This weekend has been hectic but fun. We spent most of yesterday shopping and then gaming for my buddy Ed’s birthday, followed quickly by a D&D session on Sunday. The remainder of the weekend was spent doing our normal end of the month routine, which included some extra baby shopping and the creation of the monthly budget.
Set firmly in the “fun” category: my Dad is having me build him a Grizzly ukulele kit, but he’s allowing me to grow my lutherie skills by enhancing the kit with wood bindings, new tuners (similar to the ones on my ukulele), and a French Polish finish. All of these skills are going to be directly applicable to my guitar-building later on this year, and it’s fun to get some practice on a small scale. This also affords me a good jumping-off point to buy a few tools and supplies now, which cuts down on the gear I will have to buy later. Who knows, if I get really lucky the weather will cooperate and I can get started on the build this weekend!
Suffice it to say the weekend went by quite quickly. I wish it as another day longer, but I’m optimistic for a productive week at the office and a touch more sanity in our schedule. Time well tell, I suppose! More soon!
