NPD - New pedal day. It’s actually a pretty great fuzz pedal. Sounds great going into my Marshall DSL.

Sponge’s “Rotting Piñata” is a great Sunday morning album for the big speakers.

Crank it up.

Finished the rebuild of that 90’s Giant Sedona ATX for my daughter that I got for $30 at an estate sale. I had a lot of the parts on-hand, but I think I spent $150 to complete it. I think it turned out pretty sweet.

Picked up an old Giant Sedona (‘99-ish?) for $30 at an estate sale. I have some extra 26” rims and tires that will fit nicely on this and make a great replacement bike for my daughter. Her Trek was stolen from the dorm’s secure bike room at MSU.

Sat down to do the bills and get caught up on some emails for the side hustle but then ended up cleaning out the blower on my tankless water heater and swapping out the whole-house iron filter instead.
Still have to do the bills and stuff.

I love how car companies think we have room to park and charge multiple EV’s in our garages, which definitely aren’t full of bicycles, lawn and snow equipment, tubs full of Christmas and Halloween decorations, and other random junk.
