  1. Please no body should construe my remarks about the pandemic being over...my boss said that. I guess I'm walking back that remark. He is a really smart engineer but a terrible medical expert. It will always be $ in front of health in everything he considers. Regarding SC. My companies engineering team is in MI it is where I live. Close to our customers car business, but manufacturing is SC and NC. Really awesome country and the weather is more tolerable then my home in MI. Our manufacturing plants are big and numerous do awesome work and make the company a boatload of money! Pre Covid I made bi monthly visits. The people, let me say I got a ton of good friends there are great. Some have some funny views about the "war for state rights" and I will avoid those arguments and people who believe that as much as possible. Let me share this experience - did some world travel with a good SC friend, and we ended up in a bar in Germany arguing with a French guy...who was telling us what an awesome guy Michael Moore was and a villain President Bush 2 was. This has always stuck with me as a good way to think about people from the south. The guy from SC gets into this French guys face and states "Listen to me mister I come from the USA, not the bible belt but the buckle, and I'm not going to listen to you compare a left wing movie making nut to the president of the USA. We voted him in, and will vote him out if we need to but your vote is not considered and neither is your opinion." Dead silence for like 20 seconds as the French guy get the hell out...make me smile even today. OK going to play guitar getting a bit weepy with proud to be an American playing in my head....frickin Covid fog!
  2. The pandemic is over. Got all the shot to stay protected. Boss said you need to attend to the customer visit in SC. Ahhhh the pandemic?? It’s over he says go forth and make business. Ok but I’m wearing a mask on airplane . Ok he say just dress professionally none of those black crow T shirts like before. Me the guy next to me on the plane and some older Asian folk are the only masks in in the area. I wore my J Prine tree of forgiveness t. Came home with a cold tested 2 days negative day 3 positive. I’m messed up, call dr. Molnupliravir for next 5 days I’m almost back. Foggy and a weird headache. Wife followed suit her dr put her on paxovlid. These experimental drugs work I’m thankful for them. I will get the new booster in two weeks. Then a colonoscopy. That scares me too…..No more air travel for me. I’m pulling the plug soon.
  3. Does future splurging count? I put a hundey down on a 2021 Bronco, built Ford tough and the way I want it. On a long wait list - a Michigan person doesn't want a canvas roof for the heat to escape, and they got problems with molded in color hardtops. Big tires, leather, high end BangOlafsen stereo. Been waiting since March of last year for it to be built. Ford keeps sending me little trinkets to keep me interested, my wife sells them as fast as they come on marketplace. I’ve got big concerns because it’s sort of been discussed (truck forum) that independent Ford dealerships can jack up the price of what you ordered….hope not I will walk. Got to share my experience with guns…it always an opinionated subject. I’m what you would call a enthusiast, own a few and enjoy them for exactly what they are for. They are dangerous and you better not f around with them our you could end up seriously hurt or worse dead. None of your business how I store keep or carry them, or what I sleep with. ( I know a girl from cinci man was she fun) Right now guns are a hot topic in Michigan, a f’d up child killed other children in early Dec. My granddaughter was in the school when it happened. It was her class the cell phone video was shot in that made the media rounds. She lost her shoes climbing out the window to get away. It has impacted her and the family in a way that…well frankly I don’t think she will ever be better. My daughter her mom is in the Junior High school and we discussed this crazy little peckerwood murderer while playing rummy on Thanksgiving day and the trouble was noticed by the school. I was so angry, frustrated and helpless when I caught up to my granddaughter I could hardly speak. I finally did gather the strength and (hopefully wisdom) to let her know, I prayed and thanked God she was ok, that she was brave, smart, and bright and I was so happy she got away and came home to us. That I was sorry so very sorry about her friends, and asked her to please reach inside and find that beautiful spark of happiness that we have cherished for the last 14 years. Not to let this define her life, and not to spend one moment trying to figure out the why question on the murderer. So in closing I don’t feel like I have to own guns…and this situation my granddaughter lived has not made me want to purge any guns. If I didn’t know how to use them safely, I would sell every one and buy that guitar of my dreams, and I might someday. Funny side story when my grand daughters Mom was 16, 17 (she just turned 40) she had a date with a green mohawk sporting punker. I met the kid shooting pool in my rec room. All of our guns were in a non-locking the closet in the rec room. The very next day I went out and bought a gun safe. I to have worked, still do for those environment polluting automotive companies…now that’s a different opinion. What about China not joining the green accord, and the lumber companies who cut down all the mahogany and rosewood, they have certainly done worse for the environment! What about those hillbillys in the northwest with the chain saws going out in the middle of these giant forests and cutting down all the splatted maples damn chain saws! For sure this is a guitar forum, and I come here to read and look at guitar porn, but I thinks it ok to delve into other subjects…I would never attempt to push an agenda…and dog gone it I never got any emojis…can you collect and buy Gibson stuff with them?
