Hotter

Wednesday: Slept until about 10. Cats, web, shower. Had some breakfast, then down basement. Drums, morning practices. Fixed a guitar cable. Looked at another one, a venerable old heavy duty cable, that seemed shorted out, only to notice that it had a "feature" that shorted it out when not fully plugged in. Disabled that, and it worked fine. Found someone teaching something called "YogaGuitar" in Davis, based on the work of Gurdjieff.

Headed off to work. Burned my hand a little on my car. That hot. Cranked the AC and drove across town. More bug triage today. Didn't actually do anything. Some video equipment arrived for me, but it turns out the camera does not have a microphone input, which renders it useless to me. Hopefully I can return it. Talked to B about strategies for prioritizing bugs and feature requests. We shipped today. Took a walk out and picked up a CD player that I was having repaired. Bought a couple of DVDs. Ate pizza. Shawn called to tell me we would not be rehearsing tonight. Headed home around 8:30.

Back home, talked to MB for a bit. Played guitar for a good long time. Been having some interesting dialog with the luthier about how the tone will change over time. Adjusted the action. On this guitar, its as simple as giving a small twist to a recessed bolt using an Allen Wrench. Very good.
