I'm good... Have a dilemma this morning tho.
This:

So, my fine tuner pegs at the bottom of the violin were getting either way too tight or way to loose, so I readjusted them like I always do every once in a while. Now, the biggest string (G), got way too tight, but still wasn't the right note. Had my mom look at it, she tried turning the tuning peg and the string got so tight that it flew out of the fine tuner peg and was way too loose to tighten on the big peg, but too tight to get back in the fine tuner peg. now I have a three stringed violin today and need to go practice at church for Sunday. I think I figured out how to reinstall the string right (hopefully). Thank God it didn't break...

I hate when that happens..
Hope you got it to stay in place? Is it working now?

Well, I've chickened out. After messing with it some more, the bridge shifted so it was leaning, so I had to fix it too. Thats probably from the uneven pressure of the D,A,and E strings pulling it sideways. I'm just going to take it the shop. I'm pretty sure they won't charge anything just to fix a string... People on YouTube make it look SO easy, but it isn't...

I really really hope we get Brahma chicks! If we don't, Then we are going to ask our friends if they can raise them for us until they are older. But if we entirely don't get Brahma chicks then we are getting chicks defiant next year

We had an opportunity to get a Buff Brahma out of the bin at Meyer Hatchery (it didn't look like any of the other chicks, so we knew what it was), but opted out. Would you be getting Light Brahmas? I'm so excited for you! e

We are hoping to special order some chickies soon...

Loosen the fine tuner all the way and then twist the big tuner. I have to do it all the time! My little brother's is always doing that...

It isn't so hard once you've done it over 300 times!

tuned out the string had a minor break. Had to be replaced. While at the shop, the man informed me that I have to have my almost 2 year old bridge replaced ($73 ) because t is warping. From the dry heat and freezing air. I knew my bow was acting up because of humidity, but hadn't noticed the bridge. *sigh*. Why does everything have to be so expensive? Plus it'll take four days to be replaced, so I'll have to use my older brother's violin which honestly isn't the same...
