave in when I was playing with the nutrition counter on their website trying to figure out how I could get cheese and sour cream.

they blew up the chiclet man

straight calorie deficit right now. i have maybe 45 minutes unscheduled every day, it's a beating. I do want to start doing some casual cycling. Maybe I'll get a kettlebell or something.

Well 175 by May certainly seems achievable lol. I wish I had weighed myself in college. I was chubby in high school, at about 200, slimmed down in college when I walked everywhere and didn't have a pantry. I would guess mid 170s though is about the lowest I've been in my adult life. I'm surprised at how not difficult it's been to get close to there again. I was getting frustrated earlier this week that I was stuck at around 182, but then I went into work on Wednesday and put on a button down tucked into chinos for the first time this year and realized how much progress I'm making. I still have a belly, I wonder what I would weigh if I got actually thin. I'm about to go pull out some shirts that have been relegated to the back of the closet for about 10 years....

Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Other Good Stuff

I think she was at UT, although it could have been St Ed’s. She was part of my circle of friends (which centered around a changing network of like 6-7 bands and an art studio) circa 2006 until I fell off the face of the earth around 2013. -

I’m split between loving Stephen Wilson and loving him and feeling like he has too much shit on his voice I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this song and a few other from Plains without realizing it’s Jess from college, goddamn, good for her. -
Interesting - I had seen that he got sober but instead of retiring but has just figured it was more of a… “gave up alcohol for my health” thing rather than a “got treated for alcoholism” thing. He’s a hill country guy, curious if he went to La Ha or somewhere else. Corpus Christi Bay is a great song. Great alcoholic chorus.

just to get some o-15m sounds in here

IMO you get that looked at by the best luthier you can get it too and fix anything that needs to be fixed to keep the guitar healthy. But you leave the patina.

Looks like maybe the same branding as the Guadalajara in The Woodlands. No idea if that place still exists, it’s been 25 years at least, but they had great tortillas.

Is there anything stamped on the neck block, should be visible looking up the sound hole? agree that it’s not a ooo. I think it is an O rather than an OO. I am not good at eyeballing sizes but the rectangle bridge I think is a feature of the O and not the OO. The tuners are also interesting - when (apart from starting this year) did the 15M guitars have black plastic tuning knobs? if those discolored bridge pins are the original ones and are discolored because they are ivory, that puts this guitar at least in the 1960s. My wild assed guess would be 1950 plus or minus 5.
-
Well i failed to track down a .5mm hex key so I have to wait to fix whatever weird shit I did to the height at the bridge when I was 17, but she’s alive. Stopped by Walgreens yesterday and got a bottle of ronsonol, went to work.

I can eat the same thing all the time if I like it (for lunch) and I have no problem skipping breakfast, and my wife (who is nutrition obsessed) cooks dinner every night, so I’m in a decent spot for dieting. Especially since I’ve also given up drinking alcoholically which is orders of magnitude more difficult than Reese’s peanut butter cups. anyways, going well here although I’ve plateaued a bit at 182. I suspect I’ll break through soon but I may have to start actually exercising or more likely ditch butter on the popcorn, which is my evening treat/snack. But, calorically I’m at about 1500-1700 a day so I think I should keep dropping. i should play with this recipe but… lunch most everyday

Going back to my early 2000s playlists today, revisiting a lot from The Format. Nate whatever his last name is of course went on to more acclaim with fun. And I feel like the other guy was in Steel Train? Wait scratch that, it was Nate from The Format and some guys from Steel Train that made fun. And I think one of them was dating Maebe Fünke.

When yall have carried on or seen people carry on - still hardshell case? I assume gig bag would fit better in the little coat closet but that’s a dice roll.

Another question I’m dealing with is how to take my p bass back to Austin on a flight. I have my tweed case, I have that old cheaper tkl case pictured with the jazz bass above, I have various gig bags, none of those are ideal for checking a guitar on a plane. I want to avoid collecting additional cases, I’d like to avoid spending $200+ dollars on a case for a single flight to protect a bass with a street value of not much. But that may be what I have to do - maybe I could put some straps on that black case to secure it better and gate check it. I’ll have to call the airline once I book a flight. Has anyone here actually flown with a guitar?

alright, so I think there's a reunion show fairly solidly in the works for my old band, hatchets are attempting to be buried, after a decade+ and my drunk ass is not without blame and what have you, it's good and time and i'm excited about it. I really hadn't even picked up the bass in probably 10 years, not for real anyways. I think I posted earlier where i had pulled out my old Mike Dirnt P and took it in to get back in order. The neck was pretty good out of whack, it was pretty rusty. I had for a while been thinking about pulling some of the parts off of it and putting it on a new body, doing a phoenix bass kinda thing, but I've been running through old songs and it's feeling pretty great. Goddamn I wish the one instrument I ever used this heavily had had a nitro finish instead of this flaky poly but whatever - in the long ago - alive again G650 posted in the Non-Musical Parent thread and it send me down memory lane remembering an important concert I went to and high school, and some pictures from around that time... ....which made me want to go open the case of doom that has been closed forever. I'm going to blame the alcoholism and maybe Houston weather but I have fucked up more than a few guitars and that bass right there is one of them. I think that had less to do with booze and depression and more with being left at my dad's house and getting moved to the enclosed porch for a while. Anyways, maybe I should restore this thing, maybe instead of paying I guy I'll try my hand at this. I said this case has been closed forever - I think I pretty much stopped using this bass once I got the Dirnt P before going to college and leaving this one behind. I played in the church cross section band in high school, and the case still has loose sheet music from 2004 in it crossed my fingers on this one.... expiration date of 2005, a little swollen, but it nothing bad seems to have happened. Replaced the battery, plugged it in - the bass is almost in tune. that's unbelievable. bad crackly output, but it works. I need to figure out the best way to try and clean rust off of the pickups at least. I might should just replace all the screws. and the pickup cover for sure. or maybe i'll just take it to the guy... i should restore this thing though. If i do this I think that'll be the last of my sad case of shame guitars

I remember being super excited to go to our music venue (where my band and my friends' bands play!) to see Voodoo Glow Skulls and Rx Bandits in 2003. Pumping Bulletproof by VGS on the way there, thinking that the Rx Bandits were still this band - and then we get there and Rx Bandits play their brand new album which is all... this and in all honesty that may be the best concert I've ever been to. I think for sure the most musically transformative for me, which... feels silly but it's true. I don't even remember the Glow Skulls set. I think the next day we wrote a song ripping off their whole vibe. Also a huge huge deal for me a year or so later opening for Los Skarnales and Super Agent 8. And then 10 years later I spent a month on a tour with Reel Big Fish and didn't catch their set a single time. You have to seize those ska years, they go by quick. lol

They really should have diversified their economy. I mean you’ve got pinwheel steaks and???

I’ve played guitar for 30 years and I promise you I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between your basic set of daddarios, Ernie balls, hell GHS Boomers. I can feel the difference with nickel and probably perceive differences that aren’t there for fancier strings. get the pink pack of Ernie ball super slinkies.
