the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

The last couple of days have been a real improvement. My wife no longer wants to leave the facility she is at and will stay the duration. We talk on the phone every night and it is really positive. I'm getting used to taking care of the dogs and cats and myself on top of working.

Three years ago, when I lived with my dad during the divorce, he and I found a Sound-Craft Lecternette. It is an amplifier for public speakers. The top is held on by two clasps. Opening them reveals a lectern with a microphone stand and a light fixture, volume, bass, and treble knobs, and on/off switches for the various inputs and a master power. There are 3 phono/microphone inputs and a quarter inch input. The speakers are a pair of vintage Jensen 6" with square magnets. It is solid state, with huge transformers. The volume isn't overwhelming, but it compresses and sags easily without a boost pedal. It is a nice clean sound and it only cost me $4. He brought it down from New York, so I have an amp again. I can finally start playing again. I need music in my life. Maybe I can start reviewing pedals again? I hope so.

Just made pancakes for breakfast while listening to Gentle Giant. I should get the Nobel Peace Price.

You should get toasted and put elder on while you eat them.
Then I will present the prize to you myself.
Telepathically.

I am drinking.

My girlfriend and I got a pretty much brand new set of washer and dryer for $100! And it all works great. My son has his own bedroom in the new place and I have room for guitars and woodworking shit. So I can hopefully finish my first scratch build guitar.

I guess this page means that food is the pathway to happiness.
