Footings??? More story please, (concrete man in my very early life).

I was a brick mason’s helper for three hours. Does that count?

They had concrete back then?

Ugh, you were the whiny brick sand people. Oh, my sand's to rocky, oh, my sane has to muck dirt, oh my sand's to wet.

Yeah, we also pumped/delivered sand and gravel.

I was actually the carry-a-hod-of-bricks-up-six-flights-of-scaffolding person.

Shocking how quickly that loses its appeal.

Got the Quick Draw Capo I ordered. Unfortunately, it left a lot to be desired, specifically the part that's supposed to contact the strings. It's pretty thin, seems like it could be damaged rather quickly, and it takes a surprising amount of effort to roll over the nut. I broke out the Glider capo and it actually seems to be better, even if the hook in one of the crucial springs seems to be under strain, making it a bit precarious as a long-term capo.

It looks like the ideal would have the top of the Glider capo with the bottom of the Quick Draw, and I wonder how difficult it would be to either combine the two or to mitigate the problems of either one, either closing the eye hook in the spring of the Glider (would solder work?), or beefing up the top of the Quick Draw. And here's pictures for reference:

Damnit - I wonder if your recent health issue is making this linger.

Please get better soon.

Update on the capo situation: the little cap on the end of the QuickDraw flew off when I removed it and I have no idea where the fuck it went. So I guess finding a way to close that gap on the Glider is the way to go.
