the other surf green strat i totally forgot about
You go through enough guitars, and sometimes you forget the ones you owned in the past.
I still have the Sonic Strat in Surf Green. It's good and I've had it for over a month now.
Before buying that guitar, I had not seen it in person, so I was worried about whether Squier's version of Surf Green would be to my liking or not. When I saw it in person fresh out of the box at Guitar Center, I knew instantly yes, good color. And then after buying it, I thought hey, nice to own my first Surf Green Strat.
But it wasn't the first.
let's go to waimart to buy a tooi
All email should be text-only with no HTML at all, displayed in a monospaced font across the entire interface, and I'm going to show you why.
I recently had to add two misspellings to my email filters, waimart and tooi. Both of these "words" do not exist outside of email spam.
The entire reason these "words" exist is to fool the reader, you, into thinking they're something else. It's an exploitation of many sans-serif fonts.
This is best shown by example:
dental adventures so far this year
As I write this, I just came back from the dentist. A second abscess formed that needed to be removed, this time on the upper gum. It was a small one, but needed to be done. The first abscess was on the lower gum, and that one was large. I had that taken care of in late 2025.
Any time an abscess forms, as in that hard bump, yes, it absolutely has to be taken care of. If not taken care of, that leads to major dental problems later. Not issues. Problems. As in very painful problems.
Were these abscesses my fault? They might have been.
3 weeks in with the squier sonic stratocaster
Some people think I keep all the guitars I've ever bought. Not true. The personal rule I've been using for years is for any new guitar that comes in, one must go out. If I didn't do that, I'd have a big pile of guitars that would never get played.
So it's been 3 weeks in with the Squier Sonic Stratocaster. The guitar is technically still within the return window period, so I could return if it I wanted. Will I? No, I'm keeping it, because it is the good "happy place" guitar I was looking for. Very familiar, very comfortable. Like I said recently, this guitar is home to me.
I've come to realize something in owning this guitar that I'm still trying to wrap my head around.
incredibly stupid customer survey email
Remember how I said that Google and banks do dumb stuff with email?
Other companies do this crap too, and oh wow, did I receive a doozy of one.
I go to an office to do a thing, and get the thing done. No problems.
Three days later, an email comes in that went straight to spam, but the subject line suggested it might not be, so I took a look at it...
...and oh, yikes, no wonder this thing went straight to spam.
