Make sure the drops you are using are "preservative free". Many have benzalkonium chloride in them as preservative and may be counterproductive
in your case.

The public defender actually helped me win the case. The paid attorney was a straight snake. He assumed I was just lying about being innocent even after I explained everything. He was a dump truck. Get a case, make a deal, and dump the client. The public defender that I had before him even checked up on me to see how my case was doing when we bumped into each other at court. He genuinely seemed like he wanted me to be free. I distrusted public defenders because most are dump trucks. Those two good ones gave me hope that there is actual public defenders left fighting for the innocent and not in cahoots with the DAs and judges.

Dunno how it is in your county, but PD's can be any type: some volunteer, some are "drafted"(reg lawyer must serve X time as a PD,etc); some are fresh from law school looking for a career in DA's office. Their motives are different, altruistic or self-serving. Glad you lucked out and met a couple who believe in the concept of honesty and justice.

I know what you mean. The judge I had started out as a defense attorney. Both of his sons are defense attorneys atm. He was a bitch. His first offer was 56-L lol. Like what?! Over here they only “draft” them from what they call “the wheel” if your case is high profile. I guess mine was, because no volunteer wanted to pick up the case. The lawyer that won my case was one of the lawyers on “the wheel”. My co-defendants lawyer was a bloodhound. He was really cool and fought super hard for him because they were charging him as an adult for a crime he didn’t commit and he was still a minor.

Those guys unfortunately tend to be the exception, some have caste/class bias, others don't want to rock the DA's boat and others are lazy cuz they aren't paid much for PD cases. I'd bet your 2 guys aren't well liked by the DA's office lol

No, he was deep in the lawyer game. 20+ years. The lawyer that helped win the case seemed kinda bored with the case tbh lol.

Wow am I out of shape...Just cut two tiny city lawns and I was sweating like a waterfall, and damned the "new" push mower I bought is a POS!
I either need drugs or a nap, or both!
I managed to coax all my student tenants into paying their final months rent...Many try to weasel out of it. And I informed them the going rate for cleaning is now $60 an hour due to covid, so make sure you clean up good on the way out!

My married violinist gf is coming over today to play some music! First time in over a year, so I've been cleaning a lot and making the place extra inviting. We have a gig together on Saturday, and we're going to choose and go over that music, plus hang out a little and catch up. I haven't played live music with anyone but my best friend/pianist in since last summer, and he's not very attractive. Gonna have breakfast then jump in the shower and make myself smell nice, it's the least I can do since she always smells so good. I'll behave, of course, just excited about the human contact. There's nothing more intimate than some great chamber music. Well...

It just may have been the cosine. I guessed, how'd you know it wasn't. I like the going off- hyperbolic statement..?.witty,witty.

Maybe you can get lucky and see some ankle. The Victorians sure knew how to do things, absence makes the heart fonder. Or something like that. Great to play with someone else though. I am just a budding learner but been around musicians and live music forever. Nothing for a year though, something I never imagined.
What have I done today? I fitted a back plate to an electric guitar I am building. I was going to make a bridge plate and position it so I would know how much more wood to hog out. I was just going to leave a section where the screws anchored in and take away all but a section in the middle. Just never got around to doing it, today I said I would get in and work on it. Of course the plates of wood I was going to use to fill in the back originally were sitting there and I wanted to see which Ones were usable to me now. Being squirrel-like, I focused on one piece and started shaping it to fit in the one side. By the time I got it close to where I wanted it I realized I was going to route where it fit into away. (Insert swear word).
So now I can use this one for a pattern or leave the ledge where it sits on and make a new one to fit what I envisioned what I was going to do or just leave it as is, forget about the extra ounces. Mind you I can do the other side now and once it is done hog out a section in the middle with the ledges the two are on to hold a middle plate. And who said my life was going to be easy. I do it to myself though.

What do you do when you do?

I can't remember which. Was it 2"x3" or was it 2"x4", have to check.
Looks like 2x3.
Maybe 2x4. The two middle ones were 2X3 stacked on each other. I was unsure if I was going to make it acoustic or electric and left it long enough for either and started on the neck.
I resawed some spruce before and bent the sides and it sat like that as I was more concerned with my plants.
I was making this one light in weight because I had a chemical reaction and it sensitized my skin. I have a normal Stratocaster but it becomes painful on my lap. So I am making one that if fairly light. I am going to use ukulele tuners that weigh less than normal ones to keep the neck lighter and the balance of the guitar better. I have a pickup that is for a archtop styled guitar that is attached to the neck. I was floundering around back and forth making it and stumbled forward to where I am now. I will do the spruce acoustic guitar yet, either the above sides or make a Les Paul sized body. I have made smaller acoustics with spruce, there is a learning curve but the wood can make a decent guitar. I have made both steel string and nylon with spruce. This was my first nylon. It was an experimental one and I did not waste time putting a rosette in. I regret it as it did make for a fun guitar.
I guess I must say the wood was choice wood, it just was unlucky enough to be made into lumber. Over the years I have checked the lumber piles to find the choice sticks of wood that was good enough to make a guitar out of. Straight grain and quartered wood.
