6.285 fopal, guitar

Monday 09/15/2025

Headed out for FOPAL first thing. Thanks to my having handed off some of the AV chair duties to John M, I didn’t have to go to the event coordinator’s meeting. Did the post-sale triage. Bought coffee and a couple of other things.

Then I went to Gryphon Instruments and had a strap button installed on the guitar. I had been using a strap that tied with a lace to the head but it was awkward and also was compressing my ulnar nerve causing nerve pain in my left hand. So I got a wide padded strap but it needed to attach to the body of the guitar, not by a string to the end of the neck. They put in a nice gold button on the heel of the neck by the body. The new strap feels good.

Back to CH in time for lunch.

At 4 it was time for Rhonda’s monthly open meeting. She was supposed to share something about the new satellite building. She had a lot about the finances of the new building but could not yet disclose its actual location. Many people are sure they know which of the nearby buildings it is, no two the same guess. The debt will be guaranteed by Cal Mortgage, a state agency. They did a very thorough examination of the deal including an appraisal of the combined buildings, which was very positive as to value and future market prospects.
