Necropost about death. Apropos though as my dog Brynn was just diagnosed with lymphoma. Good prognosis with chemo, thank goodness for dog insurance. Still we have limited time with her, at best a year. My wife is distraught. She's snoring at my feet as I write this. She is the big girl in front in this photo.

Papoose. Apparently when I was born I had a very red face. I know it is un P.C. and insensitive. I didn't give it to me, my parents did.

Could be the very first time I completely agree with you Nice guitars though!

Great story. She reminds me of Jeff Beck and I mean that in a very complimentary way.

Goldtop, Cherryburst, White (on a firebird).

Good on ya Scales, rock on and enjoy! I'd love to hear your original stuff!

love it

Turn a MIM (or is it an MIM) into exactly what you want and will use. What's not to like? The bones are really excellent, great job.

Stay hydrated(drink water). Often caused when salts come out of solution in your middle ear when you are relatively dehydrated and affects the system that stabilizes your equilibrium. It is miserable having vertigo. I did some of the exercises and drank a lot of water and it went away fairly quickly.

Trying like hell to remain optimist believing that it brings much better things than pessimism. This year so far started with us in LA living in a viral tsunami being the hotspot of the country. My best friend from my training days died yesterday from covid (87-91 - maintained a close relationship since. Healthy guy, no preexisting conditions). Not starting well. Optimistically things can change right?

Fantastic Steve, good on you. Really great looking LP. The 60's neck is my favorite, by far.

2020 vision, rear view vision. I feel a country song coming on. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year

Really great, looking forward to that

House building is progressing. Even with 4 hours sleep my back didn't hurt as much this morning. Wife is happy because she closed her office due to the pandemic but she gets to be back home full time while she monitors the house being built and plans a new office sometime next year....here. Avocado's still hanging on the tree. A lot to be happy about.

I'm fairly unsophisticated in such matters but I do have experience with ceramic magnets vs. Alnico V and I don't think they are similar. I had an LP classic with ceramic humbuckers and they were incendiary devices. Maybe the SD's are close because they are more powerful? In the end if you love it, good on ya.

The hospital said high risk people get it first, as they should, ICU nurses, infectious disease, etc. They were pretty organized and got it done within a day. I am 2nd tier, initially estimated mid January so I thought I've followed (what I think are) common sense guidelines so I'll wait until then and hopefully not get the virus. We are in the midst of an exponential surge here in So. Cal on the order of thousands of new cases per day. ICUs are full. Hospital ER parking lots have tents to take care of very sick people who are dropped off. Honestly surreal. I work in an outpatient center that sees about 30-40 patients a day during the pandemic I got a call from the hospital that said come on down, you are at risk especially now, we have enough to vaccinate in your category. They were pretty efficient. Not often said about big organizations. I'm thinking it will be that way all around. I bet it'll be available much sooner than people are expecting.

I did this today. I'll call it light at the end of the tunnel. I'm not grimacing, my neck is just old.

Luckily the deer haven't come back since the fire. Only a matter of time. Gotta get a fence soon!

presbythredia (presby=old age). Hard to imagine anyone harvesting anything now but the rabbits have been having a go at the avos that are still ripening. Luckily they didn't chew on the actual fruit, only the stems because the fruit are very hard. I let this one ripen for 2 weeks and it was perfect and delicious. I present to you, a Pinkerton avocado. Easily identified by it's long neck. Notice the meant to be gourmet looking salt bowl (square really) and the stem of a chardonnay glass. what a treat.

Lookin really great Dub.

Wow Rabs, outstanding, congratulations!

You need it. Like with your new Nashville Tele, this MIM is top notch. Go ahead. 😁

I have the Fender MIM XII. It really is great. Great neck, great thin-ish profile, for a 12. Lake Placid Blue.

One of my first make out sessions, with the sheriff's daughter no less of a small Arkansas town, 1976 or 7 (when did it come out?), was to this song which she loved. Hell I loved it too and still do. She dumped me soon afterwards. Oh well. The song had great building of energy. Great voice. One of my goals in life is to write and record a song that someone says the same thing about. Wouldn't be me singing but at least writing. His voice was Styx.

I was in college in Fayetteville, Arkansas living with my brother who was in his last semester as an architectural student. He spent an all nighter at the school. I was woken up the next morning by the alarm radio broadcasting a local station which was playing Beatles song after Beatles song. I got up and my brother had just come back to the apartment. I said, "Man, it's gonna be a great day, they're playing nothing but Beatles!" He said, "Phillip sit down." I can't believe it's been 40 years. The death of John affected me more than any other of celebrities whom I admired. He is still my favorite song writer.
