But I have been Marching Forth.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been ordering parts for my new PC one item at a time, in case Amazon delivery had a problem. In the past I&#8217;ve ordered multiple items from Amazon, and if one of the group doesn&#8217;t arrive and everything else does, it&#8217;s complicated to clear up. As a result of the daily packages it&#8217;s been like the 12 days of Christmas around here. (On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 64 gig of DDR5&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>I still haven&#8217;t ordered the storage &#8212; solid state drives (what types? my motherboard wants 2 different kinds), hard disk drive (&#8220;spinner disk&#8221;), external storage for backup? Part of me wants to get a NAS* &#8220;because then I could share projects between computers&#8221;. My computer tech suggests not buying things until it&#8217;s clear that I need them. Ok, yeah, but&#8230;having the fancier version makes me feel important, like I&#8217;m taking my work seriously, like my work IS important. It&#8217;s motivating and empowering. On the other hand, I don&#8217;t want to irritate my computer tech.<\/p>\n<p>(*) There was a video recently where the narrator was explaining why he didn&#8217;t need an ass, there wasn&#8217;t really a situation where he would use an ass, he might get an ass later. At least, that&#8217;s what it sounded like he was saying. \ud83d\ude09 So the question is, do I need an ass now, or should I wait, maybe get an ass when they go on sale?<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile &#8212; the Morning Noodles &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t photographed and stored away the last 3 noodles. There have been Morning Disturbances that interfered with the Morning Noodles. For example, one morning I got a phone call from Matt the Concrete guy, could he come by in 20 min?<\/p>\n<p>For all 3 of these days I&#8217;ve played experimental chords at the piano and have written down the chord spellings, but I did not finish filling up the pages. Today my other family members went out to eat and I had the house to myself for an hour. Instead of finishing the Noodle page, I played the prologue of my planet suite at full volume.<\/p>\n<p>At some point I&#8217;m going to sit down with each page and translate the chord spellings into music notation. I guess that means right now I have 3 servings of leftover Noodles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes it&#8217;s March 5th already. But I have been Marching Forth.
