Went to get my booster shot today. The waiting room was really crowded and some guy insisted on giving me his seat. Fortunately, he went out in the hall before they called out my legal name. I'm really still getting used to people treating me as a woman.

I finally got to work on my project acoustic street piano, a Lindemann and Sons piano from at the least the early 1900s and possibly from the late 1800's, it would be very hard to tell. But a quarter got stuck in the keybed and I took the front apart, got that freed up, great workmanship on it inside so I was very pleased with that, and then I finally tuned it up, I'd bet its been decades since it was tuned. Its really beat up, I had grabbed it off the street, and I'm so glad i did, kind of a divine gift thing tbh, went up a street we don't normally go up and I rolled the thing about an eighth or quarter mile to the house, somehow got it on a furniture dolly that it destroyed by the time I got here, but its here and I just love the thing. All chipped up ivory keys and stuff, so worn there's grooves in the keys, old black stuff where kids wrote on it, people never have a clue of the value of musical instruments or at least, some do and some really don't. Very happy, no bad tuners in it, all the strings are good, it'll need a retune because it hasn't probably been tuned in decades and was a full step low, but its tuned now... Yup. Seriously happy tonight.

It was a warm day so I went to the beach. I'm still a little nervous about wearing my bikini, but the spot I went to wasn't that crowded. Until I took off my shorts that is. Still getting used to guys walking by checking me out.

I'm pretty much used to guys checking me out as well as women, and you check people out as well, its a recognition sort of thing to me, its when people walk past as if you are invisible that bugs me the most, but I'm used to that as well, and I do it too. But the way people look is going to be a different thing for you now and then, think of it as a new experience in life and enjoy the attention.

But the way people look is going to be a different thing for you now and then, think of it as a new experience in life and enjoy the attention. It certainly is a new experience. I really didn't get a chance to experience much social interaction these last few years, though I'm a lot more ready for it than I was a few years ago.
Had a fairly nice day walking around town in a tank top and shorts. I might actually be starting to enjoy warmer weather, for a long time I used to dread it because it took presenting more androgynous off the table.

Saved my custom 69 guitar build, with some very patient help from my very dear friend.
It came out great, still some little things to do, but the electrics are in and it sounds really nice.
Broken wire in a custom shop 69 pickup. Third try, got it soldered and installed.
Ear candy.

Rigorous day helping move one of my daughters to her new house, and then finally get a chance to unwind, its guitars tonight, and it feels just so good to forget it all and play music.
Never expected to be so into electric guitars, much less doing serious heavyweight mods right down to recontouring and custom headstocks.
It was a good night for the guitars. One of my modifieds, a Bullet telecaster modded to Nocaster electrics, took a six foot drop from it's hanger, headstock is thin on those, knocked a chip off the edge, nasty one that splintered. But it still plays really great, I just was really upset by that, I've had two guitars fall on me, the squier 51 which already was in bad shape when I got it but cleaned up super well and plays fantastic, and the modded tele.
So, being really careful with the other ones and they are on floor stands.
I got into modding and learning the builds on these when one of my grandsons broke the headstock off an acoustic electric. That one looks like frankenstein but plays rock and roll really well amped, haven't picked it up and a long time, should fool around with it again.
Really happy for Yuki with their new instrument, that looks like a big time winner right there and talk about mods, the look on it is just fabulous and I bet amped up it will be wonderful.

The home situation is improving, our new bedroom is really nice and just a bedroom. Southern exposure, brighter, more air, healthier really.
More privacy for the daughter, more potential of success and a glimmer of hope.
Still really cramped space for me and probably moving later, but its an improvement and I am grateful for that.

Just up a little too late playing music, guitars first and then one of the synths, I just cannot express how much playing music makes me feel good. My own stuff, kind of stream of consciousness on the synths, the guitars its kind of in a regular thing and I need to get organized and grow past that jamming stage of playing the same kind of thing all the time. Matter of deciding to do it really. The new guitar plays great, it is kind of jarringly a 1969 strat sound, good one at that, which was the goal of the build so mission accomplished. There's some ever so little tweaking I might do, but just happy with it and how it turned out. But its very vintage sound and I built it that way, there's a place for something more modern on the next build, have to see, something a little warmer and not quite so much high end overtones. Of course, strings could compensate, I'm using standard steel 9's on it. A brass block instead of the heavy steel one I have could mellow that tone a bit as well. The art of guitar modding But feeling ok here, not a bad day. Hugs all.

Just a decent day, stuff happened, the usual, but feeling more and more comfortable in some ways, ready for another haircut and I want to get some fleece boxers, I spent time finding tax stuff and that went well, and then I got my synths back on line and had them all up together and that jam session or whatever you call it went really well, I got lost in the ambient sort of improv and it was really nice.
Good to get a good day here. Hope everyone elses has been good.

In the UK visiting my mum, to scatter dad's ashes.
It is lovely and sad to be here, but what made me especially happy today is that I told my sister I'm nonbinary.
She was completely unfazed and said it explained some things.
I did think she would be fine about it all, but it really went just about how I hoped.

Some good things happened today. Things that matter. Things that can change lives in a good way, instead of destroy them.
I feel comforted.
Hugs, big time, to each of you.

I created my first self generating ambient patch today using Cubase's Retrologue 2 soft synth. Seriously cool, always wanted to do it and finally figured it out. -Sick today, finally pretty much collapsed from exhaustion so took the morning off to putz around. It was worth it, slowly catching back now. I should record this patch just for fun and post it, might, might not. LOL my nails are so long its hard to type lately.
