January 2019 Challenge

Apple Watch users get different challenges every month to earn badges. My challenge this month is to burn at least 50,400 Calories in 31 Days. That equals to average of 1625.81 Calories a day; as recorded by the Apple Watch.

Guitar Maintenance: Use Mineral Oil

One tip I learned from my Guitar Tech Friends and Luthiers: use mineral oil to maintain your guitars. You don’t need to buy the overpriced “special” scented fretboard oils. For about $2.00 you can get mineral oils from your local pharmacy, supermarket and hardware store. You want to use odorless and “food-safe” mineral oil.

For example, Target sells “Mineral Oil USP, Lubricant Laxative” for $1.99.

Restringing EVH Wolfgang HT

One thing that every guitar playing person need to know is to restring the guitar. This past week alone I have two High E Strings broken on my EVH Wolfgang HT.

I had been having trouble with D’Addario EXL120 High E Strings and I’m for now switching back to Ernie Ball Super Slinky (9-42).

I also used D’Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner to tune the guitar.

I took my time to restring the guitar and did it right. It really made me appreciate the work that guitar techs do.

Apple Watch Nike+ Series 4

It’s October 5, 2018 and this means Apple Watch Nike+ Series 4 is released.

The packaging of Apple Watch Nike+ Series 4 is different than its Series 3 counterpart. I will add the comparison photo later, if when I find the box.

I ordered Space Gray Apple Watch Nike+ with Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band. The use of word “Anthracite” reminds me of the band Anthrax, not the bacteria.

There are boxes inside the packaging, the Watch and the charging cable+adapter.

The Apple Watch itself has its own packing sleeve.

The Anthracite/Black Nike Sport Band has its own packaging.

I bought Blue Horizon Sport Band to use with the Space Gray Apple Watch Nike+ Series 4. The combination looks nice.

110,479 7-Workout Week

This must be a record with the Activity Awards on the iPhone.

Let’s do the math here:

110,479 week
110,479 x 7 days
773,353 days

1,461  days in 4 years – including February 29 on the fourth year.

(773,353 / 1,461) x 4 = 2,177.325 years
