How I did it
How to buy a new amplifier
It took me
2 months
It made me
Loud

How I did it: As I mentioned in a previous post, I had my eye on a Fender M-80 Chorus amp that was being sold used at the music store where my son takes guitar lessons. I took too long to decide whether or not I wanted it; I finally decided to go for it, and the day I was going to buy it, discovered it had been sold.I began keeping an eye out on eBay, and found one that was being sold for roughly the same price that West End had theirs marked at. I suc… Read how I did it…

How to watch every episode of lost
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
Satisfied

How I did it: I have all previous seasons on DVD. Last year I watched the first three seasons before Season 4 began, but I didn't have time to do that this year. I watched the Season 4 set in preparation for the new season. Read how I did it…

How to start a blog
It took me
2 days
It made me
a blogger

How I did it: I read in a couple of "How I Did It" stories that if you have a Gmail account (which I do), you have a home at Blogger. I signed up, fiddled with my profile a bit, and today (Jan.1 - it took me 2 days to complete because I wanted to start in the new year) posted my first entry at http://jimmyrhythm.blogspot.com/ . Starting a blog is easy; keeping it up is the challenge I've set for myself. Maybe I should wait and mark this task as "Done" … Read how I did it…

It's All About Self-Discipline! 4 months ago

I was talking about weight loss, but the same can be applied to blogging. I’m embarrassed that I’ve gone so long without an entry. But you don’t care, do you? I thought not!

The 90 Day Challenge is over, and I’m happy to report that I lost a total of 15 pounds! I’ve gained 3 or 4 back since the challenge ended, but I’m still eating pretty much the same as I have the past 3 months, other than the occasional “I’ve Missed You!” meal of tacos or spaghetti. I’m down to 199 – first time in a year I’m back under 200 – and am looking forward to completing this goal.

Final Weigh-In 5 months ago

Had my final weigh-in last night for the TSMMA 90-Day Challenge: 195.6, which means my total loss during the program is 15 pounds.

I’m going to continue the program on my own until I get to the magic 190 mark I’m shooting for.

Learn how to read/understand guitar tabs. (read all 2 entries…)
I Ain't Got Rhythm 6 months ago

So I’ve started working on a short lesson that involves learning a blues solo, and it’s tabbed. I’ve found that it’s really not as confusing as I’d feared; however, I have to work on reading the time. I can play the notes as I read them, but when I attempt to play along with the guide track, I get lost. It’ll come with more practice, though.
