  1. I have a Peterson Stroboclip on my J-45 and the Peterson ap on my phone, but I kept the Snark on my J-15 and an old Fishman FT-2 on my 1933 Gibson mandolin.

    I just ordered another Fishman FT-2 from Strings and Beyond. I like how it folds down out of the way and you can just leave it on. And they are much tougher and durable.

    Those Snarks are simply too fragile.

     

  2. Damn, Dog, that's a helluva lotta Bear provenance.

    It's amazing to me that no other team since has ever figured out how they could kill the quarterback so quickly, and make it look so easy.

    It truly was a joy to watch.

    This bitter and disillusioned Minnesotan will be sitting out this thread….

    You don't hear me bragging that the 85 Bears would clobber either of those teams.

    But they would...

     Every time they mention or show Taylor Swift we take a toke. 

    That'll be an expensive game.

    Is that legal weed, or are you funding the cartels?

    Love that watch. 👆 I have a slight obsession with watches and time pieces.  Just recently picked up this Casio watch.  Not a brand I love, but this one makes the cut with its simple clean design and reasonable price.

    I have an old Citizen dive watch that is beat to a pulp, I use it for days I'm changing oil, painting, etc. 

    I must admit, that solar battery is over 15 years old and that watch still keeps perfect time. They surely do have solar watches figured out.

  6. A fighter pilot and a cargo pilot are flying around, talking crap to each other on the radio. The fighter pilot goes on about how much cooler he is than the cargo pilot and says, "Watch this, brah!" hits the afterburner, does a barrel roll and then a loop...

    "Top that!" he shouts to the cargo pilot.

    "Ok, well watch this." says the cargo pilot.

    The plane just goes straight for a while.

    "How'd you like that?" asks the cargo pilot.

    The fighter pilot is confused and asks, "What did you do?"

    The cargo pilot replies, "I went to the head and took a leak, then I went to the galley and got myself some more coffee."

  7. How much do you get paid?

    The homeowner got into his grubbiest clothes one Saturday morning and set about all the chores he’d been putting off for weeks. He’d cleaned out the garage, pruned the hedges, and was halfway through mowing the lawn when an attractive woman pulls up and yells out her window, “Say, what do you get for yard work?”

    The homeowner thought for a moment, then answered, “The lady who lives here lets me sleep with her.”

    They’ve crossed over into the Jerry Douglas Plays-Faster-Than-I-Can-Hear realm….

    While the speed is often impressive, there is another realm that Chris goes into that's not about speed but like another dimension. I've been listening to him since he was a kid, and I suspect it's from Scotty Stoneman. The first time I heard this it changed my thinking, as well. Scotty would go off into a different place, and then come back.

    Listen to all of this, from 1965. Jerry Garcia called him the Jimi Hendrix of the fiddle.

    The Bertucci watch has solid lugs. Not those little rinky dink pins. Swiss or U.S.A. movements, mine is titanium and you can beat em' with a hammer and they won't quit. 

    Best field watch I've ever owned.

    The main thing I dislike about Jimis music is the whole hippie aspect. Even though he was about as innovative as anyone could ever be, he stuck to the hippie fad so aggressively. 
     

    I imagine if he could have maintained such a high level of creativity and innovation without aligning so strictly to a passing fad his music would have much stronger appeal once the hippie fad died. 

    It was his bag, man.

    Well, until the battery is dead, or the phone is obsoleted, chuckle. 

    A watch is a vital piece of equipment for me. Like a knife or two. I'm not tethered to my phone, sometimes I leave it just to piss it off.  And the phone is too brittle.

    I need a John Wayne watch, like a Bertucci.