  4. Hello everybody! I have been trolling this forum for a long time. Please I don't mean to offend by trolling and I don't dump emoji's, and everybody's opinion is...ok, I might not understand your opinion but it's ok. Lots of members have provided me both entertainment and knowledge... both in guitar and life. My usual routine is to hop on at lunch during work, perusing the content, looking for my favorite posters…postee’s. Some are gone forever…I really miss Milord’s posts they were the best. Anyway my Gibson’s and other instruments are not super high end but good for me a 89 Studio LP, a Midtown with bigsby , Tele squire that was upgraded pickups TV jones and Demarizo plus locking tuners and bigsby. I know friend don’t let friends…bigsbys but for me it’s part of the fun. And a Martin 0017 Whiskey Sunset. I practice/play as much as I can, and play out very little but enjoy any time I can play with friends. Music tastes pretty varied…but I’m a rocker for sure. Just find myself enjoying country more and more, and cried like a baby when we lost J. Prine. I did see him live in Memphis on his Tree of Forgiveness tour 3rd row seats. Hell from that paragraph you can likely tell how young I really am. My superman stood for truth justice and the American way, (could have knocked me over with a feather when he came out last month), and his friend rode a fiery white horse with a speed of light and cloud of dust yelling out Hi Ho Silver. I have had an epiphany today, let me tell you about it. Pandemic has been tough, lost a work friend March 2019 right in the beginning…they said it was complications of flu. Then our governor locked us down, cost a lot of people their livelihood and everything they owned. My blessing was my company called the Red Yellow and Green company allowed us technical and engineering folk to stay home and work. I work for the green division. We are back to the office now but the company recognizing their customers (car builders) are allowing there technical engineering folk to work from home. So to stay competitive they rolled out a plan allowing work from home days. It’s pretty nice, I like it a lot. So here comes the yellow division who have been growing, all the new development has been put there, they are taking over the green division. The green division has a bad business model; combustion instead of electrical. A yellow president is replacing the green president, the yellows have stated repeatedly changes are coming and some will lose their jobs. The yellow plan takeover is official Jan 4. I’m fairly certain my position is going. It’s been 20 years, and I thought retirement was next year or, maybe 2023. It was my choice when, and they would let me ride out with my gold rolex and fat old pension plan. This yellow take over was announced and process started on 10/4. Since that day I have been one angry, evil thinking depressed muther. Not playing haven’t’ cracked open a case…just total despair. Until last night…opened the case on the 89 LP Studio and spent almost 4 hours strumming, picking f-ing playing. Yes. It felt good. Slept like a baby. Then this morning I realized…this job, that I have devoted some much of me into…its not me. I have done all the right things. I’m proud of my accomplishments, friendships developed and I’m really blessed, I don’t want for anything. What would I do if I had no job. Made a list and it looks good…the future is lookin brighter. A big list but for sure! A couple related Two hours practice a day I have spent the last 20 plus years enjoying the Gibson forum lounge with no input. I’m going to get active…see what it’s like. Say thanks to those that enrich.
