Sat down with the banjo for a minute. Just noodling around on chords. Can't figure out why it sounds familiar. Capo second fret. I love it when I accidentally learn a song.

Hi, I'm Shane. I play bass in the band @slugnudger.bsky.social If you like ska, punk, ska/punk, hardcore, or slam you should check us out. We play shows. We have music. I think you should come see us because that would be supercool. Keyword: country. Ignore keyword because we're talking about

I'm going to try something later. Using the same format as "that last post." You know, to see if the same thing happens.

Hi, I'm shane. I sign up for difficult things. Today I signed on to be a fill in bass player for two nights for a country band. I have three weeks to learn 32 songs. I'm going to be on vacation for a week of that. I get one practice with the band. Did you hear that? I just slapped myself.

Frantically studying banjo chords, because I have no idea what they are, because I'm self taught, and I'm a terrible teacher. Thursday night I'll hopefully be jamming in a campsite.

Come see me play basses with as many as 8 strings, but mostly 4, and sometimes 6 but with frets.

You take a harmonic percolator, remove some stuff, add back off the shelf parts and you get a harmonic jerkylator. Change some stuff, add an LED and you get this. Glitchy, synthy fuzz. Coming soon.

Morning observation: there's a lot more leaves on the ground today. It's coming. That upper south season that isn't summer but isn't winter because we don't get the other two seasons without ice storms or tornados.

I miss the olden days when the mail would move towards you. I ordered something a month ago and it has steadily moved eastwards across the state. I was shipped from about 40 miles away and now it's 300 miles away. Needless to say, I'll be redesigning this PCB and stocking it myself moving forward.

It's so nice when your stressed out, wonky brain pulls through and does something nice for you. Like waking up and finding an ultra peachy keen monster in the fridge. Thanks brain, you're a good friend, sometimes.

I've been tinkering with my 3D print settings this week. On a whim I merged a very specific print profile for CF Nylon with with temperature settings for PLA+ and have come out the other side needing to make one change: more cooling on overhangs, or more interface gap on supports. Which one first?

The shake awake Sig has been relocated to the deepest, darkest corner of the safe. Ruger RXM is stepping in to replace. I dislike this move because I spent years of practice with the Sig and now it kind of feels like starting over.

If I've learned anything today, it is that the toan is in the ink used to print the magic overdrive pedal.

This one almost broke me. According to my handy dandy serial number spreadsheet this is build 36 of the last 13 months. The @pedalpcb Cleaver board was a gift from the elder child. I think I did everything I could to sabotage this one. I was out of whatever film box that green cap needed to be.

Let's play a game: will I get this Big Muff to work right on the first try or now? Will I even finish it this weekend? (I won't, because I'm still waiting on some parts.) Will I get sidetracked by a different pedal? Likely. I really want to finish this one though.

I guess I mini rack now. Printed this LabRax mini rack a few weeks ago. Nuts and bolts finally arrived today. I've got a pair of Raspberry Pi 4s to go in it. Already made the CAD file for the Pi shelf, just need to print it. Then I have to figure out everything else.

Extra 50mg of caffeine in my water bottle this morning. I have a dumb idea for some pedal art i'm going to try to laser blast. I have CAD work to finalize. But "I am le tired" and have no time for a nap and I'm out of missiles.

After fighting with this dumb laser for a week I did what any curious kid would do: I cranked it up to 100% power and it solved all my problems. I wish I could show off what I did butttttttttttt: NDA says I can't.
