CONTEST
Words of wisdom that it's good to be reminded here and there of: No matter how you shake and dance the last few drops will end up in your pants. Thank you
 
...it's yet another great excuse for a $115 PedalPCB gift code giveaway, so good news everyone!

Why $115? I got started too late to feasibly make the sale....can you believe it, I had to work today!!?! So, tell a joke, say up yours Fig, write some poetry, do something!

Winner will be chosen at random sometime tomorrow evening. Thanks for playing and good luck!

fig's tongue is the only thing he can lick in his own reflection. just thought I'd throw that out there.
 
Labor Day today. I planned to assemble a pedal today (Hybrid Tonebender). As I started assembly I noticed that one of the holes for the jacks is off, and I can’t fit the pot and Jack in at the same time. I’ve not had a smooth build in over six months…

Congratulations, that makes you a seasoned pro at this. JB Weld makes some great metal filler.
 
At this point I don’t really care anymore. Mistakes will be made no matter what, so I’m just ready to move on. There are plenty of other pedals to partially build…
A lot of mine are skinless, but not boneless! That‘s where the tone is.

Yea. I still have this one breadboarded, so I got that going for me. It’s getting old, though; stopping a build half-way because I forgot to order something/i don’t have the right size component/I broke something/I made a mistake (measuring/art, usually)/etc…

I think it’s cause I was trained in jazz. I’m all about doing my best in the moment. I dig the now. Having to plan a build out perfectly in advance is a full-sized, grade A, Thanksgiving Jive Turkey…

I was just telling someone how I really enjoy grabbing a random board and seeing if I can get it built without ordering anything.

I’ll have to tell you the story of the perfectly-planned build that wasn’t. It’s a chilling tale of a young pedal-builder (literary license) and how despite meticulous planning and expert collaboration became the legend that it isn’t today.

An old couple are sitting in a tavern.

"Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you."

Yes, she says, "I remember it well."

OK, he says, "How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?"

"Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crazy, but good idea!"

A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, he thinks to himself, I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble. So he follows them.

The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in..

Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.

The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.

After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on.

The policeman, is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing, I've got to ask them what their secret is.

So, as the couple passes, he says to them, "Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?"

Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply,

"Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence."
