the quest for a humidifier that doesn't suck
It is ridiculous what I had to go through just to find a replacement humidifier that works like it should. Mostly.
I used to hate HSS electric guitars, but now after owning one I actually like and play regularly, they do make sense...
I had to perform some minor maintenance on my Yamaha Pacifica PAC112VM guitar recently, and had a nice surprise.
Ever buy something for your guitar playing stuff, use it for a little bit, then put it away and not use it for a year? How about 2 years? How about 3?
That's what happened with my ZOOM G1X Four.
If you would have told me years ago that there would come a point in my life where I didn't like hamburgers anymore, I'd have called you insane.
Well, here we are.
Casio has their hits and misses with G-SHOCK watches. Generally speaking, I like them, but many don't do much for me as to how they look.
This one, however, really nails it.
I've been watching some really old wrestling shows from the early '80s recently. The above is Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka from a broadcast in 1983. He was 40 at the time.
1983 is pre-HULKAMANIA that didn't truly begin until '84, but what's more interesting to me is why anybody even watched this stuff to begin with.
The watch I currently wear, a Casio W735HB (no longer in production but you can look for one if you like), has what I consider to be the best strap material, nylon. But not just any nylon, as it has the thicker, better stuff.
During summer, PUR (polyurethane resin) straps, leather straps and metal bracelets stick when you sweat, and flimsy nylon wears out too easily.
Better nylon is far and away the best thing for a summer watch, as it does NOT stick when you sweat and breathes well. And wow, is it a tall order to find a watch with nylon strap that isn't terrible. But I found a few.
At the beginning of this year, I was eating like crap. And yes, I had put on some weight.
Last month, I cleaned up my diet big time.
At the beginning of this month, I was almost at my target BMI.
The main reason nobody ever learns the lay of the land from a navigation system is because the map is facing "the wrong way".
