Woke ip to a mental health scare this morning.
I thought I might be turning into a pacifist!
False alarm!

Travel day from hell, but I'm back south of the border.
Is there any US air carrier that doesn't suck? American Airlines baggage check was a complete cluster fuck, and for some unknown reason they decided that the best time to fix a cosmetic issue with interior window trim is when the aircraft is boarded (late) and ready to push back.

Must have been a bit blustery during the afternoon storm. The patio furniture is no longer where it usually is.

Went diving today, going diving tomorrow as well. Two days ago there were a dozen manta rays at the site, they weren't there today. I did see three of the resident eagle rays out feeding and a loggerhead turtle, not to mention huge schools of damselfish, surgeonfish, and trevally.

Fondling my new mistress.
Early days yet, but I've got three chords I can usually get to ring true without a ton of fussing and my chord changes, while still slow and sloppy, are getting better.
Oddly, and very unrelatedly, my keyboarding skills (computer, not instrument) are improving noticeably quicker now that I'm learning the guitar.

"And I only know three chords!"

Thanks to Cheech and Chong, for that one. I keed. Seriously, I admire your taking on a musical hobby. I tried it with a harmonica, and I can't for the life of me get myself to read music.

Strange, because I have a degree in physics. Between the math and the physics, I've manipulated symbols seemingly
ad infinitum.

Dude goes out and buys a made-in-USA fat strat with what looks like a Floyd Rose bridge to learn to play guitar?
Dude, I like the cut of your jib. And the figure of the wood.

First day back from the trip, still tired.

Making a list of stuff I should do today but probably won’t.
