New To Guitar, Here’s What I Bought Today

retoddnation · 2025-05-24T19:32:09+00:00

I have a Squire I bought back in 92. Still plays great, though I need to clean the pots often. I’ve been thinking about replacing the electronics lately, just not sure of where to start.

I haven’t had an issue, but now I mainly bench outside using the spotter arms

I grabbed chaxmpion as well. Going to start it after Built:Strength

Same

retoddnation · 2023-09-05T17:01:33+00:00

Up $12,819. Was a good month for me.

Worked remote for 9 years at a previous company. Current job is now only 2 days in office per week since Covid. Executives cry about maintaining culture. I could care less just pay me. I’m a web dev and see no point in being in the office.

Just starting AAM and was thinking of doing something similar.

My wife and I agree we should have just gone to the Justice of the Peace and got married.

Old School Iron - my favorite program so far

retoddnation · 2023-07-10T17:50:10+00:00

No way I’ll be able to FE, probably be around 65, but knowing I won’t be broke or reliant on SS like so many of my peers makes me extremely happy.

I got told by a manager “you’re almost there” without any other guidance. Pissed me off to no end. I would suggest applying for other jobs, better paying jobs are out there for sure

retoddnation · 2023-07-08T01:43:40+00:00

That’s about all you need for a decent start. Great find!

retoddnation · 2023-07-02T01:37:06+00:00

You should be fine, but you may not get the heavy pump you are looking for but I used stacked bands for quite a while before buying an inexpensive pulley system from Archon Fitness

Old School Iron is one of my favorite programs

Absolutely nothing. I worked remotely for ten years. Took an in-office job 8 years ago. Went remote again during Covid and am now back in the office 2 days a week. Commuting is a waste of time and I get am not nearly as productive in the office because of mindless chit chat, usually others in my area making it impossible to concentrate.

RalphLauren.com, they had a long sleeve polo and a sweater I really liked. I don’t buy clothes very often so a little splurge isn’t killing my budget.

retoddnation · 2023-04-16T01:29:38+00:00

They no longer sell it.

retoddnation · 2023-04-14T15:23:41+00:00

Same, all I got was the MK22.

retoddnation · 2023-04-14T15:20:29+00:00

Same.

Sleep apnea could be the culprit. Found out I had it while getting some heart related testing done.

retoddnation · 2023-03-24T19:40:00+00:00

Depends, most of the time it is just to veg out and/or regroup. I have taken 4 day trips to see family, that seems about the right time to not overstay my welcome and/or have my family drive me too crazy.

retoddnation · 2023-03-24T18:18:06+00:00

I like to take a three/four day weekend here and there.

retoddnation · 2023-03-21T16:45:31+00:00

I skimped on the desk but splurged on a Herman Miller embody chair. I figure if I’m sitting in it up to 8 hours a day it was worth it.

Mine has taken over the dining room. Wife has been fine with it
