Yeah, I don't think the day was truly salvageable by any means, but it was a nice surprise to come home to something positive.  I just finished their wah kit, and I'm working on a couple more I got for my birthday.  They're nice pedals and a really fun project (and not anywhere near as expensive as building a guitar!).  In fact, a beer and working on one is going to be my therapy tonight after I'm done practicing for my guitar meetup tomorrow.
