So Anyway...

BEWARE of the site Project Baseline, which offered the appointment making utility for the COVID-19 test I went for Tuesday.

When i looked it up afterwards, there was one search result saying it is a Google operation, and may be for mining passwords.
You have to make up a user or sign in under Google, Facebook, etc, and it needs your password.

So, who knows, either way JTCNJ got intercoursed.
jtcnj does not like to be intercoursed by anyone but Mrs. jtcnj.

When I showed up to the drive through test site at a CVS RX in my town, with my appt. confirmation email, I was told they dont do testing at all at that store. Simple mistake? maybe - maybe not.
I did have to leave work a little early, unpaid.

Annoyed, but hopeful, I went to one of the other stores that does - closer to home, (only the first was listed as "near me" by the site).
The nurse had already left, so , no test.

I was so angry it seemed blood would shoot from my eyes.

I am so tired of being kicked around with no accountability and have to just eat it.
Almost 2 months ago I had a cardiologist nuclear stress test scheduled. I got there and was told it was denied by my health insurance and the appt. cancelled.


BUT nobody called my cell or home phone.
I did not take it out on the person I dealt with at either site in the slightest.
Still waiting for the approval since then.

Just instances of the way things are done too often today.

So, I get tested yesterday; no issues using Minuteclinic as the scheduler.

And - pivot back to the stress test: yesterday I got approved for a basic stress test, only valid until March 12.
Depending on my COVID test result, and possible quarantine time, could derail that as well.
If positive, I will honor the quarantine; I will not expose anyone but sometimes I wonder why I give a damn.

Sorry for the long rant.

I hope the test is negative. As for the stress test, that can improve by not letting this BS get to you - sign of the times brother.

You likely did this already, but don't forget to change ALL your passwords after that possibly fake COVID registration event
 
The thing with me is I play for fun. I don't try to copy anyone's style of playing or sounds. I just create tones and sounds that are pleasing to my ears, through my amp and the pickups that are in my guitars. I don't spend hours trying to find a specific tone or a specific style of how to play. I just play my own style whatever that is lol. Like everyone there are a few moments when you are trying to learn something and you get stuck, then you get tired. As soon as i get tired i put the guitar down and forget about it until next day, in between that time things are going through my head and some of it gets worked out, go back at it the next day bang i picked up what i couldn't the day before. I don't pressure myself, but i am consistent and persistent and keep moving ahead until i reach that place i want to go. So far it has worked for me.

I have tried to cop different tones at times per requests , but for the most part my tone is what I like hearing, it just happens to be the same as a lot of the music I listen to.
And last night I found myself not to pleased with what I was trying to do, and will get back at it tonight.
Cheers

I just let me be me. Music isn't supposed to be a competition. It's for enjoyment.

That it is .
Just in my case I am redoing most of the things I have already done but each time it’s a bit different, still need to do a song list and stick to it.
That way I won’t be trying something that is just a rehash of something I have already done.
I know a lot of rambling.
Cheers
 
So, my covid19 test came back positive.
Feel ok, a little run down, sometimes tired and cranky.....
wait thats pretty much normal.

Rest of my household went for tests yesterday.
I got set up to work from home.
Though it is not complete or ideal, I wont have to burn vacation days.
 
So, anyway...

This is my nemesis. I've now lost 45 pounds and it is time to address my fears. A few years ago I was on this for 2 hours a day in the winter. Needless to say I haven't been on it since before I got my first hip replacement which was over 6 years ago.

I just rode 1 mile! Maybe tomorrow I'll do 2.
