WOOHOO!

That reminds me of all the girls who would write in to me being an insensitive prick because I was using a picture of Two-Headed Chang as my profile photo on some dating site, way back when.

Good times.

i thought your sock puppet thing was also brilliant and wanted to do that too

[Dust]

The weirdest thing is that my sock puppet profile actually garnered more attention that my real profile.  I mean, Two-Headed Chang was a cheap shot to that cesspool's low standards, but damn.  I'm uglier than a sock puppet?

Anyway, today was a pretty great day.  The studio thing went just as I hoped it would, and Chichi came home with the forms for getting premium benefits at work.  Sweet!

Maybe this means that I can afford that goverment issue HAZMAT suit I've always wanted

[TPD]

Woooo!

[Naylzie]

That's awesome, Dust!  The part about Chichi getting benes and your studio time, that is =P  I can confirm you're not uglier than Tw-headed Chang AND that Teeps is not, actually, a hideous chut (though I am unsure of the meaning of that particular slang term).

I got a rush for next week, which is always a mixed blessing; on the one hand, yay extra money, but on the other, GOTTA DO IT NAO.  Legit, this has to be a one-day turnaround for one of my most error-prone narrators.  But that's a story for the rant thread.  Rush means I'm getting more than I usually would for my time, so yay that, I guess.

I have been running a centerless grinder at work for pretty much all this month, and some of last month as well. A centerless grinder is used to make bars of metal smaller in diameter. The one that we have is very accurate, most jobs I do I have a tolerance of +/-.001 inch there are a few jobs where I have a tolerance of +/-.0005 inch. (.0254mm and .0127mm respectively) And for the record my hair is +/-.0005 inch thick. I know, cuz I've measured it a few times. I learned how to set it up, and run it last year. And then I've been running it these last two months. I've improved vastly. I'm a lot quicker, and my set up is better. I have more confidence with it.

also we use the grinder for bars of steel for NASCAR springs. You might be thinking we could just order the bar, however there is so many different sizes it's cheaper for us to just get set sizes and then grind it down our selves. They also order parts and want/need them so quickly that we wouldn't have time to order the bar and get it shipped to us.


Here is links to what it looks like. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FZaTpR0ucng4%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DZaTpR0ucng4&docid=Pd071V_jTEgUoM&tbnid=T6hxp4tfOj6ObM%3A&vet=1&w=1280&h=720&bih=660&biw=1228&q=cincinnati%20milacron%20centerless%20grinders&ved=0ahUKEwjVovbDwq3SAhXCKWMKHebgDwkQMwgcKAIwAg&iact=mrc&uact=8#h=720&imgrc=T6hxp4tfOj6ObM:&vet=1&w=1280    Then since some of the bars we grind are 250inches 6.35meter we have rollers to support the bar on the way in and out of the machine.

So I think your well wishes paid off!  I don't know why I never went to a studio before!

I can't wait to go back.  I think I have a good business plan set up that I can make regularly scheduled visits to fit my budget, while also ensuring that I get shit done proper.

I'm feeling pretty awesome about the idea of making music again, and taking it very seriously.

Edit: I'm breaking a bunch of rules here by sharing this with you, but I think it's great to show you guys the progress of my dorky song.

Crutches wrk tp.1

Yeah!

PPS - The semi-decent original, for reference:  crutches - (01.15.17)

PPPS - Sorry for shilling, I'm just so happy!

I just imagined a bit of video where everyone slowly reaches out to shake a stranger's hand when they hear "I'm so tired/sorry", but quickly pulls away when they hear "I lost my self control".

[Dust]

And here's the version we made today.

I'm pretty happy with this, though I think another four hours of work on it could really knock it out of the park.

[Naylzie]

 

Dude, this is catchy as fuck.  Like, it had a great hook originally, but with the more robust sound...  This could totally be something I could never dislodge from my head.  I'm so glad it's going well for you and that you're digging the whole process; I am super happy for you!

2. Pepper jack cheese is superior to all other cheeses. This is not my opinion, I am stating a fact, so don't argue with me.
