and back to real life. I took on a new management position here at work and the list of tasks I have to do here as well as at my house seem astronomical. We have lots of things to unpack and organize from the wedding and from the honeymoon. I have a lot of work to do in the yard and garage, which compared to the crap I have to do here at work those things will be kind of nice.
The honeymoon was great. It was too hot outside in Phoenix to do much, though I admit I did not have a chance to get out much anyways because of.... other... things...
My older sister lives in north Phoenix so we visited her. What I do not understand is why everyone down there and in California refer to the major roads/highways as "The 60" or "The 10". In Minnesota we say "take highway 60 to highway 10" or "take 169 south to 494" etc.
We ate at a lot of cool authentic places in Phoenix and went shopping a few times. We then drove to San Diego for a few nights. The weather was much more tolerable. We spent some time at guitar stores trying out different amps. I tried a Deizel Herbert, VHT Deliverance, Carvin V3, MTS, Tone Navigator/TS100 poweramp, and Legacy, PV 5150 and a Crate Blue Voodoo. I did not care for the Deizel, Crate, 5150, V3, MTS, or the VHT, though I think the VHT had a blown something because no matter how much I cranked the volume knob, it did not get very loud. I thoroughly enjoyed the tones on the Tone Navigator and the Legacy. I could play the cleans on those amps forever. Obviously they are not high gain monsters but if you play anything besides metal they may work well. If I had the cash, time, and money, I would get a tone navigator/ts100 and mess around with it for a long time.
I ended up buying a custom Carvin C-66 after playing one for a while. It should be done in about 2 months. I'll post the pics and specs later. I also bought some pickups for a strat mutt that I have. The Carvin store was pretty cool and we were only a few minutes away from it.
We came home to find that my father in law built us a deck... and there was much rejoicing.
I was nice to get away from everything for a while after the wedding and house building. All in all I would say it was a lot of fun. We spent a lot of money and time relaxing. Time is two hours behind in Arizona and I thought it was kind of funny that I was ready for bed at 08:30 PM.
Now I guess it's back to real life
