Got to swing by the practice space to grab the feedback looper. Hasn't worked right in about 3 months. Need to see if I can figure it out. Guitar player had some riffs on his phone and one was just straight noise with a little riff he does. I was like, we need a song like that. He goes, let's buy fed backer distortion pedals. Well my looper should be nasty enough. Just got to get it working.

Is there ever a "Professional Edibles Taster" job listed in your local classifieds?

Nah but a few months back there were allot of posts for positions at marijuana startups. Plant tenders/processors, management.
You know, jobs for people with skills.
There were also allot of jobs for recipe creators.
I'll have to look for them again, cause even if they're legit they don't sound that way.

Always pictured you as a pumpkin or turquoise type.

Seriously, that looks cool though. I just hain't campin' like I used to.

May have mentioned this, but my wife really wants to wait until our older daughter leaves home then buy an RV and live in it full time.

There are things I sincerely like about the idea, but I have serious reservations.

1. I don't know how well three humans and two dogs can live full time in a trailer or vehicle that's, what, say 30' X 10' without killing each other.

2. I'm very skeptical that it would actually be cheaper than renting or buying a home. Consider the payment on the RV, the insurance, lot/camping fees to keep it parked somewhere by the week or monthly or whatever, not to mention gas, propane, running a jenny...

2b. If we got a fifth wheel, those are cheaper, but you have to have a vehicle to haul them (which we also don't have.) If you get a Class C, you'd have to tow a vehicle all the time, they get like 5 miles per gallon, lots can go wrong under the hood with them and they ain't cheap.

3. I'm not very materialistic and we don't own much stuff since that flood. But I don't know if I want to pare down all my belonging to 3 books, one CD folder of music and DVDs, a bass and micro amp and a knapsack full of clothes.

I just, really, at heart don't like the idea of an RV being our home. Wife thinks it's our only hope somehow. I don't think it's necessarily The Answer though I like the idea of owning something that, if we could pay it off quick enough and we could afford it, would at least be OURS and if things got real rough or we decided to move across country we wouldn't have to worry about selling a house or packing everything we own into a moving van, then getting where we are going and having to shell out for rent, deposits on a rent place, deposits on utilities, etc., etc.

What's an old doom dude to do, dudes?

I'd need somewhere permanent to retreat to when the road life gets tiring. I'd say buy some property in country, park your RV on it while you save up/build a home. Or travel for a few months/years/whatever, but keep a spot of land to come back to. As much as I love to travel and see new places, I'd need to have a permanent piece of land. Always being on the road sounds exhausting (guessing you'd be the one driving it all), and I don't think I'd like to associate with the permanent campground folks.

See that's another thing. We wouldn't even be traveling a lot. I've come to realize I will be working until the day I die;. It's not like we can just road trip around aimlessly, so we'd have to be in an RV campground more or less full time.

I could see doing this IF we had our own patch of land, but I see NO WAY of affording the RV, land, some kind of other vehicle, etc., etc. I really think we'd end up paying a sh!t-ton more than we do renting and paying utilities. I also think we could, in the right circumstances, eventually own our own home. I prefer this scenario greatly but my wife seems to think we could cut our living expenses down to a third in some magic way by owning an RV. I've done a little research and I'm just not seeing it. I LOVE this woman, but I don't think she understands how expensive this would really be, or how sick she'd get of living in a large sardine can 24/7, even if we were able to park it in pretty places now and then.

Yeah, pretty high price, but--pro setup and original case!

I knew even as a teenager that those things weren't worth the $10 price tags you'd see at pawn shops and garage sales. They're toys, not instruments. Yes, they look funky/retro/cool, but come on, they're garbage. I thought EVERYONE KNEW THAT THEY'RE GARBAGE.

A friend of mine has one of these:
Harmony by Heath H-78 TG-46 | Reverb

It's actually a fairly decent guitar. I think he got it for $50.00. I'm emailing him tonight and telling him to put that sucker up for sale before the hipsters come to their senses.

I seriously remember when you couldn't GIVE stuff like this away. Danelectros too--I distinctly remember in the 80s at this really cool shop in Tulsa called Strings West--they literally had two big racks full of old 60s Danos and Silvertones for like $50 and $65 each. Amp in case models for $100. They just sat there and sat there. At the time the Big Thing was shredmetal guitars...pointy, neon-colors...Superstrats, etc. Old things like these Teiscos and Harmonys and such that go for funny money now just gathered dust. Hell, even Gibson and Gretsch hollowbodies could be had for a song back then...nobody wanted the things because it wasn't what everyone on MTV was playing.

The hipsters ain't coming to their senses. They are birthing the next gen of hipsters who will be buying and selling cheap 60s bizarro pawn shop guitars in the $3000-4000 range.

I think it has something to do with how tight their peg pants are and the fact they wear old hand-knit wool beanies they pick up at Goodwill even when it's 95-100 degrees out.
