Happy birthmonth things
Feb. 26th, 2015 06:43 pmIt's not even quite my birthmonth, but I've started celebrating already. My amazon echo (which I ordered a few months back) arrived today and does the one thing I was really hoping it would do and I've been having silly fun with it.
I bought myself a table saw finally, after years of wanting it.
I wanted to do karaoke next month, but wasn't finding the energy to make it happen, but a friend is celebrating his birthday with karaoke, so I get my karaoke with out the effort and I get to see that friend, who I haven't seen forever.
The musical instrument addiction continues and I've bought myself a hammered dulcimer (used from bay, of course.) It's very pretty and old enough to likely have a sound board made from mahogany which is no longer used because of it's rarity. I just have to replace a string and tune it, but even untuned, it sounds nice.

And there will most likely be a party at some point during the month.

So I didn't drive 3 hours to Vermont and 3 hours back. Instead I drove to a dark alley in the middle of nowhere a bright, sunlit park-n-ride lot in the middle of New Hampshire. We set up the koto with a few bridges in the back of my car so I could hear it, counted out the cash and drove off. If the day hadn't been beautiful and sunny, it would have felt like buying a koto off the back of a van.
Pictures will come. First I need breakfast/lunch.
Oh, and I'll be selling my electric/acoustic guitar to make up both the financial and space hit.
EDIT: also, I successfully webstalked the seller on facebook before hand. Which is a little creepy.
