My roommate put together that huge Barad-Dûr Lego set.

So I had to meme it up

Yes he wields it as a weapon.
Yes he's figured out how to open doors.

The portal was weird, it's like going thru security and then you've arrived. We didn't get to see any ghasts but there was a bunch of tame piglins selling magnets made of netherrack that say dumb boomer things. The fortress was pretty cool but it's not like you can go inside. 6/10 meh.

I didn't know Bruce Springsteen played Explorers. Oh. Wait.

If you ever wanted to watch 25 seconds of some fat guy in a dirty shirt playing Clapton, now's your chance.

I watched a YouTube video with someone playing a riff on a looper through 70+ fuzz pedals, edited to play in rapid succession. By that, I found this thing called the Crom, like Conan the Barbarian, and it might be one of the most favorite pedals I've ever bought. It rules.

I'm gonna get one of those cheap jhs notaklöns and paint the case gold and put an invert centaur sticker on it.

I'm more of a "one really nice guitar" kinda guy. I own them in serial rather than parallel! Mostly for money and space issues.

The electric and the acoustic.

After a year of waiting, my micromonsta 2 showed up. This thing will be perfect for my travels. Tiny, sounds good, inexpensive (unless you buy the scalped ones on Reverb).

I legitimately needed a guitar tuner. They're not expensive, and I don't have one on my pedal board, which is really the place for it.

I did not, in any fashion, need the guitar tuner that I purchased. But I did it anyway. Because I'm a dumb meme and it made me laugh.

There's a little known law of guitar-ing that says you have to have at least 3 capos or you'll never find one when you need it.

Attempt to use Mouser's official Android app to find a capacitor

Find cap and click on it for further details

I'm going to post a bit of a Karen moment here. This will not concern many of you and for that I apologize. This is more for my followers who are musicians and buy musical gear.

Most of you probably already know this, but Gibson Inc is an awful company these days.

So, I built a little lightbulb current limiter today. It's not exactly a difficult or complicated project, but something I needed. I'm going to try to recap, tune up, and possibly repair my roommates 25-year-old twin reissue. I'm sure I'll share pictures and stories, unless it kills me lol
