  1. I received an email invitation from the Sales Engineer Dan I've been dealing with for over 10 years and offered me the deal. I have purchased over $100k from Sweerwater over the last 10 years. So that was a nice gesture of appreciation for my business.
  2. They do look good. It appears the latches have been improved and the instrument fits nice and snug. I have the Version 2 Gibson Chainsaw cases from 1980 and 81 and I had to so far replace one of the latches on one of the cases, but having the case over forty years and only having that one incident the old one seem to be fine as well.... I'm just not going to pay over $300 for a used one.
  3. Yesterday started the three light coats of clear and today will be three heavy coats of nitro clear . Hoping to be done Saturday
  4. Brand spanking new got 30% off
  5. Picked up two of the modern chainsaw cases because I need a case for my Lucy Les Paul and the current project . definitely a few steps up from the 70-80 chainsaw cases
  6. I get it..... my kids were driven to school as well.
  7. Of course we walked to school. My older sister, younger sister, older brother, two younger brothers and I walked to school without our parents. Only time our parents went to school was on the first day to tell the teacher (in front of the whole class) they could take the paddle to us if we got out of line. We never bullied kids, unless we were called wetbacks or TJ's... or they messed with our sisters.... Then we would wait until school was over and the kid was off campus and my older sister, older brother myself and my younger brother would beat his *ss. It only happened a few times.... Next day he was at school with two black eyes..... him and his little buddies never peeped another word to us..... But never did the pretend smoking stuff.... By second grade I was heavy into music and sports.
  8. Who said it did????? And I would never do that, it's easy enough for us to walk them back home.
  9. Congrats!!!! Those are great bass guitars!!!
  10. I think I would go with the double cut if the body was one piece..... But the last three days I have been fixated on this sucker, which is a smoking deal. If I pull the trigger I'm going put a gold Gibson Kahler Tremolo on it. https://www.gibson.com/en-US/p/Electric-Guitar/Les-Paul-Supreme-Exclusive/Ebony-3-Pickup
  11. That is a beauty!!! Some day I would like to get me one of those slabs. Congrats!!!!
  12. That sucks. We only had one person that drove a massive 4x4 that would fly around the community and he was leasing and the fines would go to the owner / landlord. He eventually was evicted and no issues since. The kids do play out in the streets which worries me a little , because some parent let their 3-5 year-olds wonder around the community with no parental supervision, which is worrisome to me but they're not my kids..... but we played football in public streets when we were kids. Only time we intervene is when the very little ones make into our driveway to pick flowers which is no big deal, but we walk them back to their homes and let their parents know we brought them back..... Our big worry is if they make it out of the gate, as there are coyotes and the occasional homeless folks about.
  13. Our community is great and so are the HOA Representatives. I have friends that also live in private communities with HOA's in La Verne and have nothing but great luck. We do things to our front yard and no issues, the only thing the HOA really enforce is people not observing the speed limit of 10 mph and there are cameras everywhere and basically it's $100 per infraction, so people in the community do a good job of observing the speed limit, plus there are speed bumps every 50 feet. We also have numerous guest parking, and if you have family or guests you can get a pass from the HOA. For each house you get 14 days a year to park over-night in a Visitor parking spot. We are fortunate to and have a 100 foot driveway that our guest can park without question. Most of the bad opinions I hear about HOA's are people that have never lived in a community with an HOA, I take those blind opinions with a grain of salt. It's funny the friends I have that don't have HOA's wished they had it for their areas.
  14. HOA here. It's good thing.
  15. Sorry I just don't agree with you, and really don't understand your complaint about California when you seem to be doing well where you're at. Sorry but I just don't get that line of thinking of currently being happy in a location but complain about another piece of real state that has no direct affect on you. I have done okay in California, and have pretty much enjoyed my time in California..... Wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
