why am I not surprised?

      WEDNESDAY 12/11/19 9:52 AM--I now have eleven strings on my 12-string...naturally I broke the .008 (the high G) so I'll go to Victor Litz and get some more .008s...I hope to step away from the guitar for now...I hope to get back to it tomorrow...a MAJOR lesson in "patience" I say...Not yet looking forward to FHB practice, maybe by 6:00 I will be...
4:51 PM--I'm a step closer to having a working electric 12-string Strat...I think Lowe's will be able to help...I may have to buy a set of hex wrenches (for about $10), but it's worth it to ME...just to fix the buzzing high G string...I bought a pair of .009s...maybe it won't snap like the .008 did...
10:41 PM--The FHB rehearsal went ok...I'm fairly sure Barnaby doesn't have the respect for my abilities that I deserve...but I think our Derwood Xmas set will be an 8 on a scale of 10...
          The cleaning ladies are supposed to come sometime tomorrow...if I can be patient I will go to Lowe's to get a hex wrench when they get here, no sooner...
8:24 AM--I'm gonna hold off buying a hex wrench (or anything else) until I can safely afford it...right now I can't afford anything that isn't absolutely necessary--like food and/or gas...
  THURSDAY 12/12/19 8AM--I've had the keyboard for quite awhile now but until a half hour ago I had never scrolled through the beats selection, there are several dozen "STYLE" choices and each one can be super slow or super fast (or anything in between) so I've started going thru the list...
      Dunno why, but I wanted to see if I could play the missing riff from I SAW THE LIGHT...the only way to play it the right way is to use a slide...it turns out I can kinda play it with one, but (probably) only if I use Butterscotch...the action is a bit higher than the action on eBay...just barely (IMO) high enough to play slide on it...but for just one riff, it should be ok...maybe Butterscotch can be the official FHB guitar...
6:04 PM--the three Musically inflexible members of the FHB are apparently gonna do an 
a capella version of SILENT NIGHT...at this point in time, like right NOW, sitting calmly and comfortably in my chair, I can add a low part, especially if the raise the key a whole step...a half step might work...
Like I’ve said before, Barnaby mostly, but Stoney sometimes and Brian as well, treat me like some sort of “special needs” kid... And, like I’ve also said before, I think they’re jealous of my ability – or at least afraid I might have a considerable amount of it... And I know how conceited that sounds, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true…
