Finished this earlier this week. 23” scale, tuned EBE. Chromatic but only the pentatonic scale, plus 2 & 6, are actually fretted. The high e is a double course for a mandolin-like sound.

How does it sound to you?

The Jehovahs sent me some more junk mail this week, a pamphlet asking me if the dead can live. So as I debated the question in my mind, I did a doodle on the back of the envelope they sent to me.

Sadly, disability forced me to rehome my lovely pibble Ripley. Thankfully I was able to find the perfect loving home for me

Teaching myself to draw/sketch at this late stage of my life… 61 and struggling with the effects of spinal injury and traumatic brain injury… hand/eye coordination is a challenge for me. Fun tho and therapeutic on several levels

Found a mint condition Chinon CM-5 (circa 1981) Pentax K-mount 35mm SLR in a discount bin for $6 and some change. It had an M42 screw mount adapter and came with this ugly, barely functional Tamron f7.5 400mm lens. Running a couple rolls of Kodak Gold c41 film through it today.
