As an Illinois transplant I can attest that Colorado front range Winters are nothing like Chicago. Don't tell anyone though.

Oh and if you don't have a chromatic tuner you are going to want one. They are cheap and awesome things for tuning instruments.

From the UnusualInstruments community on Reddit: β€˜Mandolin Guitar Harp’ zither found in antique store. Pretty rough condition overall but seems to still have all its strings but one. Explore this post and more from the UnusualInstruments community

Might be a challenge to find new strings. Maybe look at zither strings? Here is a thread about a similar instrument on reddit.

I find it super cool to see this stuff.

Kinda interesting that the right side which appears to be double courses of strings (like a mandolin) do not have sharps or flats. Does the book that I assume came with it, call it a Guitar Mandolin Harp? Also I love that it has the price on the label in the sound hole.

I play a variety of stringed instruments but never one of those.

Cool! Probably the biggest risk would be if it can't take the string tension. Is it in tune (or close) now? If yes then it shouldn't explode with the new strings. I'd try changing just one or two strings at a time. Have you found a set of new strings?

Two facts:

1) I'll be that guy and point out that if you count the first one today is the 250th Independence day even though it has only been 249 years since July 4th, 1776.

2) The GOP are a bunch of outright ant-American fascists.

It would be hilarious if he succeeded in making a bunch of them lose their primary and then died. Really would be awesome on so many levels.

Veterans for Peace are in DC today protesting Trump’s military parade, cuts to VA benefits, and US military being deployed on America’s streets.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles β€” not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Repost if YOU are going to a No Kings Day rally on Trump’s birthday, June 14th.

This is a great summary of what the events are for and why it’s important to TURN OUT!

Please watch and share.

Dear NBA, I know it looks bad if your supposed MVP goes out in Round 2. Especially with all the other upsets. But if you wanted OKC to advance, just let us know Call me a homer but this officiating difference between SGA and Jokic is ridiculous. #NBAPlayoffs #NBA

As a completely unqualified white dude I apparently meet the administration's criteria. I've never had a TV show on Fox but I'm going to take myself out of the running now just in case they overlook that.
