  1. Congratz. It goes well with the couch.
  2. Not to derail the thread, but good to see you again. Hope you stay around awhile.
  3. I don't usually pay too much attention to the brand. I have Fender, Planet Waves, no-name...whatever. Can't remember ever having one fail on me. I think the last few I've purchased were Planet Waves. I bought a used Monster about 10 years ago and always used that one as first in line from my guitar. Didn't notice anything better or worse about it, but since I paid a little extra I treated it a little special. Until I left it behind at a gig last year. So anyway. I would go with Planet Waves if I were to buy new ones now.
  4. I just said to my wife this morning, maybe I can find a video tutorial on using this thing. My son was sent to barista classes by his job to learn all that stuff.
  5. We use a Cuisinart to make pots or Keurig for individual cups. My son brought this into our house, but I've yet to get an espresso.
  6. Maybe they struck up an on-line romance and hooked up. 😃 Come on Duane don't leave us hangin.
  7. Looks great. I hope it brings your family years of summer enjoyment.
  8. It doesn't matter what evidence, if any, comes out. It will never satisfy the conspiracy theorists.

    Bargain!

    You can set up payments for $260 a month.
  10. Sorry for your loss. He seems to have led a very interesting life. You were fortunate to have known him.
  11. I have no idea what I'm looking at, but it's pretty and impressive.
  12. And only $19 Shipping. I hope it's legit and you end up with a great deal.
  13. Looks nice. Have you ever used a B Bender? I never have.
  14. So every year, 3 or 4 of us spend Memorial Day Weekend out in the mountains of Cumberland Maryland at a bluegrass festival called Delfest. We always camp along the main road with railroad tracks behind us. There's a lot of foot traffic going back and forth all day and night and we always chat people up as they go past. So this year Steve had the brilliant idea to bring his big Jenga game and set it up in front of the campsite. It was a huge hit and was included in the official highlight reel. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CszFnGAp__s/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D If anyone ever has a chance to go to a bluegrass festival, I would definitely suggest it. I don't generally listen to a lot of bluegrass and am unfamiliar with many of the artists that play, but the music is great to hear live and it's a super friendly community of people. We look forward to Delfest all year and then it comes and goes so quickly. Only 350 some days til Delfest 2024.
  15. Yeah. Today was bad in Maryland. In addition to the haze, you could actually taste it in your mouth.
  16. It was just about 10:30-11:00 pm on June 7, 2014 and we were having a jam when our good friend Ed fell off his drum stool of a fatal heart attack just after we finished playing Sympathy For The Devil. It doesn't seem like 9 years ago. Here is an earlier pic of him and I several years before that. I'm holding his Gold Top LP 1957 Reissue which became mine after he died. I'm also going to re-post for the who-knows how many times the video I cobbled together for his funeral. It only ever gets viewed when I post it here or share it again with our friends,
  17. Hope the installation goes well. A pool is nice to have. We bought our house in 1993, and there was an oval above ground pool with it. I knew nothing about pools then, but someone advised us we had a Johnny Weissmuller( he was Tarzan) pool, and other than replacing the liner, it will last us forever. Well it's 2023 and as of now they haven't been wrong.
  18. Back in the early 90s I used to a British show Red Dwarf. I never watched enough to know what it was really about, other than it was set in Space in what seemed to be the distant future. From what I did see of it, cracked me up though.
  19. Played our monthly show at Mt Branch Golf Course tonight. I didn't have much time to go over material since I got home from Delfest on Monday and was wiped out from 4 days of music, partying and camping. But I managed to fudge my way through everything. Also, we lost our sound guy, so we had to run everything ourselves. Our bass player works for a sound company, so he can do everything, it's just hard to run sound and play bass. He has wireless so he can walk out front and check. The weather was perfect and crowd great, even by this place's standards. And I don't think I've ever been happier with my rig sound. After getting my PRS amp fixed at the factory, it sounds better than before. Plus that new Morley pedal is working fantastic. The band even tells me how much better it sounds. I had gigs lined up for Thursday, Friday and Saturday (band, acoustic, band), but I bowed out of Friday's acoustic gig and our our friend Quinny is doing it in my place. I don't have photo from gig, but here we are at Delfest. Steve, the one taking photo, and Quinny next to him, are two guys who are playing Friday without me. The other guy is Mark, a buddy of ours.

    Books

    I finally got around to checking out "Forged" by Bart Ehrman. Many people find him controversial, and he isn't always my favorite guy to listen to. But this is one of his most acclaimed books. Worth the read.
  21. They are good looking. But yeah, those prices are prohibitive to me.
