So Anyway...

So, this morning, I was sitting at my PC and a musical friend popped up (on messenger) and asked if I could potentially fill in for a missing guitarist in a Deep Purple tribute and asked if I knew any DP, so i played this for him in real time and he said, "you've got the job."

Honestly, I didn't think it was a very good rendition, but here's the 30 second audition.

I had my phone sitting propped up against the printer with my headphones laying next to them. Playing this in position 4 using the two Artec Screw Pole Piece Hum Canceling 7k Singles set 2/64" from the strings:

Yes, I am fine. I do have some pain in my upper buttocks area above the tail bone, but I've had worse. Otherwise I feel great.

Interestingly, the office manager interview changed into a bike shop manager interview and it seemed to go extremely well. The owner dropped out of college and started Granite Gear with a buddy in the way back. They sold it 5-6 years ago and he started the bike/bike bag/coffee shop business. One of the bike shop employees actually commented on my Tube Depot shirt and there is yet another connection between bikes and guitars. It seems pretty common.

Well awesome on all accounts! Glad you're feeling better and the job bit sounds great as well
 
So anyway, I got back here to the house after the interview and the power is out. Well, it happens frequently in the middle of nowhere. I finally called the power company to see what was up. "A truck hit a power pole, we are working on it" was the response. At least the wife didn't forget to pay the power bill again. So, a few minutes ago I texted my cousin working on the fire and said: One of your guys hit a power pole! He responded " yeah, it was one of my crew, ugh." What are the chances? There's about 300 guys working on it.
 
So anyway, having fun working on a counter top area in the basement build out. This is in the “cellar” room (wine tasting). It is next to what will be a little kitchenette area which will have a sink (on top of that barrel), an under counter frig, microwave, toaster oven and a coffee maker.

I got the first 2 rows of corks glued. The cork walls will go all the way to the ceiling. The flat surface will be covered in a bottle cap mosaic and will then be covered with 3/4” clear epoxy resin (up to the level of the 1x2 frame/dam).

Thanks Norm. It’s been a labor of love. We get the flooring tile and carpet installed in November. It then becomes a very livable space. Turns out we are adding 1600 sq ft (carpet and tile measurements) to the house. Heck, that’s bigger than my first house of 1400 sq ft ! I told the wife it would take me about 6 months to finish the basement when we bought the place. I’m now going on month 18 :run:
