We found a nice looking 1970′s R-125 (Mediterranean) Hammond Organ for the house looking through Kijiji. It was up for 30 bucks but the lady was nice and said we could have it for free! The only problems were getting it home, repairing a key that was broken, and fixing a short in the bass pedals.
Well after a full day of loading and driving, we got it back home. Today I repaired the key by dismantling the top, removing the key, and then krazy gluing the plastic back together. This guide really helped alot.
I am still reading up on the bass pedal circuit, and giving it a nice polish right now. Thanks Sharie!

Picked up the Roland TD-9 Drums today and got to play a bit after Anna and Mommy. It is a TD-9k kit (mesh snare, rubber toms) which was a great decision (mesh toms were a thousand more dollars = really, buy the TD-9 brain, and upgrade the toms after. People on the V-Drums forums say this, and they are right.)
Other than that, a DW 5000 Accelerator (DW5000ad3) Single Bass drum pedal which is the most amazing pedal I have ever played, and two pairs of nice sticks. Vic firth 7a’s (for Anna) and 5a’s (for me). She loves drumming with the sticks and her meter is great (even on the Nar). Drum Drum Drum! now if Dad can catch up!

Had a fun time at the local driving range, hitting 3 Wood and Sand Wedge draws. After 3 buckets each we did some putting. Learned lots today. When we were heading there I realized I had lost my card for the driving range. Thanks to the guys at Fraserglen Golf Course. They were able to replace it on the spot, with the balance that was left on the old card. Good stuff!

Using Exact Audio Copy on the laptop to convert our old CD’s to mp3. Downloaded a binary of the LAME Mp3 encoder, and found a way to create directories for Artist/Album/Title. Working great! Just in case that last link ever stops working, it was

Rubyripper on Ubuntu looks like fun, but the DVD drives are downstairs. So for this task, Windows and the laptop it is!
