What do I want more – Part 2

Posted on January 17, 2021January 17, 2021 by Wikket

At the end of 2019 I wrote a self-assessment piece around my struggles to really zero in on what I wanted at the time. This one blog is by far my most popular, even 12 months on, it still has the highest hit count. If you want to revisit it, you can do so by…

40. Keep growing

Posted on October 29, 2020October 29, 2020 by Wikket

Recently, I started growing a hops plant. Its been something I’ve wanted to do since picking some hops (“some” being alllooootttt of them!) a little while ago. Not really knowing what to do, I had to do some research and source the necessary things, especially the Rhizome. So far things are going well, the recent…

24. The rainbow connection

Posted on October 13, 2020 by Wikket

Rainbows are wonderous things, a meteorological phenomenon, something from the land of unicorns and a place where Irish Leprechauns hide their stash. Strictly speaking rainbows are just light reflecting off water droplets and aren’t a real thing, but they did get me thinking. When did we stop chasing rainbows? Seriously, when did we go from…

23. Growth Spurt

Posted on October 12, 2020 by Wikket

I’ve always been a short arse; I think I missed the days when they were handing out the growth pill or something. For a long time, I thought that I would never succeed because I was too short. I believed, rather foolishly, that only way to truly get somewhere in life was to be tall….

Sandcastles….

Posted on February 3, 2019 by Wikket

“Dad, wanna help me build a sandcastle?” These are the words my five year old called out to me as I wondered out of the water on a recent trip to the beach. In the past I would have declined the offer; and while I cited many different reasons, it was because I didn’t see…

2 month progress video(s). It’s been 2 months si 2 month progress video(s).
It’s been 2 months since I got my very first @officialgretsch lapsteel. It also didn’t take long to be convinced to get a @nuxefx mighty plug, which I’ve been working through trying to find my sound. 
You can hear the four sound set ups that I went with on the “Clean”, “Overdrive”, “Distortion” & “Acoustic Sim” settings. All the tunes are belting out on the small, but versatile @orangeamplifiers amp. 
I’m trying to channel my best @rrtfb in my playing, but I know have a long way to go. 
All feedback greatly appreciated.

Where have I been? It’s been nearly 3 months si Where have I been? 
It’s been nearly 3 months since I last wrote something, so I gave myself a swift kick in the arse and got back to it. 
In today’s blog I talk about momentum and motivation, comfort and self worth. 
It’s my normal style of writing, choked full of randomness. Check it out via the link in my bio. 
Oh, and I briefly mention keys as well!

We all need to start somewhere and this is where i We all need to start somewhere and this is where it all begins on my lap steel journey. 
While my ultimate goal is to play the pedal steel, the lap steel is a great start until I can find a suitable pedal steel. 
Ever since hearing @rrtfb for the first time, I’ve been inspired to learn to slide. 
Playing traditional guitars is difficult as I can’t bend my wrist properly, thanks to a motorbike accident many years ago, so I’m hopeful that I can find my rhythm here. 
In my first lap steel set up I have: 
A @officialgretsch electromatic lapsteel
An @orangeamplifiers crush mini amp
An @officialibanezguitars mini Tube Screamer pedal
And many other bits and pieces that bring it all together. There also something special in the making to help out in that space. 
Slide on!

I’m even giving their deodorant a go, to move to something that naturally based. 
They also threw in some Leather Pharaoh oil for good measure, thanks team. 
I have the Wild West scent, I have the acoustic guitar; now all I need is the @creatures_of_the_wild_unknown hat and @wild_river_mountain_distillery whiskey to go with them and I’m set!

Happy Austraila day! While each of us spend Austr Happy Austraila day! 
While each of us spend Australia Day doing vastly different things, I feel it’s important that we do the things we love in the country we love so much. 
So, for me, it’s about music and beer, and a BBQ later in the day. 
In this picture are some of my favorite Australian things, accompanied by a tag along Brit (as is always the way!). 
Enjoy your day, doing whatever it is that you choose to do.

What do I want more - part 2
. 
Yesterday, I didn’t want to do this anymore. 
Yesterday, I was ready to quit blogging. 
Yesterday, I was ready to shut everything down and walk away. 
But, today?
Well, today, I’m back at it. 
We all have days where we don’t want to keep doing what we are doing. We all have days when we want to quit. And that’s ok, there is nothing wrong with having days like that. 
But, it’s what you do after that that matters. 
Today’s blog is a Part 2 of a blog I wrote at the end of 2019. And it takes about how I get past days like yesterday.

Welcome to 2021 The first blog of this new year is Welcome to 2021
The first blog of this new year is about goal setting. I’ve made progress in many areas over the last 12 months, but there is still work to do and things to improve on. 
So, I’ve set all new goals, with targets and deadlines. It’s a highly beneficial progress that I encourage everyone to do. You can read about my goals by clicking on the link in my bio. 
The next step is laying it all out in my @orderofman battle planner to hold myself accountable. 
Time to get after it.
