End of Summer Update

 I haven't really worked on the house this summer as Hal has been under the floor in the crawl space installing ductwork. He declined my assistance other than to pick up parts at the store. He finished last week and started plumbing the geothermal unit in this week. 

So other things: had this growth on my lower lip for all of June and July that bled like crazy and I couldn't get into see a dermatologist till August. Of course, before the appointment I was able to twist the thing off. She cut out the remains and had it tested, it turned out to be a wart. And she didn't get it all, I can see and feel a hard little gray knot. I hope it doesn't get any bigger. 

I bought a second guitar. I wasn't planning to; it was used, and I just fell in love with it. It's a Paul Reed Smith, a PRS Soapbox II. Apparently, it was tuned for double drop D. When I tuned it back to regular tuning (EADGBE) the 5th and 6th strings buzz. I haven't looked into setting it up myself yet. 

But even so it sounds incredibly better when compared to my Squier Bullet! The photo doesn't do the cherry red color justice.

I've been practicing guitar regularly, learned the F barre chord though I am not proficient in chord changes to and from it. I've got to get batter at though if I want to play the House of the Rising Sun well.

Over the last couple weeks, now and then, I've been adding wood filler and sanding down three 1 x 4s for the trim of my sewing room window. I stained 2 today, decided the 3rd still needed more filler and sanding. I hope to finish the poly-urethaning Sunday, that was they will be ready whenever Hal is done with the furnace.

Okay, that's enough update for now, hopefully the next one won't wait so long.
