I never saw myself as a girl/guy.
Or a nurse?

Yeah...that whole thing didn't work out so well. Computer died completely - I think it was trying to let me know that it wanted to die. It did. I'm on a new computer today.
I keep passing milestones that should make me think of myself as a man, but I still feel like a goof.
My job title is Elder, but I'm a rather juvenile Elder indeed.
I've been trying to mow the lawn today, but I guess it just isn't meant to be. It's cold and windy, for one thing, but I bundled up and set out to do the job. I got about 1/3 of the job done before it began to rain. I tried to keep going while it was just misting, but soon it started raining harder and I had to quit.
A couple of hours went by, and the rain had stopped, so I bundled up again and set out to finish what I had started. I got somewhat less than another 1/3 done, and noticed that the mower was occasionally scalping the grass. That shouldn't be able to happen, so I shut it down to investigate. The deck height lever was properly set, and the four steel bars from which the deck hangs were all properly attached to the tractor. I didn't find anything wrong, so I started out again.
Before long I could see that I had a problem because the mower deck wasn't tracking properly with the tractor. It was moving side to side, and twisting in a way that it just shouldn't. I shut it down again, and reinvestigated. This time I found the trouble. The steel bars from which the deck hang are connected to a heavy bracket on each side which is welded to the top side of the deck. The welds had held, but the steel of the mower deck had fatigued around the bracket to the point of structural failure. The bracket is hanging from the bars, and there is a big hole in the deck where it is supposed to be attached.
No more mowing for me today. And, now I get to see if I can still weld well enough to fix this thing....
Food? We make most of the food we eat.
I feel that for the most part we eat well, probably have a bit too much in the portion department, and probably have more treats (cupcakes, cookies, muffins etc. that Nanilei bakes) than we need, but I think the main reason I personally have not lost much weight is my lack of consistent exercise. I still weigh less than I did when I moved here, and with all the delicious fatty, sugary, and starchy foods available here I consider that a HUGE win.
Tonight? Nanilei made a bunch of fresh salsa. We are going to have turkey soft tacos. The only items in tonight's dinner we did not make ourselves will be the tortillas and the chips. Yeah, I know the chips are not that good for me, I will try to limit them.
Oh, and the chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting that she made for dessert is probably not that diet-friendly either.
Living the dream!
I'm getting close to ordering a set of Gotoh UPT tuners for my Eastwood prototype concert. I've saved the cost of the tuners, now just a few more bucks for postage....
Japan may be back on.
Geez my life is drama lately.
Good for you and Japan. I hope it all works out for you.
Several months ago I managed to knock my Imua concert onto the floor, dinging the finish. Today, using clear nail polish, a succession of finer nail emery boards, rubbing compound, polishing compound, and paste wax I have made the dings disappear. It's a happy day.
Bored now.
What I wouldn't give for a little conversation with Damon or a suddenly awake Rob.

Only a little.Hello.
A little too late maybe?

I've seen Dan Erlewine of StewMac use superglue for the same thing.
