I had been having some issues with my Peavey Classic VT series amp. When I got it I had to replace the speakers because they were blown. When I put the new speakers in I was finally able to test the amp out. It has always sounded good at low volumes but terrible at a louder volume. I was very picky about which guitar I played through. I just thought it was a bad sounding amp. Well, I was poking around with a mutlimeter the other day and decided to test the speaker cable on the amp. It turns out that this whole time I’ve had the speakers wired out of phase. After correcting the wiring the amp sounds really good, almost the same sound as some silverface Fender amps I’ve played.

I finally got around to updating the music page. I decided to go with the Yahoo media player after seeing how well it worked on BradSucks site. Go to my music page and check it out.

I’ve finally got pictures of the junk yard gas tank. Sorry about the poor image quality.
The above picture just shows the junk yard gas tank. The picture below show the broken and rusted tube on the tank.

It’s been 31 days since I’ve smoked a cigarette. I don’t even think about it much anymore. When I do think about having one I just relax for a couple of minutes until the urge goes away. This is the longest I’ve ever quit smoking and I think about how disappointed I would be if I started it back up. I can breathe much better now and I don’t get winded doing everyday stuff like mowing the yard. My focus and performance at work has improved a lot. I’ve been using other methods of getting nicotine. Right now I’m using a smokeless tobacco product, General white portion Swedish Snus. I’m preparing myself to switch over to nicotine gum. After that I will try to gradually reduce my nicotine intake until I no longer use it. I’m not trying to stop cold turkey because it hasn’t worked for me in the past. Right now what I’m doing works and I’m sticking to my own method of quitting. Hopefully the next time I post my progress I will still be smoke free.
