There is a human behind this bird, but it’s definitely the bird that does the thinking. Leguminati from kitchen table days. No refunds.

It's been more than a year since my previous episode dedicated to the shooting in Butler, PA. So when I saw the opportunity to have @scorpionthebird.bsky.social and @quoracthebard.bsky.social on the podcast to discuss it, I jumped at the chance. Ep 212 of Truth Unrestricted (link to follow).

It’s a tricky little dance to get the bridge + pickup and the controls installed, because the wires from the bridge need to go into the control cavity at the same time as the earth wire from the controls (poking up just to the right of the bridge) needs to go back through & past the bridge cavity

Guitar assembly update: step one, install neck & already my first mistake becomes very obvious. Clearly I underestimated how far down the heel I needed to spread the dye. Fortunately it’s nowhere obvious to the casual observer.

Guitar assembly update: the first couple of coats of Tru Oil have been applied & she’s looking beautiful. According to the internet experts I’ll need 8 or 9 coats, so there’s a bit of work still to do before final buffing & putting everything together.

I’m learning Japanese from the Owl Who Must Be Obeyed. The current unit is Expressing Yourself at a Concert, and as a an over-40 person, I very much appreciate that the last two lessons were “it’s already 10:30; I’m very tired.”
