Rush tribute act, eh?

Could be worse, you could be doing a Beach Boys tribute ... that sand gets everywhere!




Nice reminder...
I gotta get on fixing my dryer before it implodes, explodes or both.

When a 1.75 year old washer/drum failed, my wife filed a dispute with the credit card company. In the fine print there's a 2 year automatic warranty on appliances. Sure enough we got a new one for free!

Which credit card is that?

Which credit card is that?

huh, I don't remember. Probably Discover? We used that extensively until Costco forced us to use their Visa card to shop there. We wore that one out, bought another, and that ones been replaced now as well, so it was probably 2008ish?

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

I was thinking maybe AMEX. Before Costco had their own card, they preferred AMEX.

Now back to our regularly scheduled feature...

2009-2025. Complete! Well, except for the discontinued Steroid OD. And some less interesting limited production things that I might grab from DeadEnd at some point

That’s it? I must be doing something wrong. I have that many in phasers alone.

It's not a competition, well, with others, rather a competition with ourselves to see what works best for us.

What surprised me was the pervasiveness of sidejacks — of willingly, knowingly, intentionally CHOOSING... yet other larger builds have the proper jack placement.

Whatever works for you.

Oh, and a random pic...

Are those some type of artichoke? I used to grow them but the Argentine ants would farm them with aphids and kill them off. The entire SoCal area used to be covered with these ants but Covid killed them all. Weird but true. To wit, I just ordered some artichoke seeds. A bit late in the season but they'll have time for a decent harvest.....

Nah, this is the only brand I feel deserving of a completionist approach.

These pedals do not tend to be used on pedalboards, but on tables for live performance. Sidejacks just make way more sense in my scene. Every show, a new chain. I dislike top jacks.

I knew there had to be a GOOD reason. That's a good'n' alrighty!

Makes total sense.


There's still people who prefer sidejacks on their pedalboard, too.

What works, works.

I'm told it's called a Corn Flower, or Bachelor's Button. Just something that came with the yard when we moved in.

There's genres where pedals are the main instrument.

My thought was for what we call "Monarde" in french. We have here at home some nice red double ones... not in flower yet. Tried some beer made of those once and it was good.

Monarde is Bergamot or Bee Balm.
The plant in the picture could also look like some kind of Thistle, but I think yes it is in fact Corn Flower (Centaurée).
