Bodhran

Posted on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2020 at 6:04 pm

Ordered an 18″ bodhran and a second tipper from Musician’s Friend today. I’ll need to get a travel case and some mink oil for the skin, but I need to learn to play it first. It’s not a top of the line model, but the reviews are all positive. If I get that serious, I’ll upgrade. I’ll be the first one in the group to have one.

Also wound up all the loose ends with my primary physician today. So now I can send him a thank you/fare well message. I’ll head over to the pharmacy tomorrow and pick up the new scripts (same as I’ve been testing in the new dosages).


Made tuna mac today. Used the silicone strainer that I got six weeks ago, and I love it. My colander is going to grow lonely and dusty in the future. It held up to a full pot of macaroni and drained it fully without losing a single elbow. I am impressed.


Found a summer hat, trying to decide on a fedora or a panama. It’s hard to find an XXL (7 7/8, 24.5″) hat online. This is a Jaxon straw fedora in ivory.

I have a couple more rounds in the kitchen, sausage gravy for bread and spuds, and breakfast tacos to use up the rest of the pork loin section. The I’ll be able to coast a while.


I ordered new heads for my Norelco, having just replaced them with the set I have here. The price was right. I also got a clapping dolphin, similar to my clapping duck, as a backup or for clapping duets. I also found a good deal on mink oil for the bodhran skin.


All in all, I threw $150 at the internet today. Tomorrow, I’ll drain it in person for a similar amount. Then I won’t have to take anything from bank account for the rest of the month. Everything will be fine on the first of the month when I get my deposits.
