a minor miracle

          WEDNESDAY 2/19/2020 12:48 PM--both of my electric guitars have new strings on them...the "lab work" will likely be done on Friday...
3:44 PM--thirty minutes ago, after some manual stretching, I tuned both electrics, with my Boss tuner app...I just use it to get as close as possible until I plug into a real tuner...the ME-70 has one...my EARS tell me the guitars are in tune...it makes me feel good to know that...
THURSDAY 2/20/2020 9:38 AM--I kinda wanna go to the OTWC tonight, but (in no particular order) I should save my energy for tomorrow and I should support Dianne this evening when the contractor gets here...
 8:40 PM--the contractor got here just before 7 and left just before 8...I gotta start thinking about tomorrow...
10:05 PM--this may be a bad time to start thinking about my "to do" list for tomorrow, but that's what my brain wants to do...I think the "lab" will open at 10 AM...whatever I'm gonna do, I hope to be done by 11:30 or so...
FRIDAY 2/21/2020 8:28 AM--in about an hour or so, I'll unpack the amp and paisley bag...I just hope I can do what I wanna do--whatever that may be...
10:28 AM--it took about 45 minutes but patches 1-1, 2-1, and 3-1 sound the same, to me anyway...and Manual Mode 3 (the BCB harmony patch) is a bit louder than it was before...I think I can close the Lab for the time being...
2:45PM-So here I am at Hershey’s about 15 minutes early… That’s no big deal to me; I’m nervous about the gig, I’m even nervous about the load in…It’s a VERY small stage...
3:45PM-I’ll be lucky if I get back home by 5:30...
4:15 PM-I don’t have to be back here until 7:30 at the earliest; we don’t start until 9 o’clock...
8:15 PM-well, whatever’s going to happen is going to happen between now and midnight…
