My best friend was supposed to deploy to Yemen this month on embassy protection because they're bringing a bunch of marines in.... they changed it like 2 months ago to Japan.
Pretty happy, but he's prob bummed that he won't get to light anyone up with the m2 ahah
Probably. My boyfriend wears XL yoke hoodie and it fits him just right. I'd say he's about 6'1" (sorry if I'm wrong, Matt). Bought him a yoke tee recently in XL and fits him just right. He's a skinny guy too.

So I'm basically dating this girl. I say that because we aren't now but we will be. And I'm meeting her dad for coffee this morning. I'm kinda nervous.. She already said he likes me though so I think I'm good

Meeting her dad with her? Or meeting him to ask permission to date? Or another reason?
louie.miragsMeeting her dad with her? Or meeting him to ask permission to date? Or another reason?
I should've clarified, I already know him and everything. He just wanted to talk to me about some stuff, basically about dating his daughter. He's nice though so it went well :)
Brule.I have a four-day weekend this weekend, life is good.
mfw
You're lucky dude, I envy your shit right now...
So my parents (bosses) left for the weekend and I was rather excited. It was going to be a relaxed working Friday that would transition into a 3 day weekend with the house and business to myself. I was going to stay at the shop after work was over and work on my ski press and get ready to layup a pair (that I've been trying to layup forever might I add) tomorrow morning.
I'm driving my dads truck right now as it's a work vehicle, because of this we also lend it to customers that need it. So a customers wife comes in and needs to go around the city, comes back, GOT IN AN ACCIDENT. While I'm dealing with this shit, my grandma phones in a fuckin panic to tell me her fire alarm occasionally beeps.
So now my night has been completely fucked over because I've gotta deal with my grandma's dumb shit and the truck... This is just going to have a ripple effect into the rest of my weekend which is frustrating as hell to.
DeebieSkeebiesmy dads gonna quit his job and ski all winter. im jealous as fuck.
That's so badass!

What do you do? And it's just occasional, I'm 99% sure it's just low on battery.

I do aircraft maintenance.
And yeah I'm 99% sure it's the battery. The problem is is she's a 30 minute drive away from our shop, so I'll have to drive there, replace the battery, hope she doesn't have any other stuff to make me do, then drive back. It would be nice if there was other family that could do it for but my dad is an only child; her neighbours are old to.
It's been like a constant month of having my own plans messed up or altered for other people's conveniences. It's trying to say the least.
I wish digital piano makers thought to include multiple metronome sounds... Like I've been practicing for 2 hours now, metronome on all of that, and it's got so fucking annoying.

Ha I've never thought of that. I bet you could make some sort of looping recording of your own somehow. I've only ever heard the click and then the ones with the bell and the click, which is what mine does.
Speaking of digi pianos, I'm trying to come up with a way to mod my keyboard to have less key noise. I've already opened it up and inspected the internals, weighting mechanism and key mechanism and all that. So I just need to find the appropriate felt or something and do it. I'm just hoping doing so doesn't make the key have a really soft, squishy feeling when you press it all the way down.
omnidataGet a real piano, they play so much better.
My boudouir grand doesn't fit into my tiny attic room. Also the humidity and temperature here changes far too quickly to keep a £15k acoustic piano (yes, it's a 90s build* and it's amazing) healthy.
That said, my Roland FP7F does not feel bad at all. It doesn't feel quite like a real grand, but I'd take it way before I'd get even a high end upright.
I get around the problem with real metronomes by having several, that way I can play for many hours, whenever I get bored of one I switch it. If I'm practicing like that I'm probably only playing Hanon (I am now), and as boring as it is I can just sit down and power through 50 excersises or so.
*Pianos aren't violins, they don't get better with age. They're at their peak after a few years, after the wood and the soundboard have opened up. From thereon in they start to degrade, after about 50 years they need a refit. You see cheap, old pianos all the time because they were the televisions of the 1800s.
Digitals aren't so bad. I mean, they're not a real piano, but some of them sound quite nice and the keys aren't so bad. Plus they're portable, don't go out of tune and don't need maintenance.
That being said, I'd love a real one. But it's far more likely I'll buy/own a nice digital one for now. I think once I own a house I'd get a nice upright or something, unless I somehow had room/money for something bigger.

I know this noise, I find it particularly annoying when I'm practicing really frustrating parts. I don't notice it when I'm playing something I know.
