Had to go to my local lumber yard to buy some pressure treated 2x8’s. Home Cheapo was out, and they say that lumber was diverted to Florida to deal with Hurricane Ian’s aftermath.
While at Home Cheapo I was looking at more Milwaukee Packout tool boxes, and I decided to buy their large toolbox. I asked an employee to scan the tag for the price: $89.00, then I opened the lid to show the tray inside and inquired if the tray comes with the tool box, and I was told yes.
So at the checkout, the cashier opens the tool box, removes the tray, then replaces it and rings me up.
When I get home I see a sticker on the tray that it is sold separately, and I go online to discover I got the $39.97 tray for free. Pretty much as a result of three oversights/mistakes: mine; an employee; and the cashier. Anyway seems like it was meant to be…
Truth be told, even if the Home Cheapo employee told me they were separate items I still would of bought both items because I like them and need them. Pretty much this large tool box will be for all my battery powered Milwaukee tools and batteries.
So another act of divine intervention, and I saved $39.97 plus tax. I love it.
Ordered a cubic yard of gravel for my 4x8 cedar shed. I’m hoping that “Maggie” does not want it painted. Pretty much weathered knotted cedar gets a nice grey patina that I favor over extra work. The gravel will get delivered tomorrow.
Been playing my three Santa Cruz’s. The new 1934 Model “F” now has this growl of overtones on the low end. The sound resembles a horn section in complexity and fullness. This is a mucho crazy guitar, and it is still breaking in. Every day it is different and more and more open. The sound is getting much more full, and something happened in my playing that is a bit of a breakthrough.
I kinda am developing my own voice, concept, and style. I play with pick and fingers so what is emerging is kinda like a piano where the left hand handles the bass line, and the right the treble register. My approach is that the pick is like my left hand with a percussive attack on the bass strings, and my three fingers work the three higher strings.
I am developing this technic where I can strum two or three wound strings, and pull on the treble strings. The sound is hard to describe but the tone is like a piano on the bass strings and a harp being plucked on the treble strings. Of course I mix things up a lot so conventional guitar playing also is used. Anyways there is a lot of surprise happening, because a lot is going on.
