Been doing a lot of cleaning around the ranch. Decluttering. Multiple trips to thrift stores. Really getting a handle on what's here. It's helpful, and I do cleaning all year round, and decluttering, but hitting up the garage area was huge, before the hot weather starts and it'll be unbearable to be out there during the day.
Just when 2025 is almost over, don't count out dead scorpion ranch ! We did a couple last minute projects. Unexpectedly, we did a zine - a great dude over on Mastodon had the idea, and gathered a bunch of us together to make it. I think it looks great. We put it up for FREE download at three places: Swampgas #1 @ the Quiet Meow Design itch page (Quiet Meow's first thing on itch!) Swampgas #1 @…
Wow, it's already November.

So now I need to find something else that uses a 9V adapter in the house to test these and potentially send this pedal back if it arrived defective 🙄 I was too annoyed to finish today. So I hit up some…
Recently bought this GL-AX1800 Flint router on the suggestion of some friends from Mastodon. Hooking it up now- it has to be better than the VERY old router I have now.
WordPress pissed me off, so I started this blog here as an alternative and as a closer look as to what's going on in the studio. I'll still keep updating the WordPress one sporadically too for now, as they apologized and admitted it was an error. Oh and this is Jake, you may know me from Mastodon .
