Yesterday I bought a new electric guitar and amp. I picked it out (no pun intended) on Friday at noon and mulled (prayed) it over for 24 hours. (The last time I bought an electric guitar the Lord told me very distinctly - in the middle of the night - to take it back. But this time I checked with Him before I bought anything.)
I'm really happy with the guitar and the amp both. The guitar is a Washburn Idol model, solid body, blue, with a beautfiful tone. The amp has all kinds of effects so I can sound like anything I want to and some things I don't want to. Amps are different these days than the last one I had many, many years ago - used to be the only effect they had was reverb, but now they're packed with stuff.
Luckily for my wife, there's a jack for headphones so she doesn't have to suffer through my heavy metal phase.
Yesterday we also got our immunizations for our Paraguay trip - 3 shots and a pill. I had already had the 2 other shots I needed. We might have to get one more.
Two of the neighbor's three pit bulls got into a death fight yesterday and we called Animal Control, who came and took them away; the dogs will have to be put to sleep. I'm going to tell the landlord that the remaining dog and the cage have got to go - can't have that in a residential neighborhood.
So - yesterday (Friday) was a flurry of activity from sunup to well past sundown. Luckily, I took the day off. Today - I'll play that guitar until my fingers get so sore I can't play anymore. I'm looking forward to jamming in church and Harp & Bowl.
