It took a bit to get my strumming and open chord changes back up to snuff , so I just played everything on it for a couple of days. Use it or lose it. I won't neglect it any more.

I like crossing the wrap once at the top then winding them down. Since I started using a winder the wraps are close to perfect,
it's harder to do that without...re-positioning the turning hand tends to add some chaos.

I'll be able to use up some of our remaining lettuce as well. We are running out of fresh foods after being In for the last two weeks. It appears we will be able to get delivery from a small local market. If not we can at least do a pick up. I'm ready for some meat on the grill and temps look good by the end of the week.

My employer encourage those that could t work remotely starting the 23rd and yesterday announced the office is closed till further notice except for lab personnel. It is nice avoiding the 10 hours a week commuting. I can walk to the grocery store to get essentials when needed. Haven't really had to leave home very often. Doog, does miss meeting new people though...

I didn't own a string winder until a couple years ago and still have a habit of not using it; on a couple of my guitars it can knock the headstock if I'm not careful. My favorite tuners to string are still the Kluson (or G&L for that matter) style slotted tuners.
