Face masks distributed at work by HR.
Regular dust mask, certainly one that doesn't do much.
This thing is uncomfortable.

Poor Bike Ride Planning: A Cautionary Tale
Today I failed to adequately pre-hydrate for my ride.
As the miles (slowly) went by, my mouth became dry. I thought about getting a drink. But then I HTFU and dismissed those foolish thoughts. It wasn't even 80F; I have standards to uphold.
The End.

There are three water bottle cage mounts on my bike, I used all of them for the first time yesterday. I drank all but maybe 1/3 of the last bottle. It was 55°F.

It’s Peavey JSX Mini Colossal...
it was, for a long long while, one of the extremely few 5W tube amps with a power attenuator and an effects loop. Attenuator setting is a bit tricky, but when dialed in, one can have a wonderful tube tone, not even waking an asleep baby just up the stairs

I love little tube amps. I've got one of the little Peavey Valveking heads that's switchable between 20/5/1 watts. I think I've been running it at the 1W setting and it's a great volume for someone who has to share a wall. I love the cleans on it but the gain channel is absolute garbage, so I have a switching mechanism on my pedalboard that lets me run a distortion pedal straight into the effects loop return.
I also had a Vox AC-4 for a little bit that was really fun with my Telecaster. A one-trick pony, for sure, but it did it well. Can't remember why I got rid of it, though

yeah, I spent 4+ months on scambay until one got listed for what I can justify spending on.
I've heard similar comments on all switchable amps though. Valve king is high on my list if I was in the market for a new one though.
I was able to set this one just so that the it starts to break with a little movement of the volume on the guitar . Most of the time, I just run it as is, but it also does great with an mxr 78 custom badass when I want something more..
I was lucky to snag a boss GT-10 for $125 when Best Buy was going out of musical instrument business, and from time to time I set it up, but there are so many stuff that I don’t need on it that I thought of selling it every once in a while. Probably would feel the same way you for the ac4 if I did.

2 stations by the house are $1.69. A third is $1.59. I drove a mile toward Detroit. Paid $1.47, That's quite the difference. It's even cheaper in the D....but then your in the D. Hard pass.

Not to be putting on airs...I did manage to aquire an 8 pack of angel soft mega rolls....
No cashiers though. All self service. I hate bagging my stuff. I dont want to be responsible for my crushed bread. That's what the cashier is for.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
I was out of town when things started going crazy, but when i got back and went grocery shopping my local store was wiped out of TP and paper towels. Perhaps because I tend to go mid morning on Saturday, but even with the reduced crowds I haven't seen TP or paper towels in that store for something like 4 weeks now.

On the guitar amp front, I built a Princeton Reverb clone maybe a year ago? Modded it a bit and beefed up the power. It's a beast. Completely cured me of amp envy. The only other amp I've played since then that I wanted was a Two Rock, but it was 5 grand.

I want to wind my own pickups before I start building amp clones, but Princeton reverb is definitely on the list. Did you source the parts yourself or went the kit route?
