All February dry, now another dry month . . . cos I overdid it in March and need to dry out again. Never drunk, but too much accumulates around the middle . . . and then the clothes don't fit.
So, cheers to teetotaling for another month, and I'll raise the tumbler again in 29 more days.
*not an April Fool's prank.

I can relate! I work from home and tend to day drink either due to boredom or stress. Almost never drunk like you said but I get to the point where it feels unhealthy.

7 days in. Had a practice with my band last night... I was the only non-drinker. Watching the intoxication build is very interesting.

Nice work!
I’ve found drunk people can be really annoying to the sober. The only cure is to join them 😆

Day 17 was trying. Attended and sang at a benefit for a client of mine who recently died in a car crash. Only 25 years old. It was a sad time. Not having a drink to raise with the others was a thing.

Well as usual, a dry month sucks again.
Sober October is a mix of bleh and meh. Come on midnight Hallowe'en/All Saints Day!

Really good day or really bad day? Really bad day. Tenant is 2 months behind. Eviction notice given. 5 kids have to move because of two irresponsible parents. <sigh> I can't pay for someone else's life. You have no idea, how much that hurts me. I also have 5 kids and would sacrifice anything for them. |

My wife went and talked to the mother (girl to girl) and now she's only behind a month or so. To me, that says that unless heavily motivated a lot of humanity can't do the right thing. Calls for a whiskey! Thinking about it . |

Dry Month . . . again. Only 30 days in June, so hopefully it passes quickly.

5 days of absolute utter boredom so far . . . no increase in productivity, and a decrease in happiness.

Shit I bet if you started changing strings on all your guitars and give them all a nice fresh setup you’d only get halfway through by the time the month is up! Also check out a 4 way switch on a tele where you can get both series and parallel middle pickup combos. Also check out these options for Strat wiring. Seems pretty trick. I’m gonna do the one with the super switch on my current build. |

Great ideas. I set up 4-6 guitars per day, I have two Teles with the 4-0way switch. The Strat mods are cool tho. I have slightly different ones, but this is definitely intriguing.
Thank you!

Whats the story there?

The ribbon mic. the RCA 77dx... part of a group that Tim and Manny invited me to, and I got scammed. Big time. So I'm out a couple grand
Oh well, live and learn. just hope nobody else gets scammed. It really hurts, financially but emotionally as well.
16 days into this dry month now, lots of green tea these days.

Sorry to hear, being scammed does get hurt.
I saw that guys listing and instantly thought suss.
There are a few on the Group all the time. 77dx and u47 all the time.
I guess Tim forgot to mention that to you.
Good on you for also cutting down on the drinking.

This is why I do my dry month in February. February, April and June so far this year . . . This one is to support the wife who had to come to terms with her overuse of vodka before she got into alcoholic territory,]. Heavy show of support. Pain in the ass tho LOL |
