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.

I’m not that comfortable with the program but after twelve hours I finished making the image. The pedal image was pulled from a random search on Google Images. The pedal image had a white background which I didn’t like so I ch

I bought my Peavey Classic VT about eight or nine years ago off of ebay. I got a good deal on it at the time, about $250 if I’m remembering correctly. Once I got it I found two things wrong with it. First being that the built in phaser didn’t work, a feature which I can live without. The second problem being that one of the speakers were blown and the other one sounded terrible. The second problem made the amp unusable so I had to order some new speakers for it. After lots of research I decided on Celestion Vintage 30’s. I went with the Vintage 30’s for volume output which I thought would come in handy if I ever rejoined a band. Another reason for my choice was the “tightness” of the speakers. After installing the Vinta

I just found this really interesting article about the old Walkmans. The article was written by a 13-year-old kid named Scott Campbell. I must be getting old because I have fond memories of my old walkman. You can read the original article here.
