I love Cornbread Nation. It’s the only song I can think of that has a recipe in the lyrics.

The only good coffee is a dead coffee. Tea's pretty good, though. Lucky for you I have had my coffee or I would be driving over there!😡

I like changing strings when it’s done, and they have that nice new feel, and I also take the opportunity the clean the guitar. The actual changing part, no so much. I also find I like just about every set of strings I put on. A new set of strings is a treat, no matter what. It always comes down to longevity for me, but I don’t have particularly acid fingers, so strings can last for months. Generally use Elixirs, but have the been trying D’Addario XS strings and quite like them. I’d never have thought to check hex core vs round core, I always assumed they were always hex, just for the grip. I could see how it would be a different sound/feel. I was just looking at the D’Addario XS strings. They run around $20 a set. It's gotten insane how much these companies want for a set of strings. Like a longevity premium. I did find I can buy in the XS strings in bulk (25 sets) that come out to $10 a set. But if they last as long as they suggest, they might be antiques by the time I got to use them all. I use those a lot. They easily go 6-9 months for me. Depending on how much you play them, they come close to being forever strings. They sound and feel great, too. And they stay that way. To me, they are worth the cost, but I do look for sales.

Foggy, hazy, humid. Today’s weather in a nutshell. At least the coffee is good.

Not a good day so far. Can't stay standing for more than 5 min or so. Sitting is fine so that's what I'm doing but that doesn't help me get any work done. Time to call my PTs for another visit. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Wednesday is Wednesday. Nothing humpy about it. Just another happy, stress free day. There was a fox in the backyard yesterday. Bright orangish red and he/she had stealthy movements down to an art form. Enjoy the day.

If they are round core, it will say on the package.

Nobody should live with stinky grass. My yard smells fresh as a daisy. Well, as fresh as grass and dirt can smell, anyway.

You’ll be passing through Crown Point on your way to OTSFM. Any time frame ideas? You are only 2-3 hours to my south. Lunch or dinner in CP?

We’ll cool JohnB. I plan on going. We’ll have to hook up. I haven’t decided what day. I just like to walk around and try out fancy guitars. There are some really cool instruments you’ll never see anywhere else. I picked up a fan fret and played a little on it. The luthier watched me like a Hawk. Said it was already sold for $25k. Very nice guitar. Brazilian Rosewood, of course. Played many other very nice instruments. Fun. I sat in on an interview with Molly Tuttle. . I am in for Saturday, if that helps you decide. Of course, maybe it makes you decide NOT to choose Saturday. Anyway, I did an all access for the 26th. 😊

I have an Ernie Ball power string winder that makes it go pretty quickly but I usually use a zebra wood winder made by a grumpy old guy in MN. It’s all the winder anyone could ever need and it is gorgeous.
