What did you accomplish today?

Ordered a new carbon filter, should be here tomorrow. I'll be damned if I am going to turn on the AC in the winter time. Hopefully going to a 6" line and fan will control my temps better. I'll use the 4" one as a new return fan, I'm sure it will move more air then the 4" inline one I have there now.
AC in the winter?

A friend that lives in Detroit loves the winter months there. The average temp fluctuates around 28 - 30 F daily.

He opens the door and has a big fan blow into the house.

Sounds crazy but I have watched him do it.

Why?

That dood is a Computer freak. That fan blows directly into his computer case, thus reducing the temp of the CPU.

He is an Overclocking nut. Spends hours tweaking the BIOS just for fun.

Now this is real overclocking! | New technology, Technology, Cyber security

I have the freezing mist going on out there. How'd you end up doing the steak?
A buddy came over and I carved off 2 nice steaks, pan seared them and then finished them in the oven. Made some baked potatoes, broccoli, fresh bread, and fresh tossed salad...it was the best meal I've had in quite a while!! Filet was like butter. Might try a few on the grill tonight.

"So, I have this condition that causes me pain and practicing guitar is difficult. So I took a cheap one and hacked it up and put a belly cut and an arm bevel on it like a Stratocaster has.







Tomorrow make a nut and saddle (where the strings go over) and hopefully it will be playable.
That’s frikkin nice! They should make all acoustics like that! Want that done to my Fernandez cutaway!

There are some custom builders that are doing both the belly cut (actually rib) and many, even Taylor that is doing a small arm bevel. they are also rolling the edges to be more comfortable. I did that probably five years ago on a guitar I built but it looked kind of funny. Now it is starting to catch on. I have done light rolling of the edges on a couple. I also bent the top rather than cut a bevel in it.



Another thing that luthiers have done is to create a 'wedge' shaped body. It is easier on the arm and the shoulder for those with pain problems. This bottom one has a little wedge to it and a gentle roll to the top.



I really want to get back into building but my plants are taking most of my free time.
