It’s nice to be back in the saddle with @sejonavajas @aksandnes and @heckenbergdavid over at the pirate ghostship @4thstreetrecording. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpusZZBXfu/?igshid=1c72j0jdwfbzs

Just got this in the mail to day from the wonderful @kfjc897fm and #CousinMary! The @insectsurfers played their 60th birthday celebration with a bunch of really wonderful people and bands. It is an absolute honor to be a part of this. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to listen to it!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CI1W2WKBZ1J/?igshid=1d510fjdxs17p

Breakfast on what is sure to be a wild day. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIuCFfhk5w/?igshid=1m8k1vfnzr1ny

Walking into the studio, I met a new friend who was waiting to greet me at the door! HELLO THERE FRIEND! https://www.instagram.com/p/CGGk-iOB8S6/?igshid=1u8a993991d9f

Finally, a coolish morning so Finn and I can spend some time at #lakebalboapark He’s playing with a seed here. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGAo4KdhOhQ/?igshid=kszf3fu0wfvy

While Finn is recovering from an ear ache, I get to play with these babies. Hope he’s not too upset! Recording with the #M-Squad today. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFDFfT6hsxz/?igshid=wftqe1e0h3zf

Today was a good day at @4thstreetrecording with @sejonavajas. Got 8/9 songs done. One more tomorrow then Percussion. #drums #session #backinthesaddle https://www.instagram.com/p/CEDzaN7hx1j/?igshid=1trvjsas05evb

For Father’s Day, @cattbeek wanted me to build Finn a Pickler’s Triangle, so I did. Got the basic form from the web, made all the measurement decisions, sourced the required materials and tools, and built the thing. Not in one day, mostly because hand sanding the closet rods from 1 5/16’s down to 1 1/4 took a while and was rough on the ole mits. The finish is a bee’s wax/mineral oil compound Catt made for the blocks she built. I got to hang out with Finn, and family and listen to a lot of @nodumbquestions during the process. Fun project and I hope Finn doesn’t wreck himself on it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCLuCucBza-/?igshid=1e4xp7o85onhj
