Sars Cov 2 … the grinder continues to eat away at resources and humanity.

Ready for a little uncovid, unprepper news?

I bought a totally unplanned item the other day for mental health. Mine!

We had to replace a microphone for the post and the only place that had them was one of the music stores in town. While Mr. TB was getting that, I was looking at the keyboards. I'm SO out of practice, since I had to leave my upright grand and gramma's big church organ in Texas. I haven't even touched a keyboard in several years.

Most of what they had were either beginner levels or performance keyboards. Neither of which would I use much. They had a Yamaha P-125 for a very decent price, so it followed me home. It's sitting on my kitchen table right now because I have to move some furniture around to put it in the corner I want it in. That's my project for the next couple of days.

I asked the store owner if I didn't buy it now, how long would it take to get another in. He said that it would be at least 6 months. After going through that with other things I ordered last year, I bought it off the floor. The very best part is I also got a good set of headphones so I can play to my heart's content and not bother anyone!

I know it's not the latest and greatest, but I love the touch and sound. I'm not professional anymore and won't be. This is enough and as long as there is electricity, I'm good.

Going for broke..

That's awesome and so deserved!!! And uncanny..... I was thinking of you this morning and wondering if you would consider a keyboard since you mentioned not having your piano in your current house.

Good job!

I looked at them last year when we were all locked down. Even though I watched all the videos, I didn't want to order one sight unseen. I've always been a purist but I had played a Yamaha Clavinova (sp?) years ago. I really wanted one, but we were in Europe at the time and the electricity was different. Besides, those are REALLY expensive.

I never thought I would ever get a keyboard, but desperate times call for desperate measures!

Nothing like the smell and sound of a brand new keyboard. You, me, and SpinalCracker will have to collaborate on some music sometime.

Thanks guys! I was a bit afraid y'all would think it was frivolous and a waste of money. It really was the most expensive "impulse buy" I've ever done. It should be easier on the arthritis in my hands and wrists, too.

No way, Jose'! I think it's wonderful, and you have to record something for us!

Well that FUCKING SUCKS. and this is with transition to home testing because the state sites were shut down.

Hah!! Not in the near future!

TB, I am so happy and proud of you! Music is so important!

CC, have you heard of the Kratky method of gardening? Zeph would love it. You can see the roots! I'm doing my first experiment with mint in a water jug in the window....it's pretty cool. I will try to post a picture soon. :)

Given the shit show we are having to live through and not get to be out & aboot..... nothing to save our sanity is frivolous.

The bills are paid. The food and necessities are stocked. FTW.

I just brought in a large delivery and then Amazon turned around with 4 boxes. Ahhhhhhhh.

Bring on the fun.

I'll bet you'll be able to build a McMansion soon from all those boxes!

Oh the things we have done with boxes.... after they get outta quarantine.

Who needs firewood? We have paper bricks coming out our ears.

Good grief..
