I was going to post something today. Not sure what. Not much into posting lately, though. Can’t say why for certain. I just am not up to such things.
But I intended to and I guess that’s what matters.
I think if I could do things differently I would really like to fail forward. It’s early yet, so I just might.
I legit got distracted today.
First it was the “oh bother” honey locust leaves. If you know, then you know. With the twins doing D&D with their friends, the leaves needed to go before the gremlins arrived.
Then there was the apple tree branch that couldn’t find it in itself to finish falling off the tree. For a year. So I helped it.
My eldest works at a second hand store. Someone donated a Roland TD3 electronic drum kit. It’s old school, circa 2000s. But it has a midi in and out. She plugged things in and they seemed to work. Which means I can play synth with the snare if I want to play synth with a snare. Or I can use any samples drum sound I please.
I got it, nat. Used, it runs $400 and up, $1500 if in mint condition.
I got it for $43.
It needed TLC. Massive amounts of TLC. Buckets of TLC. Oil tanker levels.
It’s mostly there.
Tomorrow, I’ll hook it up and see if it needs a new brain. And take inventory of what little bits and bobs need to be replaced (mostly drum screws used to assemble it and a drum key absolutely). But the bones are there.
And that’s all you can expect, I suppose.
