Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Well, it seems i have a cracked molar that can't be saved, going to have to get it pulled. Then I'll explore options for an implant to replace it. Good thing I have good insurance.

That sucks. I am so sick of my health insurance. The company I work for went to a high deductible HSA. So its $3k out of pocket and premiums, then the insurance covers 60%. Part of the employment agreement to participate.

Damn, that's poopy. I paid nothing for the appointment that i just had, and the extraction should be totally covered as well. To their credit, the owners of the company that i work for have increased their contributions for the last few years so we wouldn't see an increase. I work for some really cool people.

That is the problem. Almost no contribution from the company. So to make the premiums even remotely affordable, the deductible has to be crazy high. Have to have everyone in the company participating as well. not an option to opt out unless your spouse covers you 100%.
 
We're still waiting on the test presses. Hopefully they'll be coming soon, I think we're still on track for having the vinyl from the 1st pressing to ship late july/early august.

Once the 1st pressing is all shipped out, we'll be putting a second pressing up for sale.

So roughly 2nd pressing should be available in September-ish

Jammed on the album while running over lunch. Dug it big time. It was hotter than hell out, mid-80s, humid & sunny, so Miserable made for the perfect soundtrack.
