Rare Acoustic Set and Lessons

Doesn’t even capture the ferny forest splendor or my achey legs. I’ll be back!

The forest schooled me again yesterday. Trying to find my way through new territory and the mountain proved to be too much for my skinny legs. And I thought I was so strong. Fit! No. The terrain climbed and climbed and my frustration grew with each turn. How much higher? I was impatient. I wanted to reach the top. To satisfy the ego. To conquer the day! But I finally had to turn around. My legs were cement. Aching to the bone. I could have kept going but I turned off on a trail and started back down the mountain. And it was beautiful. It’s true, this place I now call home is a MTB mecca. But it’s harder than I thought! Surprises are good. To keep learning new things we are reminded that there is so much we do not know. We are humbled.

Later I learned to count to 15 in binary! Actually no I didn’t. But I made this binary counter. I am not too clear on binary. How it works. I get the concept, that’s how computers count and communicate but I can’t count like them. The flashy lights and colorful wires are enough for me. Continuing my journey to produce that forest theremin I’ve been pining (ha pun intended!) over for a year now. Baby steps. But making progress.
