Why are you happy right now?

[Furtive Glance]

Does your office/company do Juneteenth off? I forgot my own does, so we have this upcoming Wednesday off, might be a freebie making it 4 days off.

Nope. We get the bare minimum of holidays. CEO won’t be able to afford their 7th yacht if we didn’t work.

 

[BlackMastodon]

I've got Juneteenth off and I decided last week that I'm taking Thursday off too. Then Friday I'll work from home and take it easy. Fuck you, work.

my band is opening for HOODS 8/28 at venue we havent played yet in GR!

My setup is sounding really good these days. Loud, heavy, totally drenched with cranked power amp magic. We've finally got the new bass rig dialed in and it's also sounding very good, very loud, very heavy. They sound (and feel) like magic together. Like the warmest, heaviest ray of sunshine swaddling you into bliss. It's "the sound in my head" and then some. Can't wait to execute some massive riffage at our next gig.

these just landed at my desk!!!

Happy that I drive a utilitarian shitbox and don't have car payments. Front left brake caliper has been locking up on me intermittently for about 3 weeks now and I'm just getting around to getting it dealt with. Figured with driving on a temperamental caliper it would have roasted the rotors and pads but somehow they're undamaged so instead of a full brake job, I just need the calipers. I was spraying the piss out of the inside of them and the rotor surface with brake cleaner before every short drive I took when I recognized the issue and I doubt it actually helped, but I lucked out nonetheless. Cheap repair means more instruments

TFW you are feeling bad about your vocals but then you listen to the practice recordings and they're way less bad than you thought

i hugged my daughter this morning and she asked me if we could play guitar after i got back from work and ive been thinking about that all morning

Fuck yeah, I just finished stacking all the firewood I bought. First I bought 6m³, which should last about 1.5 years, and then I bought another 6m³ of cheap lower quality stuff to use for heating the hot tub. The second batch will probably last something like 5 years.

I don't know what units y'all measure firewood in, but that's about 3000 gallons of it anyway.

Cords is what we use here in the US. One cord is basically a 4x4x8' (1.2 x 1.2 x 2.4m) stack of split wood, about 3.6 cubic meters.

Right, so the amount I stacked would be about 3.5 cords. Thanks for that little nugget of information I never knew I needed

Summer vacation just started, we took the ferry from Helsinki to Tallinn and drove to Riga with the kids and our friends who's kids are also best friends with our kids. We rented a huge Airbnb and this place is awesome. It has enough beds for ~14 people (we are 10 in total). When we got to the apartment, the oldest kids cooked dinner for us.

 

[Big Dumb Bitch]

I'm happy cuz my band has our first show in a week and a half and none of us have played a show in like at least 5 years and the weekend after that we're gonna start recording a like 8 song demo or EP thingy

Our first show was supposed to be last month but it got cancelled cuz one of the touring bands had something happen and couldn't make it.

 

[Ordacleaphobia]

Let my brother borrow one of my cars to go to work this week and I went to head out this morning and the other one wouldn't start. Bad battery, happens every year. Weather swings here kills them like clockwork.
So I get to work from home today.
Turns out boring weekly meetings are a lot more palatable when you get to also work on the frets on your RGA while people are rattling off stuff that doesn't matter to you.

 

[RevDrucifer]

I’ve put a LOT of thought into getting another dog over the last two years, I kept putting it off due to inflation scaring me away from the idea of it, but a friend recently had this guy essentially abandoned with her and the second I met him and he gave me a big ole polar bear hug, I had to take him home.

This is Echo.

He’s about 2 and he’s AMAZING!!! He’s so well behaved for his age it’s really somethin’else. I can’t wait to learn his personality more and spend the next years of my life removing fur from EVERYTHING!

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

RIP fur-less clothes. The white will show up everything and they tend shed all over.

Hahahahah that’s an understatement.

I had JUST gotten used to not having dog hair on everything, too!

 

[Seabeast2000]

I just washed my German Short-haired and he shed a whole other dog on the process. He also smelt like a garbage can.
