PUNCH!

I got a punch in pedal for my 4-Track yesterday. Took some figuring out - and the butchering of an already butchered song to figure it out. The song being Bunnystyle, which I just can't get right.

What this means is that I'll be able to record things better. If I screw up a part, then I can more easily fix it, all said and done.

It'll all still sound amateurish, yes. But this expediates the process even more.

I hate the metric system.

I just can't believe it. I own a 1988 Plymouth - far before the Daimler merger/takeover. And after spending about half the day taking my front tire off, putting it back on, and dicking with the brakes, I finally figured it out.

3/8" is too small. 7/16" is too big. This means that either there's a 13/32" socket that I need to buy, or my beautiful American machine has been infected by the metric system.

Rather than support such a system, however, I'll have a fine American worker fix the brakes. This way, there's one less socket being sold, much less brake fluid on my driveway, and the metric piece gets treated like a communal toilet.

Which is exactly what I think of the metric system.
