I bought myself a 2nd hand Digitech RP50 today. I don't play my guitar much and one of the reasons is the crappy tone i get from my tubescreamer pedals. When i tried to test it out i noticed that my amp has developed a major fault on the clean channel and is unusable. I had to get out my daughters little 10 watter which i think sounds a lot better anyway. The pedal seems to have all i need to get a similar sound to my favourite pedal the ibanez fatcat although it's going to take some fiddling...
My first telescope turned up today, a cheap 114500mm from china. Now that i've started this is likely to be the first of many. I've always had an interest in astronomy but was holding out till i could afford to spend around $5k on a setup. However my daughter recently showed some interest so i thought it best to start now otherwise i might never have gotten around to it.
I chose to call this blog Comet Hunter as most other things i was trying were already taken but searching for comets might be a worthwile endeavour. Although it would be probably be easier to go digging in the hills for gold. I have an old version of Starry Nights that i'm using to find candidates for tonight, hopefully it'll be clear skies.
