My Hall's glass flute arrived. My friend has a tuner program on his iPhone and the tuning of it is quite nearly perfect. As advertised. I'm pleased that I don't have to do one thing about the tuning. I can just pick it up and play it and it should do just fine. It won't be me out of tune, and even if for some reason I was there is nothing I can do about it. So, there! '-)
My brother and I were a little late going for our walk in the woods tonight. It is cold outside and not much wind so I didn't bundle up as much as usual. I've been wearing these cheap cloth gardening glove to give my hands some protection. They work pretty good after the first round or so. Not tonight. For some reason my hands got chilled in the gloves and they never warmed up.
I've had my head in youtube fractal videos again for much of the day. I will get burned out soon and have to stay away from fractals, but I am is hoping to build a fractal TV antenna just to see if it works as advertised. I finally understand how to start the process and make the first iteration. From there it should be fairly simple to do.
Maybe I'll have better luck making a fractal antenna than I did making a pvc pipe flute. It is a fairly sure thing that I'll make other attempt to make some flutes from pvc and other materials too. One of the problems I will have to overcome is drilling the holes in the pipe once I get all the measurements right.
Making crisp, clean holes in a flute is a big deal. Even my new glass flute has raised edges around the holes so that my finger tips will cover the hole easier. With the pvc flute the edges of the holes can't easily be raised, so they need to have nice clean edges in order for my fingers to seal of the hole to change notes. Maybe a new type of drill bit might help.

I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
