The first installment of Photo of the Day for 2018.
When I saw this scene, I told myself that I had to capture the moment.

Red D-tuna
I acquired a “used” EVH Wolfgang Special Stealth guitar in early April, 2016 and it came with D-tuna preinstalled. I noticed the D-tuna was rattling on the “drop” position. It turned out the D-tuna locking screw was too long. The second D-tuna locking screw provided with the guitar is identical in length with the one installed on the guitar.
I ended up buying a Red D-tuna kit to get the shorter locking screw.
After installing the shorter locking screw, the D-tuna no longer rattles on the “drop” position.

Installing Dunlop Straplok on an EVH Wolfgang Special Stealth
I installed Dunlop Straplok on an EVH Wolfgang Special Stealth that I acquired earlier this month. The black Dunlop Straplok matches the look of the guitar nicely.
I like the dual design system because it is compatible with traditional guitar straps.

Saving Truffle the Kitten
During the rainstorm we found two stray kittens in the backyard looking for shelter. Both of the were in bad shape, covered with crusts. On Saturday morning one of the kittens died. We took the surviving one to the veterinarian on Sunday. They gave the kitten a bath, cleaning and some shots. Currently we have to sequester this kitten, which named Truffle, due to its condition. We have high hopes that Truffle would make full recovery. We also hope to find Truffle the Kitten a loving home.
The Trouble with Windows 8.1 Update
I could not believe how Windows 8.1 failed to install on a computer that has a factory-installed Windows 8.
I’d have to wipe the hard drive again and use the system-restore discs on this computer.
Going Back to Windows 8
For some odd reasons, Windows 10 would not activate after upgrading from Windows 8.1. I called Microsoft and they told me to reinstall Windows 8, then upgrade to Windows 8.1 and upgrade to Windows 10. Microsoft also advised me to call HP and request Windows 8 Product Key should the process failed.
Seriously?
Apparently the “factory-installed” product key caused the error. The end user product key is said to be installed in the UEFI BIOS, encrypted.
I guess I’d have to spend a few more days on this project.
