Visited my old home of St Pete, FL and left very sad. Completely unrecognizable from 10 years ago. The punks are gone, the magic completely empty. Whitewashed corpo condos and fast casual chains line Central Ave. An example in how NOT to grow as a city.

Lechon plato from Bedega on Central. It's not what it used to be, unfortunately.

Chicago dog from The Burg. This place still fucks.

Mirror selfie on my out of the hotel, about to leave Florida (finally)

Building some more wall absorbers. Cutting the sides out for more exposed absorption area and leaving a 1" air gap at the rear.

Missing Colorado terribly. Take me back please.

Last few days in southwest Colorado

Driving from NC to Colorado and back in a couple weeks. If anyone I know here wants to have a beer anywhere along the way, or shred some powder with me in CO, definitely say hey.

Mix glue. It's really hard to beat the TK Audio bus comp.

Special drink from last night that I had been saving since my last LA trip. Cellador Ales wild saison with plums, bottled in 2021.

Tulip glass half filled with an amber colored beer, with an airy foam head on top. Sat next to the bottle on a counter.

The Fender contingent of my guitar collection. 1990 Mexican Strat and a 2015 Baja Tele, both heavily modded.

Two black electric guitars made by Fender pictured on stands; to the left a Stratocaster and the right a Telecaster

The peace of a frosty morning and a hot, freshly brewed cup of coffee is still unmatched.

Handmade coffee mug with a flared lip, black with dark green accents, sitting on a wooden railing with an out of focus grass yard in the background. Frost lingers on the grass as smoke subtlety rises off the surface of black coffee.

More guitar nerddom. Ordered my first Kiesel earlier this year, which is also my first foray into 7 strings. The build quality is insane and I really love the neck shape.
